Go High Level Multiple Domain Tutorial: How to Clone Funnels for Cold Email (2025)

Go High Level (GHL) is an all-in-one marketing automation platform that enables users to create and manage funnels, automations, and more. For businesses looking to run cold email campaigns effectively, setting up multiple domains and cloning funnels to target various segments or markets is crucial. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through how to clone funnels for cold email marketing and manage multiple domains in Go High Level.

Prerequisites
Before diving into the process, ensure you have:

A Go High Level account.

Multiple domains registered (either for yourself or your clients).

Basic understanding of funnels and cold email campaigns.

An active cold email system (such as an SMTP provider) set up in Go High Level.

Step 1: Set Up Multiple Domains in Go High Level
The first step in this process is ensuring your Go High Level account can send emails from multiple domains. This setup is essential to prevent issues with deliverability and to build trust with your audience. Here's how to do it:

Log in to Go High Level: Open your GHL dashboard.

Navigate to Settings: From the left sidebar, click on Settings.

Domains: In the settings menu, find Domains and click it.

Add a New Domain: To add a new domain, click the Add Domain button. Here, you'll enter the domain name you wish to use. You can add several domains here, which will allow you to send emails from them.

You'll need to connect your domain to Go High Level's email system by verifying ownership. This is done by adding specific DNS records (TXT or MX records) provided by Go High Level to your domain's DNS settings (usually done in your domain registrar's control panel).

Verify the Domain: Once you've added the domain, Go High Level will guide you through verifying it. This typically involves adding TXT or MX records to your DNS configuration. Once the records are verified, your domain will be live for sending emails.

Set Up Email for Each Domain: Go High Level lets you specify an email for each domain. This can be helpful if you want to use unique email addresses for different funnels.

Step 2: Clone Funnels for Cold Email Campaigns
After setting up multiple domains, you can now clone funnels that you've already created or built new ones specifically for your cold email campaigns. The idea is to separate your funnels by domain to ensure your cold emails appear to come from unique sources, which can improve email deliverability.

Go to the Funnel Section: On the Go High Level dashboard, click on Funnels in the left sidebar.

Choose a Funnel to Clone: Find the funnel you want to clone. You can either create a new funnel or use an existing one that's already designed for email collection, lead generation, or landing page purposes.

If you're creating a cold email campaign funnel, make sure it's simple and optimized for conversions. You can design a landing page with a lead magnet (e.g., free report, checklist) and integrate email capture forms.

Click on the Funnel: Once you select the funnel, click on it to open its settings.

Clone the Funnel: To clone the funnel, click on the Three-Dots Menu in the top right of the funnel editor screen. From there, select Clone Funnel.

A dialog box will appear asking you to name the new funnel. Choose a name that reflects the new campaign or domain you're targeting.

Modify the Funnel as Needed: You now have a clone of your original funnel. Make edits based on the new cold email campaign's needs. You can customize the landing page, add new lead forms, change call-to-action buttons, etc.

Step 3: Assign Funnels to Different Domains
Now that you have cloned your funnels, it's time to assign them to different domains. This is crucial for cold email outreach to ensure each domain you're sending emails from appears unique and legitimate to recipients.

Navigate to Funnel Settings: Inside your cloned funnel, go to the Settings tab.

Assign Domain to Funnel: Scroll down to the Domain section. Here, you can choose which domain the funnel will be associated with. Select the domain you added earlier.

This will allow you to customize the funnel for a particular audience or email list, and it ensures the emails associated with the funnel are sent from the correct domain.

Repeat for Other Funnels: If you have multiple funnels for different domains, repeat the process for each one.

Step 4: Set Up Cold Email Automation
With the funnel cloned and assigned to the appropriate domain, it's time to set up automation for cold emailing. Here's how you can create an automated cold email sequence in Go High Level:

Navigate to the Automation Tab: In the Go High Level dashboard, click on Automation in the sidebar.

Create a New Workflow: Click on Create Workflow and choose to start from scratch or use a template.

A cold email workflow generally consists of sending the first email in the sequence, followed by follow-up emails at intervals (e.g., 3 days later, 7 days later). Make sure your subject lines and content are optimized for cold outreach.

Set Up Triggers: The trigger for your cold email automation will often be a form submission or a lead being added to your CRM. For instance, you could use a Form Submitted trigger that occurs when someone enters their email on your funnel page.

Create Your Email Sequence: Under the workflow, create emails with the appropriate content for each stage of your cold email campaign. Use dynamic fields (like the contact's name) to personalize the emails.

It's recommended to space out your cold emails over several days to avoid being flagged as spam.

Connect Email to SMTP: Make sure that the email domain you're using for this campaign is connected to your SMTP service in Go High Level so emails are delivered correctly.

Step 5: Track Results and Optimize
Once your cold email campaign is live, it's crucial to track the performance of each funnel and email sequence. Go High Level provides robust analytics to measure open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and more.

Monitor Funnel Performance: In the Funnels section, you can see data about how well each funnel is converting. Track which funnels perform best with your cold email audience and optimize accordingly.

Optimize Email Sequences: Review the performance of your cold email campaigns by checking open rates and responses. Adjust your subject lines, email content, and frequency based on feedback and results.

Tips for Running Effective Cold Email Campaigns with Multiple Domains
Avoid Overuse of One Domain: Don't use the same domain for too many cold email campaigns to avoid triggering spam filters. Use your multiple domains strategically.

Warm Up Your Email Domains: Before sending cold emails at scale, warm up your email domain by gradually increasing the number of emails sent. This improves deliverability.

Use Clean Email Lists: Ensure your email lists are clean and targeted to avoid high bounce rates.

A/B Testing: Regularly test subject lines, email copy, and CTAs to identify what resonates best with your audience.
