HighLevel opens a Workflows API and lets Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor build workflows over MCP

On October 28, 2026, HighLevel announced two private-beta releases. The Workflows API (version v3) creates, reads, updates, validates, publishes, unpublishes, searches, and deletes workflows, lists every trigger and action available in a sub-account, and returns execution logs and statistics such as enrollments, completions, and failures per step. Access uses a Private Integration token with new workflow scopes, and sub-accounts not yet enabled receive a WORKFLOW_API_NOT_ENABLED_FOR_LOCATION error.

The same day, HighLevel added workflows to its LeadConnector MCP server. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients can find and read workflows, explain which steps failed and for whom, count enrollments by hour, day, or week, and draft or publish workflows from a plain-language description. New workflows are saved as drafts, publishing is a separate request, and each request works in one sub-account; agency-wide connections are still rolling out.

HighLevel lists several cautions. An update replaces the whole workflow, so you should read it first and send back that version. Editing a published workflow sets it to draft, which turns off its triggers and pauses contacts inside it. Deleting a workflow is permanent and stops everyone currently enrolled. Logs cover up to 30 days per request and go back 60 days, and they exclude builder test runs.
