Why Add GoHighLevel Forms to WordPress

GoHighLevel forms allow you to capture leads directly into your CRM. When connected properly, every form submission can trigger automation, send follow-ups, and assign leads to pipelines.

Benefits include:

• Automatic lead capture into CRM
• Instant workflow triggers
• Email and SMS follow-ups
• Centralized lead management

Step 1: Create a Form in GoHighLevel

Before embedding, you need a form ready inside GoHighLevel.

1. Go to Sites in your GoHighLevel dashboard
2. Click on Forms
3. Create a new form or edit an existing one
4. Add fields like name, email, phone number
5. Save and publish your form

Make sure your form is connected to a workflow so that leads are followed up automatically.

Step 2: Copy the Form Embed Code

Once your form is ready:

1. Open your form inside GoHighLevel
2. Click on Integrate
3. Copy the HTML embed code or iframe code

This code is what you will paste into WordPress.

Step 3: Add Form to WordPress Using Gutenberg

If you are using the default WordPress editor:

1. Open the page where you want to add the form
2. Add a Custom HTML block
3. Paste the GoHighLevel embed code
4. Preview and publish

Step 4: Add Form Using Elementor or Page Builders

If you use Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery:

1. Drag an HTML widget into your page
2. Paste the embed code
3. Adjust spacing and layout
4. Publish the page

This method gives you more control over design and placement.

Step 5: Test Your Form

After embedding the form, always test it:

• Submit a test entry
• Check if the lead appears in GoHighLevel
• Verify that workflows are triggered
• Confirm email or SMS follow-ups are sent

Alternative Method: Using GoHighLevel Plugin

GoHighLevel also offers a WordPress plugin that allows easier integration.

• Install the LeadConnector plugin
• Connect your GoHighLevel account
• Select forms directly inside WordPress

This is useful if you manage multiple forms or want a cleaner setup.
