End-to-End Automation System for Multi-Venue Event Company
A fully automated event management system built to streamline lead generation, booking, communication, staffing, and post-event operations for a multi-venue company in New York.
Project Goals
and Objectives
A New York–based event management company operating multiple venues required a centralized automation system to manage lead capture, communication, bookings, staffing, and reporting. The manual workflow caused delays, missed opportunities, and operational inefficiencies. Setrick designed and implemented a scalable automation engine using GoHighLevel with 30–40 custom workflows, transforming the entire lifecycle from lead generation to post-event analytics.
Operational Challenges Before Automation

Disconnected Communication
Internal teams and clients communicated through fragmented channels, causing confusion.
Manual Staff Coordination
Event staffing required manual assignment and coordination for each event.
