How do I send an email via GoHighLevel?
Short answer: You can send gohighlevel email in GoHighLevel by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the GoHighLevel Send GoHighLevel Email action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Send GoHighLevel Email.
What does the Send GoHighLevel Email action do in GoHighLevel?
Sends a one-shot email to a contact via the GHL email system. Useful for transactional sends triggered by external events that should appear in the GHL contact timeline.
What inputs does Send GoHighLevel Email require?
Required: Contact ID, Subject. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

What happens if GoHighLevel returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message GoHighLevel returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Send GoHighLevel Email support batch operations?
Run Send GoHighLevel Email inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within GoHighLevel's rate limits.
