Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble with the GoHighLevel + Zapier integration and hoping someone here has experienced this before.
I’m using the “Pipeline Stage Changed” trigger in Zapier for GoHighLevel, but Zapier is only returning placeholder/sample values instead of real opportunity data.
Example of what I’m getting:
First Name → first name
Email → email
Phone → phone
Opportunity Name → opportunity name

Try testing in GHL after the Zap trigger has been configured.
OR
Try configuring a Zap and turning the Zap ON.
Then test live in GHL.

+11Hey there
Let us know if that got it sorted, or if you're still seeing those placeholder values. Want to make sure you're all set! 🙂
Hi johndrahcir,
When a trigger only shows placeholder values like `first name` / `email`, I would treat it as a sample-record problem first, not a field-mapping problem.
The small test path I would use:
1. keep the Zap turned on,
2. create one dummy opportunity in GoHighLevel,
3. move that dummy opportunity into the pipeline stage that should trigger the Zap,
4. check Zap History for the live run,
5. use that previous live run as the trigger test record before mapping later steps.
That should tell you whether the GoHighLevel trigger can emit real data at runtime and whether only the editor sample is stale. No CRM credentials or real customer records are needed for the first pass; a dummy opportunity and the redacted field names are enough.
