This week's HighLevel updates, explained for mortgage professionals. We cut through the noise and tell you what actually matters for your business, what you can ignore, and what to set up right now.
Not a huge volume of updates this week. but the ones that landed are serious game-changers.
From flexible dashboard filtering to smarter opportunity handling and another round of A2P compliance reminders, this week is about visibility, organization, and avoiding costly mistakes.
Let's get into it.
Exciting Dashboard Updates
What Changed:
You can now add "Quick Filters" to dashboards, letting users toggle views without rebuilding entire modules. Filters can be tied to calendar groups, users, or any other relevant data source.
Why It Matters for LOs:
Build dashboards that act like real-time command centers
Let team members view data relevant to their own pipelines
Spot issues and wins faster with less dashboard clutter
Tip: Use "Logged-in User" as the default view so everyone sees their own metrics without needing custom dashboards.
New Chat Widget Features
What Changed:
HighLevel's chat widget now offers an all-in-one experience, combining SMS, email, and WhatsApp options into a single chat view.
Why It Matters for LOs:
Offers flexibility to clients on how they want to engage
Future-proofs your chat interface as channels expand
Helps create a cleaner client experience
Note: This is more relevant for users doing high-volume digital support. For mortgage pros, it may be niche. but worth exploring.
Reputation Management Enhancements
What Changed:
You can now choose email as a delivery method for review requests and build the email in the Email Builder directly within the Reputation tab.
Why It Matters for LOs:
More control over how review requests look and feel
Potential to use branded templates vs. default text
Easier to connect review automation with your marketing systems
Tip: Templates must be built from scratch in this area (can't yet pull in global email templates). Expect this to improve.
Opportunities in Workflows
What Changed:
HighLevel has separated "Create" and "Update" Opportunity actions, and added the ability to search ("Find") opportunities inside workflows.
Why It Matters for LOs:
Prevents duplicate opportunities
Enables more precise pipeline logic (e.g., update only if loan # exists)
Gives teams clearer control over automation behavior
Tip: If you see a deprecation warning on "Create/Update Opportunity," switch to the new split actions for future workflows.
A2P Compliance Warning
What Changed:
HighLevel continues tightening enforcement around A2P compliance. Users now see clearer reminders to separate marketing and transactional consent in form opt-ins.
Why It Matters for LOs:
Better A2P submission success rates
Fewer rejected applications = less wasted time and fees
Mortgage industry reps are under stricter scrutiny
Tip: Always include two opt-in boxes (marketing + transactional). This is no longer a "nice to have". it's becoming a requirement.
Why These Updates Matter for Mortgage Pros
This week's updates might not flood your CRM with new features, but they bring real structure to how you handle reporting, client reviews, and pipeline automation. And with A2P becoming a moving target, this is your reminder to stay ahead of the red tape.
