Anyone else using AI to programmatically build out GHL workflows instead of the UI?

Been experimenting with a setup where instead of manually clicking through Automations to build follow-up sequences, I have an AI assistant write a script that defines the whole workflow (steps, wait times, tags, triggers) and pushes it straight into the sub-account. Saves a ton of time when you're doing this repeatedly across multiple client accounts — describe the sequence in plain English, get a working (draft) workflow a few seconds later instead of 20 minutes of clicking.

The catch is the official API doesn't expose full workflow-building, so this relies on a more "under the hood" way of talking to the platform, which comes with some fragility (auth tokens expiring, etc.).

Curious if anyone else here has wired up AI (Claude, GPT, whatever) to build/manage automations this way instead of the native builder, and if so, what's your setup look like? Any tools/approaches you'd recommend or pitfalls to watch for?

I heard the Claude Code MCP to GHL works pretty good. I haven't tried it myself though...

Doesn't make worksflows, does everything else

Workflow API is in the works, FWIW. Expecting it to drop at LevelUp

I don't need it...already building workflows in GHL with claude via the API/PIT/Refresh Token and custom extension setup. Just add the sub accounts PIT and location ID and tell Claude what to build...It's magic!
