How to Add Dynamic Text to GoHighLevel Funnel Pages (Step-by-Step Guide)

Why dynamic text matters in GoHighLevel funnels

When every lead sees the exact same generic message, your funnels feel cold. Dynamic text lets you pull data from a contact record or URL parameters so the copy on your GoHighLevel funnel pages updates in real time.

Instead of a bland “Thanks for signing up”, you can show:

“Thanks, John – your fitness plan is on the way.”

That tiny change immediately lifts trust, perceived relevance, and conversion rates on thank-you pages, upsells, and follow-up offers.

If you’re not using GoHighLevel yet and want an all‑in‑one CRM, funnel, and automation platform that makes this kind of personalization straightforward, you can start a free GoHighLevel trial here.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how dynamic text works in GoHighLevel funnels and how to implement it step by step.

How dynamic text works behind the scenes

At a high level, dynamic text in GoHighLevel funnels is powered by three pieces working together:

1. Contact data – Fields on the contact record such as first name, email, phone, offer, or any custom fields you create.
2. URL parameters – Key–value pairs added to the end of a page URL, like ?first_name=John&offer=Free+Consultation.
3. Merge fields – Placeholders you drop into the funnel page builder that pull values from contact data or URL parameters, for example {{first_name}} or {{contact.first_name}}.

When a visitor submits a form or comes from an email/SMS that includes parameters, GoHighLevel:

• Saves the data to the contact record.
• Passes relevant values along in the page URL.
• Replaces merge fields on the page with real values at render time.

The result: every visitor sees copy that reflects their own name, offer, or context without you manually editing the page.

Step 1: Decide where personalization will help

Before you touch the funnel builder, decide where dynamic text will move the needle most. Common high‑impact spots include:

• Thank‑you pages – Reinforce what the lead just requested and what will happen next.
• Lead magnet delivery pages – Mirror the exact download or training title they opted in for.
• Upsell/downsells – Reference their previous choice or plan to make the next offer feel tailored.
• Webinar or challenge registrations – Drop their name into event reminders or schedule details.

For each funnel step, ask:

• What single line of text, if personalized, would make this page feel obviously about the visitor?

That’s where you’ll start adding dynamic text.

If you want a partner to map this out across your entire funnel and automation stack, Revset Labs – an AI automation and marketing agency – can help architect the strategy and implementation, not just the copy.

Step 2: Capture the right data in your GoHighLevel forms

Dynamic text is only as strong as the data you collect.

On the opt‑in or order page:

1. Add form fields for the data you want to reuse later (for example, First Name, Email, Offer, Business Type).
2. Keep your forms lean – every extra field adds friction. Only capture data you’ll actually use.
3. Make sure each field is mapped to the correct contact field in GoHighLevel (e.g., First Name → first_name).

Once contacts submit, GoHighLevel stores those values on the contact record. From there you can pull them into other steps via URL parameters and merge fields.

Step 3: Pass contact data to the next funnel page with URL parameters

To use dynamic text on a thank‑you or upsell page, you need to pass the contact’s data from the opt‑in step to the next step.

The most reliable pattern is:

1. Open the opt‑in step in the funnel builder.
2. In the button or form settings, locate the Redirect URL or Next Step settings.
3. Append URL parameters that reference your form fields. For example:

https://yourdomain.com/thank-you?first_name={{first_name}}&offer={{custom_values.offer}}

• first_name and offer are the parameter keys.
• {{first_name}} and {{custom_values.offer}} are merge fields that insert actual values when the URL is generated.

When the form submits, the visitor is sent to a URL like:

https://yourdomain.com/thank-you?first_name=John&offer=Website+Audit

That query string is what powers personalization on the next page.

Tip: Keep parameter keys lowercase and use underscores (for example first_name, business_type) so they’re easy to remember and debug.

Step 4: Insert merge fields on the personalized funnel page

Now switch to the thank‑you (or upsell) page where you want text to change per visitor.

1. Open the page in the GoHighLevel funnel editor.
2. Click into the text element you want to personalize.
3. Use the merge field picker or type the merge field by hand – for example:

Thanks, {{first_name}}! Your {{offer}} is on the way.

4. Repeat this anywhere a contact‑specific detail will make the copy feel more relevant:
   • Page headlines
   • Subheadlines
   • Button labels
   • Short body copy blocks

Behind the scenes, GoHighLevel checks the page URL and/or contact record and swaps each merge field with the correct value.

If you’d rather have a done‑for‑you implementation of dynamic text across your funnels (including conditional logic and advanced offer flows), Revset Labs can design and build that system for you while you focus on strategy and sales.

Step 5: Test, troubleshoot, and add fallbacks

Before sending traffic, thoroughly test your dynamic text experience:

1. Use test contacts. Submit your own forms with different names, emails, and offers.
2. Check the URL. Confirm parameters like first_name=John actually appear after submission.
3. Verify the page copy. Make sure the thank‑you page headline and body copy show the correct values.
4. Test missing data. Try submitting the form without certain fields to see how the page behaves.

Where possible, build in simple fallbacks so the page never looks broken. For example:

• Instead of Hey {{first_name}}, use Hey there when no name is present.
• Keep dynamic fields toward the middle of sentences so a missing value doesn’t create an awkward blank.

If something doesn’t render:

• Double‑check that your merge fields match the actual contact fields.
• Confirm that the redirect URL is using the correct merge field syntax.
• Test the funnel in an incognito window to avoid caching issues.

Advanced personalization ideas using dynamic text

Once the basics are live, you can use dynamic text to create much richer experiences, including:

• Segment‑specific messaging – Change headlines based on business_type (for example, “For local gyms” vs. “For agencies”).
• Offer‑aligned thank‑you pages – Mirror the exact lead magnet or tripwire they requested in your confirmation copy.
• Dynamic bonuses – Reference the specific bonus or fast‑action offer they unlocked.
• Personalized follow‑up funnels – Sprinkle dynamic text into email, SMS, and chat conversations so the message feels like a 1:1 conversation instead of a blast.

This is where GoHighLevel really shines: you can connect your funnels, automations, and pipelines so every piece stays in sync. If you want a platform built for this level of personalization, spin up a GoHighLevel trial and start testing on a small segment of your list.
