Part 1: Leads that go cold

1

AI agents that text new leads first LABS

The AI agent texts new leads and missed calls first, then tries to book them.

WhereSettings > Labs (look for the Conversation AI Outbound card); AI Agents > Conversation AI > Deploy > Outbound > Triggers

Tip: SMS only for now; needs a sending number with texting registration done.

2

AI campaigns that wake up old leads LABS

Pick an old list and the AI writes each person a first message from their history.

WhereContacts > AI Campaign

Tip: Contacts on Do Not Disturb are skipped.

3

Build an AI agent just by describing it LABS

Describe the agent you want, or start from a template, and HighLevel sets it up.

WhereSettings > Labs > Conversation AI: Build with AI; AI Agents > Conversation AI > Create Agent > Create with AI

Tip: Saving doesn't turn it on; outbound is a separate step.

4

A visual flow builder for Conversation AI

One chatbot routes each conversation to the right specialist agent, with branches and waits.

WhereAI Agents > Conversation AI > Create Bot > Flow Based Builder

Tip: Incoming conversations only; turn it on under Deploy.

5

Date, time and time zone awareness

The agent understands today and tomorrow, so it stops offering times that already passed.

WhereAgent settings; Settings > Labs > Advanced Time Zone Support

Tip: Advanced Time Zone Support is its own Labs switch.

Part 2: AI agents that forget

6

Agents that remember and learn LABS

Managed agents remember facts about each person and save the procedures they learn.

WhereSettings > Labs (look for the Managed Agents memory card); Agent Studio > Managed Agents > agent > Memory

Tip: Memory is per person and per agent, not shared.

7

Waits and scheduled follow-ups

The agent waits minutes or days, then follows up on its own, even around appointments.

WhereAgent Studio > Managed Agents > agent > Edit agent

Tip: Waits run 5 minutes to 30 days; waiting is free.

8

Start agents from webhooks

Another app can start your agent by sending data to a unique webhook URL.

WhereAgent > Triggers > Add trigger > Inbound webhook

Tip: Works only while the agent is published.

9

Turn n8n workflows into agents BETA

Import an n8n workflow export and get a draft managed agent that mirrors its logic.

WhereAgent Studio > Managed Agents > Import from > n8n

Tip: Credentials and API keys don't come over; reconnect your apps.

10

Agents that browse the web and handle files

Give an agent its own computer to browse sites, manage files and run scripts.

WhereAgent > Capabilities > Computer

Tip: Payments and deletions always need your approval.

Part 3: Missed calls and website chat

11

Voice AI answers WhatsApp calls

Voice AI picks up incoming WhatsApp calls, as the main receiver or as a backup.

WhereSettings > WhatsApp > Calling

Tip: Incoming calls only; WhatsApp calling must be on the number.

12

WhatsApp call recording and transcripts

Record WhatsApp calls and get speaker-labeled transcripts in Conversations.

WhereSettings > WhatsApp > Calling > Recording and transcription

Tip: Free for now; Meta may charge later. Get consent first.

13

Rebuilt calling in the mobile app

Play recordings, filter missed calls, add notes and transfer calls from your phone.

WhereMobile app > Call Dialer > Recents

14

Video avatars in the chat widget

A short looping video next to your chat button replaces the plain text prompt.

WhereSites > Chat Widget > Style > Appearances > Enable Video avatar

Tip: MP4 or WebM, up to 60 seconds and 25 MB.

15

Chat widget analytics

See how many visitors open your chat and turn into leads.

WhereSites > Chat Widget > Insights

Tip: Click any number to see the records behind it.

Part 4: Emails landing in spam

16

A spam check before you send

Scan a campaign's content, sender setup and reputation for spam risks before it goes out.

WhereMarketing > Emails > Campaigns > Send or schedule > Check now

Tip: A clean result doesn't guarantee the inbox.

17

Automatic email domain warm-up BETA

HighLevel's warm-up mailboxes email each other and slowly ramp up, so a new domain builds a good reputation.

WhereEmail Services > Dedicated Domain and IP > Domain Warm-Up

Tip: Beta by request; your domain needs a verified SSL certificate.

18

Inbox Preview in real email apps LABS

See how your email looks in apps like Gmail and Outlook before you send.

WhereSettings > Labs > Inbox Preview; email builder > Inbox preview

Tip: Each email app you pick uses one preview.

19

AI email editor and sequences LABS

Describe an email and AI builds it from your brand colors, or writes a whole sequence.

WhereMarketing > Emails > Create with AI; Email sequences > Create with AI

Tip: Nothing sends until you confirm the audience and start time.

20

A/B testing in workflows

Split new contacts across workflow paths and send everyone new down the winner.

WhereAutomation > Workflows > Add action > A/B Test

Tip: 2 to 10 paths; ties go to the first path.

Part 5: Social, reviews and your inbox

21

Social comments in Conversations

Comments on your Social Planner posts land in your inbox with the post for context.

WhereMarketing > Social Planner > Settings > Comments

Tip: Only posts made through Social Planner sync.

22

More control over the reviews AI

Set the reviews AI's brand voice and guardrails, and hold sensitive reviews for approval.

WhereReputation > Settings > Reviews AI

Tip: Your role needs the Manage Reviews AI Agents permission.

23

TikTok lead ads in Ad Manager

Build and run TikTok lead generation campaigns from inside HighLevel.

WhereAd Manager > Create Campaign > TikTok

Tip: Your instant form must already exist in TikTok Ads Manager.

26

AI search visibility score LABS

Scores out of 100 how easily ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini can find a business.

WhereSettings > Labs (look for the AI search visibility card); Marketing > Prospecting > Marketing Audit Report

Tip: A good score doesn't guarantee AI will recommend the business.

27

Meeting Room video calls

Video calls inside HighLevel with transcripts, AI summaries and breakout rooms.

WhereMeeting Room > My room; Calendars > meeting location > Meeting Room

Tip: Turn on transcription during the meeting; recording alone won't create one.

28

QR codes with scan limits and expiry

Set a scan limit or an expiry date on a dynamic QR code without reprinting it.

WhereSites > QR Codes > Create QR Code

Tip: Duration counts from when you create the code.

29

Paid tiers for communities

Offer several paid plans in one community, each with its own channels, events and courses.

WhereMemberships > Communities > Settings > Subscriptions > Add plan

Tip: Turning on 'Make this community free' pauses paid plans.
