Drip Workflows and Rules, recreated as GoHighLevel Workflows with triggers, waits, conditions, goals - Segments, rebuilt as Smart Lists using tags, fields, dates, event counts, LTV fields - Forms and landing pages, moved to GoHighLevel Forms, Surveys, Funnels, or embedded temporarily during cutover -

Watch opens, clicks, replies, unsubscribes, complaints, bounce codes, attributed revenue - Consolidate duplicate tags, standardize naming, lock Smart Lists and core Workflows - Document DNS, list health, ecommerce triggers, and sending thresholds --- ## Mapping guide, Drip to GoHighLevel | Drip object | GoHighLevel target | Notes | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Tags | Tags | Keep prefixes, seg\_, action\_, product\_ | | Segments | Smart Lists | Recreate with filters, tags, fields, events, dates | | Custom fields | Custom fields | Keep exact names, normalize later | | Workflows and Rules | Workflows | Triggers, waits, splits, event checks | | Campaigns | Email campaigns or Workflow emails | Rebuild templates, then clone | | Suppressed profiles | Email DND | Import as suppressed, verify with tests | | Shopify or Woo events | Workflow triggers | Abandoned checkout, order submitted, payment received | | Purchases and LTV | Payments plus Workflows | Update LTV, buyer tags, pipelines | Single source of truth, one list strategy, Smart Lists for targeting, no duplicate audiences. --- ## Abandoned checkout in GoHighLevel - Trigger, Abandoned Checkout with a delay - Email steps, optional SMS if you use SMS in GoHighLevel - Goal check, order submitted or payment received ends the sequence - Optional, fire Meta and Google conversion events on recovery --- ## Deliverability checklist - SPF, DKIM, DMARC pass, From domain matches your authenticated domain - Warm by engagement cohorts, complaint rate under 0.1 percent, bounce rate under 2 percent - Use Email Events in Workflows, opened, clicked, replied filters scoped to each send - Suppression imported as Email DND, validated with sample records --- ## Common pitfalls and fixes - Segment counts do not match, align rolling windows and last\_engaged\_at logic, check time zone - Flows stall on email events, scope Email Events to the same campaign or template and extend waits - Abandoned checkout not firing, verify store connection and delay threshold, confirm event payloads - Missing ad conversions, capture gclid or fbclid on first touch, map to conversion actions in Workflow steps --- ## FAQ **Can I keep all my segments** Yes. Recreate them as Smart Lists with tags, fields, events, and date filters. Match rolling windows to align counts. **Will unsubscribes stay suppressed** Yes. Import the suppression file as Email DND. Test a few records to confirm they never receive sends. **Can I run abandoned checkout and post purchase** Yes. Use Abandoned Checkout, Order submitted, and Payment received triggers. End flows when a purchase event occurs. **Do I need to re confirm my list** No, if you preserved suppression and consent. Only new opt ins use your double opt in Workflow. **What about Drip’s liquid style personalization** Replicate with custom fields and template variables in GoHighLevel. Test each merge field before full sends. --- [Get Your 30 Days Free Trial + Free Live Bootcamp to Launch HighLevel Together](https://www.gohighlevel.com/highlevel-bootcamp?fp%5Fref=details&ref=netpartners.marketing) ##
