Referral Engine workflow for GoHighLevel
By Marnix Geerkens. Published 2026-08-01. Updated 2026-08-01.
In short
Referral Engine is one of 30 automated GoHighLevel workflows inside RocketLauncher's free master snapshot library. It fires when a contact gets tagged (tagged for referral ask) and then runs 5 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 a happy client is tagged, this workflow asks for a referral with a tracked link and a reward, then follows up a week later with a reminder and a thank you.
- Category: Reputation and referral.
- 5 steps run automatically once the trigger fires.
Before you start
