"Source Mode" for Workflows (The Visual <-> Code Toggle)
A
Andrew Herrmann
IMAGINE THIS:
You copy your entire GHL Workflow, paste it into ChatGPT, say "Find the logic error and fix it," and then paste the code right back into HighLevel. Done.
We need a "SOURCE MODE" Toggle.
THE CONCEPT
Add a simple toggle switch at the top of the Workflow Builder: [ VISUAL VIEW | CODE VIEW ]
*
Visual View:
The Drag-and-Drop builder we know and love (unchanged).*
Code View:
Displays the workflow as raw, editable JSON. WHY WE NEED THIS (The "Viral" Use Cases)
- 🤖 TRUE AI COMPATIBILITY
Right now, Workflows are a "Black Box" to AI. If we have Source Mode, we can use ChatGPT/Claude to build, debug, and optimize complex GHL automations in seconds.
- ⚡ CTRL+F "BULK EDITING"
Need to change a specific tag or custom field across 50 different action steps? In Visual Mode, that takes an hour of clicking. In Code Mode, it takes 5 seconds: "Find and Replace All."
- đź“‹ COPY/PASTE "MICRO-SNAPSHOTS"
Snapshots are great for entire setups, but sometimes you just want to copy ONE complex "If/Else" branch from Client A to Client B. Source Mode lets you copy the code snippet and paste it anywhere, instantly.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This does NOT replace Snapshots or the Visual Builder. It is purely an
additional view
for power users, agencies, and developers who need speed and precision. BUSINESS CASE FOR HIGHLEVEL (Why Build This?)
*
LOWER SUPPORT COSTS:
When a workflow breaks, users can send support the "Code Snippet" instead of 20 screenshots. Errors can be spotted instantly.*
ENTERPRISE ADOPTION:
Big agencies need version control (GitHub). This allows us to back up workflows as code.*
ECOSYSTEM GROWTH:
This allows the community to build and sell "Workflow Snippets" that are easy to share and install.We love the Visual Builder. Now, let us look under the hood. Give us the Toggle!
