How to Automate Tasks with GoHighLevel's Scheduler Trigger
By Marnix Geerkens. Published 2025-11-06. Updated 2026-06-02.
The scheduler trigger in GoHighLevel starts a workflow on a fixed clock interval rather than from a contact action. You can set it to fire hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or on a specific one-off date. It works well for recurring internal tasks, timed reports, webhook syncs, and any automation that does not need a contact to do something first.

Summary. GoHighLevel's scheduler trigger runs workflows on a time-based schedule instead of waiting for a contact event. It supports hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and custom cron intervals, with options to skip weekends and set an end date. Common uses include assigning daily tasks to team members, sending operations reports to Slack, and syncing data via webhook on a fixed cadence. One important limit: the scheduler trigger cannot share a workflow with any other trigger.
