Your new built-in guide for understanding Event Calendar behavior at a glance.
Want to stop guessing how GoHighLevel calendars behave? The latest update puts Event Calendar key behaviors right in front of you — so you know exactly what you’re working with before you build anything. The team here at GHL Growth Garage is pumped about this one because it eliminates confusion, saves time, and helps users avoid mistakes that used to sneak up on them.
This update adds a simple but powerful improvement:
A clear message that appears when creating or editing Event Calendars, along with a tooltip that explains their functional differences. It’s small, yes — but it makes the whole system easier to understand and much easier to use. Let’s break it down.
You save time, avoid confusion, and build cleaner workflows because you know exactly what your Event Calendar can—and cannot—do upfront.
Quick Summary – Event Calendar Key Behavior
GoHighLevel has added a new message inside Event Calendar setup that highlights important functional differences. When you select the Event Calendar type, you’ll now see a label and an info icon that explains how this calendar works compared to a standard calendar.
This update gives users clear expectations before they build or edit an Event Calendar. It helps prevent confusion, reduces setup errors, and makes it easier to understand how Event Calendars behave when syncing, assigning users, or integrating with workflows.
What’s New?
Event Calendars already serve a special purpose inside GoHighLevel — they’re built for one-off events, workshops, webinars, open houses, trainings, and appointments that don’t follow normal scheduling rules.
But here’s the problem:
A lot of users jumped in expecting them to work exactly like Standard Calendars… and then things got messy.
Automate marketing, manage leads, and grow faster with GoHighLevel.
GoHighLevel just fixed that.
Here’s what’s been added:
- A label that says “This calendar type has key differences.”
- An info icon you can hover over to see a full list of those differences.
- Quick clarity on what Event Calendars can and cannot do.
- Fewer surprises when syncing, assigning users, or automating around events.
This means you get full transparency before you hit “Save.”
Why This Matters to You
This update isn’t just about being helpful — it’s about eliminating frustration.
Here’s what you gain:
- No more guesswork about how Event Calendars behave.
- No more missed features because you didn’t know what was different.
- Fewer support headaches (seriously… this one’s huge).
- More confident setup when building event workflows for yourself or for clients.
Who benefits the most?
- Agencies running webinars, live events, or training sessions
- VAs who build calendars for clients
- Marketers who need clean workflows
- Business owners who rely on event-based lead generation
If you’ve ever set up a calendar only to realize later it didn’t sync the way you expected… this solves that.
