A dead-simple way to connect n8n with GoHighLevel (no dev needed)

🔥

I’ve built and integrated n8n with GoHighLevel for 15+ clients now, and this is still the fastest, most reliable way I’ve found to connect them — no overcomplication.

I kept seeing people struggle with n8n + GHL API authentication, scopes, and tokens. I spent time refining a simple process, and here’s exactly how to do it in under 3 minutes:

In your n8n workflow, add an HTTP Request node.
Head to the GoHighLevel API v2 documentation, search for the Contacts API, and choose an endpoint (like GET /contacts/{id}).
Copy the example curl request shown in the docs.
Back in n8n, click Import Curl inside your HTTP node, paste it in, and click Import.
In GoHighLevel, go to Settings → Private Integrations → Create New Integration.
Add the required scope based on the endpoint (for contacts, it’s Contacts Read Only).
Copy the Access Token, paste it into your HTTP node, and hit Execute.

You’ll instantly see your contact data appear in n8n — name, email, phone, everything.

No need for plugins, no messy OAuth setup, and no extra tools. Just a clean, reliable connection you can reuse for any automation.

If anything’s unclear, let me know — I can drop the video walkthrough to set this up.
