Where every update lands.

The outcomes of your requests

Depending on what you ask, your AI will perform one of these four actions.

NEW DATA

New contact records

The AI adds a fresh contact to your GoHighLevel list. This includes all the standard info you provide in your prompt.

UPDATED

Modified contact info

The AI finds a specific person and updates their details or custom fields. This keeps your CRM current without manual entry.

SEARCHED

Contact lookups

Your agent finds the right person by searching your existing database. This ensures you aren't creating duplicates.

REVIEW

Human verification

If the AI can't find a match or needs clarification on a custom field, it will stop and ask you for direction.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The agent follows a logic chain to ensure the right data hits the right record.

  1. Locate the person

    The agent first checks your database to see if the contact already exists. This prevents messy duplicate entries.

    list_contactsget_contact

  2. Create new records

    If the person isn't in your CRM, the agent builds a new profile from scratch using your instructions.

    create_contact

  3. Modify existing data

    The agent targets specific fields or custom attributes to change them to the new values you provided.

    get_contact

  4. Confirm the change

    The agent verifies the update was successful and reports back to you with the current state of the record.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete contacts from my CRM?

    No. The current tools only allow for searching, creating, and retrieving contact data.

  • 02

    Will the AI create duplicate contacts if I'm not careful?

    The AI uses search tools to check for existing records first, but it's best to provide unique identifiers like email addresses to be sure.

  • 03

    Can the AI update custom fields?

    Yes, as long as the field exists in your GoHighLevel account, the agent can modify it.

  • 04

    Does the AI need me to provide the contact ID?

    Not necessarily. You can just give the agent a name or email, and it will use its search tools to find the right ID for you.

  • 05

    Can the AI manage my GoHighLevel workflows or automations?

    No. This specific connection is limited to contact and custom field data.
