Automated Booking System
Building a Fully Automated CRM System in GoHighlevel
Client Goal
Justin wanted a CRM system that ensures:
✔ no lead gets lost
✔ no quote is delayed
✔ no deal stalls due to missed follow-ups
✔ automation supports the team instead of replacing them
The objective was to create a structured, automated sales pipeline that improves response speed, visibility, and conversion rates.
The Challenge
Like many growing teams, Justin’s sales process relied on manual tracking and follow-ups. This created several risks:
• leads not assigned quickly
• inconsistent follow-ups
• delayed responses to prospects
• poor visibility into deal status
• deals stalling without accountability
A streamlined automation system was needed to keep deals moving while maintaining human control over pricing and closing.
The Solution
A fully automated CRM workflow was built inside GoHighLevel, designed to manage leads from inquiry to close while keeping the sales team in control of critical decisions.
How the System Works
1. Lead Intake & Pipeline Entry
When a new inquiry arrives:
-
The lead is automatically added to the pipeline
-
The opportunity is placed in the New Inquiry stage
This ensures every lead is captured and tracked instantly.
2. Automatic Lead Distribution
The system:
-
assigns leads using round-robin distribution
-
ensures fair workload distribution
-
eliminates manual assignment delays
No lead waits for someone to claim it.
3. Task Creation & Team Alerts
Immediately after assignment:
-
tasks are created for follow-up
-
team members receive instant alerts
-
managers are notified of new leads
This ensures rapid response and accountability.
4. Activity Monitoring & Escalation
If no activity occurs within a defined timeframe:
-
the system alerts managers or administrators
-
stalled deals are flagged automatically
This prevents leads from slipping through the cracks.
5. Pipeline Change Automation
When a deal moves stages:
-
tasks are created for the assigned rep
-
tags are applied for classification
-
automation adjusts follow-up logic
This keeps the workflow organized and actionable.
6. Quote Stage Trigger Automation
When a deal moves to Quote Sent:
-
the system records send date and amount
-
deal status updates automatically
-
reminders trigger only if unopened or unsigned
This maintains accuracy and prevents over-following.
7. Human-Controlled Quote Sending
To protect pricing integrity:
-
sales reps send quotes manually
-
templates (PandaDoc / DocuSign) are preloaded
-
reps review pricing before sending
This balances automation with financial control.
8. Long-Term Nurture & Re-Engagement
The system continues nurturing leads through:
-
automated reminders
-
promotional offers
-
newsletters & event announcements
This keeps opportunities warm for future conversions.
Automation Scope
The system includes 12 event-based automations, managing:
✔ lead intake
✔ assignment & alerts
✔ follow-up tasks
✔ inactivity escalation
✔ pipeline stage actions
✔ quote tracking
✔ long-term nurture campaigns

All while keeping the sales team in control where it matters most.
