GoHighLevel Form Submission to Pipeline: Recipe 06 Checklist

GoHighLevel workflow recipe 06 · names checked against HighLevel’s help center on October 17, 2026

The problem: Form leads never land in the sales pipeline.

What this workflow does: If your quote form is submitted, GoHighLevel creates the opportunity.

The workflow at a glance

1. Trigger — Form Submitted · Form Is: quote form
2. Action — Create Opportunity · stage: New lead
3. Action — Add Contact Tag · website form
4. Action — Send Internal Notification
5. Action — Send Email · we got your request

Bold names are the exact trigger and action names in HighLevel. Values after “·” are examples — use your own.

Step-by-step setup

1. Automation → Workflows → Create Workflow → Start from scratch.
2. Add New Trigger → Form Submitted. Filter: Form Is = your quote or contact form.
3. Create Opportunity: choose the pipeline and the first stage. HighLevel is phasing out the combined Create/Update Opportunity action in favour of Create Opportunity and Update Opportunity.
4. Set the duplicate-opportunity toggle on purpose: off stops a second opportunity for the same contact.
5. Add Contact Tag: the lead source (e.g. website-form).
6. Send Internal Notification to whoever works new leads.
7. Send Email confirming the request was received.

Example Email message

Subject: We got your request

Hi {{contact.first_name}}, thanks for your request. Here's what happens next: [your process in one line].

Example only — write your own wording.

Before you publish the workflow

• Use Create Opportunity, not Create/Update
• Decide on duplicate opportunities
• Tag the lead source for reporting
