How do you capture partial form submissions in a 2-step GoHighLevel funnel?

Answer: Split long 8-field forms into a 3-field Step 1 (First Name, Mobile Phone, Service Type) in Sites > Forms and Step 2 (Address & Calendar), then trigger a 10 minute Goal Event workflow to text anyone who stops after Step 1.

Optimize our GoHighLevel mobile funnel and build an Abandoned Step-1 Recovery workflow:
1. Inspect the primary landing page form and reduce Step 1 to 3 core fields (First Name, Phone, Service Option) so mobile visitors convert in under 15 seconds.
2. Create an Abandonment Recovery workflow triggered on Step 1 Form Submitted that waits 10 minutes.
3. Add a Goal Event for Step 2 Calendar Booked: if they booked, exit cleanly; if they abandoned on Step 2, send a helpful SMS offering to finish the quote by text.
Cause
  • Asking mobile visitors on paid Meta or Google ads to fill out 8 or 9 fields on one screen causes over 70% of cell-phone visitors to close the tab before hitting submit.
GoHighLevel Configuration
  • Keep Step 1 of your HighLevel funnel to 3 quick fields so the contact is saved immediately, redirect to Step 2 for the calendar/address
  • and use a 10-minute workflow wait + Goal Event to follow up via SMS if Step 2 isn't completed.
