AI-Powered Client Onboarding Automation in Go High Level

Client's Goal: A sales mentorship company wanted to automate their client onboarding from the moment a payment was received, ensuring every new client got a fast, personalized welcome and follow-up—without letting anyone slip through the cracks.

Challenges: They struggled with manual onboarding steps, missed follow-ups, and duplicate entries. Clients sometimes didn’t get timely communications or reminders, and the team spent too much time chasing unresponsive clients.

Solution & Approach: I built a fully automated onboarding workflow in Go High Level. The system triggers instantly when a payment comes in, checks if the client is already onboarded, and then runs the entire onboarding sequence. All client data is pulled directly from the CRM and payment integrations, and every step—from personalized emails to SMS—runs without manual intervention unless escalation is needed.
