Drip Mode helps you control how contacts move through your workflow by sending them in small batches. This way, your system stays fast, your messages get delivered better, and nothing feels rushed.

Key Takeaways

Drip Mode sends contacts in smaller batches instead of all at once. This prevents your system from crashing.
Choosing the right time gaps between batches is important. Short intervals are great for fast tasks, while longer ones work better for big campaigns.
Always test your setup with a few contacts first. This way, you can fix any problems before your full list starts moving through the workflow.
Start with a small batch size and adjust based on how things go. Keep an eye on your results and tweak your setup as needed.

How Does the Drip Mode Work?

The Drip Mode helps you manage how fast contacts move through a workflow. Instead of pushing everyone through at the same time, it sends them in smaller groups.

These groups are spaced out over time, so your system stays stable and your messages have a better chance of being seen.

Here are the key benefits of drip Mode in GoHighLevel (GHL)

Controlled Execution: It stops the system from getting flooded by only allowing a few contacts to move at once.
Smart Use of Resources: It helps you stay under limits for messages and API calls. Your server runs better too.
Better Engagement: Spreading out your messages helps avoid spam filters. People are more likely to open and respond.
Custom Timing: You can choose how many people go at a time and how often they move. Minutes, hours, or even days – you are in charge.

Pro Tip

Do not stack too many Drip Actions close together. Give each one room to breathe. Stacking too many can make your workflow harder to manage.
