GoHighLevel automations for trade businesses, built and tested for you.
These are the workflows we set up for trades: replying to new leads in
a minute, texting back missed calls, chasing quotes, reminding customers
about bookings and asking for Google reviews once the job is done. Each
one below shows what triggers it, what it does, and whether it needs
data from your job software.

The GoHighLevel workflows we build for trades
Every workflow fixes one leak, and each is scoped on its own, so you only
pay for the ones you need. Cards marked Needs job software
work best when GoHighLevel is connected to the system you run jobs in.
New lead instant reply
GoHighLevel only
Trigger
A web form, Facebook lead form or landing page enquiry comes in.
What it does
Texts the customer back within a minute from your business number, confirms what they asked for and tells you a lead just landed.
Missed call text back
GoHighLevel only
Trigger
A call to your GoHighLevel number rings out or goes to voicemail.
What it does
Sends the caller an SMS straight away so they wait for your reply instead of ringing the next business, and alerts you to call back.
A booking is made in a GoHighLevel calendar, or a job is scheduled in your job software.
What it does
Confirms the booking, reminds the customer the day before and on the morning, and lets them reply to reschedule instead of leaving you standing at a locked gate.
Google review requests after job completion
Needs job software
Trigger
The job is marked complete, either as a pipeline stage in GoHighLevel or as a status in your job software.
What it does
Asks every customer for a Google review with a one-tap link, sends one polite reminder if they have not left one, then stops.
A past customer has not booked in a set time, such as 12 months since their last job.
What it does
Sends a short, relevant message about a service they are due for, like a hot water service check or an annual gutter clean, with an easy opt-out.
Lost lead long-term nurture
GoHighLevel only
Trigger
An opportunity is marked lost or goes quiet after the quote follow-up ends.
What it does
Checks in occasionally over the following months, so when the job finally goes ahead your name is the one they remember.
// WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
Which automations need your job software connected
GoHighLevel knows about leads, calls, texts and bookings. It does not know
when a job is finished, a quote is accepted or an invoice is paid, because
that happens in ServiceM8, Tradify or whatever runs your jobs. That split
decides which workflows run on their own.
Runs on GoHighLevel alone
New lead instant reply
Missed call text back
Speed to lead alerts
Lost lead long-term nurture
Best with job software connected
Quote follow-up
Appointment confirmations and reminders
Google review requests after job completion
Dormant customer reactivation
Without a connection, these still work off GoHighLevel pipeline stages,
but someone has to move the job to Completed or Quote Sent by hand, and
the day they forget, the review request never goes out. Running ServiceM8?
We connect the two so job status drives the workflows:
ServiceM8 GoHighLevel integration.
// HOW WE BUILD THEM
The rules every workflow follows
A badly built automation does more damage than none: follow-ups after
the customer already booked, texts at midnight, review requests to
someone still waiting on a callback. Every build follows these rules.
stop on reply
Stops when they reply
Every sequence stops the moment the customer replies, so nobody gets a follow-up after they have already said yes.
your number
Sounds like you
Texts come from your business number, written with you, so they sound like your business and not a robot.
quiet hours
No midnight texts
Quiet hours are set, so a lead at 11pm gets the instant reply and the follow-up waits until a sensible time the next day.
opt-out
Spam Act compliant
Marketing messages carry an opt-out, which Australia’s Spam Act requires, and opt-outs are honoured across every workflow.
no gating
Inside Google’s rules
Review requests go to every customer the same way. No filtering unhappy customers out and no incentives.
tested
Tested on real phones
Each workflow is tested before it goes live, then watched after launch so a broken trigger gets caught by us, not a customer.
// THE HONEST BIT
Build them yourself, or have them built
GoHighLevel ships its own workflow recipes, and if you enjoy building
systems you can adapt them yourself. What trips most owners up is
everything around the workflow: stop conditions, quiet hours, phone
and email verification, and testing on real phones. If you are still
weighing up the platform itself, start with
GoHighLevel for tradies.
If the account is not set up yet, that comes first:

// QUESTIONS
Straight answers before you ask
Not sure which GoHighLevel automation to start with, or whether you need us at all? Ask us directly and we'll give you a straight answer.
What GoHighLevel automations should a trade business start with?
Start where the most work leaks. For most trades that is the new lead instant reply and missed call text back, because an enquiry nobody answers is gone within the hour. Quote follow-up and Google review requests usually come next. Build one, check it works, then add the next.
Doesn’t GoHighLevel already come with these workflows?
GoHighLevel ships pre-built workflow recipes and templates, and they are a fair starting point. They still need your number, your wording, your pipeline stages, quiet hours and stop conditions set properly, and they know nothing about your job software. That setup and testing is the part we do.
Do I need ServiceM8 or other job software for these to work?
Not for all of them. Instant replies, missed call text back, speed to lead alerts and lost lead nurture run on GoHighLevel alone. Review requests, reminders, quote follow-up and reactivation work best when they fire from real job events, which means connecting your job software. If you run ServiceM8, that is our ServiceM8 GoHighLevel integration.
Can review requests go out without job software?
Yes. Someone moves the job to a Completed stage in the GoHighLevel pipeline, often from the phone app, and the request goes out. It works, but it relies on a person remembering. Connecting job software means the request fires when the job is actually closed off, with nobody needing to remember.
I already have a GoHighLevel account. Can you build automations inside it?
Yes. We build inside the account you already own, so the contacts, number and history stay yours. If the account itself is still half set up, such as the phone number, email domain or business verification, we sort that first as part of GoHighLevel setup.
What does it cost?
GoHighLevel automation builds start from $1,800 + GST, inside our automation service. We look at your current account and which workflows you need, then give you one fixed quote before any work starts, with no lock-in contract. The GoHighLevel subscription and usage, such as SMS and email sending, are paid to GoHighLevel separately.
