Everything GoHighLevel Email Includes

All features included in the $97 Starter plan and above.

📧

Unlimited Email Sending

Send to your entire contact list with no monthly cap. LC-Email charges $0.675 per 1,000 emails — typically $5–$20/month for most agencies — replacing a $99+/month Mailchimp plan.

🤖

Visual Workflow Automations

Drag-and-drop automation builder that rivals ActiveCampaign’s best plans. Create multi-step email sequences, SMS follow-ups, and conditional logic — all in one place.

📱

Email + SMS in One Workflow

Combine email campaigns with SMS touchpoints in a single automation. No Zapier bridge required — native, seamless integration that no standalone email tool can match.

👥

Unlimited Contacts

Unlike Mailchimp ($299/mo for 50k contacts) or ActiveCampaign ($229/mo for 25k), GoHighLevel’s subscriptions are unlimited contacts. Pay for usage, not your list size.

🎯

Segmentation & Tags

Powerful tagging and smart list segmentation lets you send the right email to the right person at exactly the right moment in their journey.

📊

Email Analytics & Tracking

Open rates, click rates, reply tracking, unsubscribe rates, and revenue attribution — all in the GoHighLevel dashboard alongside your CRM data.

How GoHighLevel Email Workflows Work

Workflows combine triggers, conditions, and actions across email, SMS, and calling into one visual canvas.

Trigger: Lead Opts In

A form submission, ad click, or API trigger starts the workflow and tags the contact automatically.

Action: Send Welcome Email

Instantly sends a branded welcome email using your drag-and-drop template. Full HTML or visual builder supported.

Wait: 24 Hours

Add time delays between touchpoints. Wait for specific days, times, or conditions before the next step fires.

Condition: Did They Open?

Branch your automation based on email opens, link clicks, replies, or custom field values. Send different paths to engaged vs. unengaged leads.

Action: SMS Follow-Up

If they didn’t open the email, send an SMS nudge. If they did, move them to a booking workflow. All native — no Zapier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send email campaigns to unlimited contacts in GoHighLevel?

Yes. GoHighLevel’s LC-Email system lets you send to your full contact list with no per-contact pricing. You pay a small per-email fee ($0.675/1,000 emails via LC-Email) which for most agencies is $5–$25/month — far less than Mailchimp at $299/month.

Does GoHighLevel support email templates and drag-and-drop editing?

Yes. GoHighLevel includes a visual email builder with hundreds of pre-built templates. You can also write HTML directly or import your existing templates.

Can GoHighLevel send transactional emails (order confirmations, etc.)?

Yes, via the workflow system or direct API. LC-Email supports transactional sending for receipts, booking confirmations, and notifications — all natively within the platform.

How does GoHighLevel compare to ActiveCampaign for complex automations?

GoHighLevel’s Workflow builder matches ActiveCampaign’s Plus and Professional tiers for most use cases. It adds cross-channel actions (SMS, calling, DMs) that ActiveCampaign doesn’t have. See the full cost savings calculator to see your potential savings.
