Highlevel connection

Highlevel node requires email address for ‘Create or Update’ contact. Is there a way to change this so it can use just the phone number?

Information on your n8n setup

  • Running n8n via n8n cloud

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

The Highlevel API requires email for contact creation - this is an API limitation, not an n8n issue,

  1. Create a dummy email using phone numbers:
Add a Function node before Highlevel:
return {
  json: {
    ...item.json,
    email: item.json.phone + '@placeholder.com'
  }
}
  1. Try the “HTTP Request” node to directly use the Highlevel API with phone-only lookup:
POST https://api.highlevel.com/api/contacts/lookup
Body: {"phone": "{{$json.phone}}"}

This bypasses the n8n node’s validation requirements.
