GoHighLevel inbound webhooks give any external system a direct channel to push data into your CRM. You create a workflow with an inbound webhook trigger, copy the generated URL, and paste it into your outside tool or app. When data arrives, GoHighLevel maps the incoming fields to contact records or custom values and runs the rest of the workflow.

Summary. Inbound webhooks in GoHighLevel allow data from third-party apps, custom-built tools, or other CRMs to flow automatically into your account without a native integration. After setting up the inbound webhook trigger in a workflow, you use the provided URL in your external system. GoHighLevel receives the payload, lets you fetch a sample request to map fields, and then creates or updates contacts based on the incoming data. This keeps GoHighLevel as the central record for all your business information.
