Overview

Creating an effective email campaign in GoHighLevel (GHL) allows real estate wholesalers and investors to automate lead nurturing, follow-ups, and deal promotions. In this guide, we’ll walk through the step-by-step process of setting up a high-converting email campaign in GHL.

What you’ll learn:

  • Setting up an email campaign in GoHighLevel

  • Crafting an effective email sequence

  • Automating follow-ups for maximum response rates

Step 1: Navigate to the Campaigns Section

1️⃣ Log in to GoHighLevel and navigate to Marketing > Campaigns in the left-hand menu.
2️⃣ Click on "Create Campaign" and select "Email Campaign."
3️⃣ Name your campaign based on its purpose (e.g., “Motivated Seller Follow-Up”).

Pro Tip: Keep your campaign names organized so you can easily track their performance later.

Step 2: Build Your Email Sequence

In GoHighLevel, you can set up a single email or a drip sequence to keep engaging your leads.

📩 For one-time email campaigns:

  • Click "Add Email" and craft your message.

  • Set your subject line (e.g., “Cash Offer for Your Property – Let’s Talk!”).

  • Write a compelling email body (keep it short, personalized, and action-driven).

  • Add a Call to Action (CTA) like “Click Here to Schedule a Call” or “Reply to This Email”.

🔄 For automated drip campaigns:

  • Click "Add Step" to schedule multiple emails over time.

  • Adjust the timing (e.g., send the second email 2 days after the first).

  • Personalize each email based on the lead's stage in your pipeline.

🚀 Pro Tip: Use dynamic variables like {FirstName} to make each email feel personal.

Step 3: Set Up Automation & Triggers

Automation ensures that your emails are sent based on specific lead actions or triggers.

🔹 Common triggers for real estate campaigns:

  • New Lead Added – Automatically start an email sequence when a new lead enters your system.

  • Cold Lead Re-Engagement – Trigger emails when a lead hasn't responded in a set timeframe.

  • Appointment Follow-Up – Send an email after a booked or missed appointment.

💡 How to set triggers:
1️⃣ Go to "Automations" in GoHighLevel.
2️⃣ Click "Create Workflow" and set conditions for when emails should be sent.
3️⃣ Add actions like “Send Email” and define follow-up steps.

Pro Tip: Always include a phone call or SMS follow-up step to maximize conversions.

Step 4: Test & Launch Your Campaign

Before going live, test your email campaign to ensure everything is working as expected.

✔ Send a test email to yourself to check formatting and deliverability.
✔ Ensure all links (appointment booking, property listings, etc.) are working.
✔ Check that your automation triggers fire correctly.

When everything looks good, click “Start Campaign” and let GoHighLevel handle the rest! 🎉

Step 5: Monitor & Optimize Your Email Performance

📊 GoHighLevel provides analytics to track email open rates, click-through rates, and replies.

🔹 Key metrics to watch:

  • Open Rate – Measures how many recipients opened your email.

  • Click-Through Rate (CTR) – Tracks how many people clicked a link inside your email.

  • Reply Rate – The percentage of recipients who responded.

🚀 Pro Tip: If open rates are low, test different subject lines. If reply rates are low, adjust your CTA to be more direct.

Setting up email campaigns in GoHighLevel is a game-changer for real estate wholesalers and investors. Automation + personalization = more closed deals with less effort.
