GoHighLevel campaigns let you build automated multi-step follow-up sequences combining SMS, email, phone calls, and voicemail drops. Each step fires on a schedule you set, and the campaign automatically stops when a contact replies. Start from Marketing > Campaigns, name your campaign, add steps in order, configure the delivery window, and add contacts to kick it off.

Summary. A GoHighLevel campaign is a timed sequence of outreach steps that runs automatically after a contact is added to it. You can mix SMS, email, outbound calls, and voicemail drops in any order, spacing each step by minutes or hours. Campaigns include a scheduling window to prevent messages outside business hours, and can create pipeline opportunities automatically when a contact responds.
