Failed Payment Dunning workflow for GoHighLevel
By Marnix Geerkens. Published 2026-08-01. Updated 2026-08-01.
In short
Failed Payment Dunning is one of 30 automated GoHighLevel workflows inside RocketLauncher's free master snapshot library. It fires when an invoice reaches this status (invoice (filter: failed/overdue)) and then runs 7 steps on its own, no one at the keyboard. Join RocketLauncher University free to get this workflow and the other 29 in one import.
- When an invoice fails or goes overdue, this workflow sends an email and a one-tap fix link by text, waits two days, sends a final reminder if still unpaid, and alerts the team.
- Category: E-commerce and payments.
- 7 steps run automatically once the trigger fires.

How to test it worked
Trigger the workflow with a test contact of your own, using a real phone number and email you control.
Watch each step fire in order inside GoHighLevel and confirm the text and email actually arrive.
Check that any tag, opportunity, or task the workflow creates shows up correctly before you send it to a real lead.
