Issuing certificates can significantly enhance the experience of your event participants, giving them a tangible proof of their achievement. Whether you’re running an online course, an offline workshop, or a sales event, certificates can boost participants’ pride and accomplishment. In this blog, we’ll walk you through using GoHighLevel to create and manage both online and offline certificates, helping you streamline the process and ensure professional results.
Navigating to Certificate Creation
To start creating certificates in GoHighLevel:
- Log In to GoHighLevel:
- Begin by logging into your GoHighLevel account.
- Access the Certificates Section:
- Navigate to the ‘Memberships’ section on the left sidebar.
- Click on ‘Certificates’ at the top.
- Select ‘Add New’ to start creating a certificate.
Creating and Sending Your Certificate
You can choose between using a certificate template or creating one from scratch. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Select a Template:
- Choose a certificate template or select a blank certificate. For this example, we’ll use a template.
- Hit ‘Confirm’ to proceed.

- Rename your certificate (e.g., “Demo Certificate”) and hit ‘Save.’
- Prepare to Send the Certificate:
- Add the instructor’s name and the recipient’s email. If the recipient is already in your contacts, select them. If not, add a new contact by entering their details.
- Click ‘Submit’ to save the new contact.
Ensuring Certificate Accuracy Before Sending
Before sending out the certificate, ensure that all custom values are correctly populated to avoid blank fields:
- Check Custom Values:
- Ensure the contact name and other custom values are correctly entered. Missing values will result in placeholders like “Contact Name” appearing on the certificate, which looks unprofessional.
- Send the Certificate:
- Once verified, hit ‘Send’ at the bottom right corner.
- Confirm by clicking ‘Send Email.’
- You should see a success message indicating the certificate has been sent.
Checking the Certificate Arrival and Viewing
To confirm that the certificate has been received:
- Check the Recipient’s Email:
- Have the recipient check their email for the new certificate.
- They should see the certificate with options to view and download it.
Managing Issued Certificates and Utilizing New Features
After issuing certificates, you can manage and track them effectively:
- View Issued Certificates:
- Go back to the ‘Issued Certificates’ section to see all the certificates that have been sent.
- Utilize the new filters to search certificates by date or title for easy management.
