🧠 Top 10 FAQ — Contacts & Conversations

Q1 – How do I keep my contact list organized without spreadsheets?
A: Use Smart Lists with filters like “No Reply in 7 Days” or “Booked a Call.” Tag contacts by campaign or source to segment them easily.

Q2 – Can I see where each lead came from automatically?
A: Yes. Add a Lead Source custom field or use funnel tracking. GoHighLevel records the origin (form, ad, chat, etc.) on creation.

Q3 – What’s the benefit of linking multiple contacts to one company?
A: The Company view gives a B2B snapshot—who’s decision-maker, who handles billing—so you can tailor outreach accurately.

Q4 – How do I stop missing messages from different channels?
A: The Conversations Inbox merges email, SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and chat widgets into one thread with real-time alerts.

Q5 – Can I assign chats to my team?
A: Yes. Each conversation can be assigned to a user or pipeline owner. This keeps accountability clear across departments.

Q6 – What happens if I accidentally delete a contact?
A: The Contacts Restore option recovers deleted profiles, notes, and message history instantly—no manual rebuild required.

Q7 – How do I personalize outreach without wasting time?
A: Use custom fields (name, service type, city) in bulk emails or texts. GoHighLevel auto-fills them to keep messages personal yet automated.

Q8 – How can I track engagement quality?
A: Monitor last activity and response rates directly in Smart Lists. Automate follow-ups to re-engage cold leads after set timeframes.

Q9 – What’s the quickest way to import existing clients?
A: Upload a CSV with mapped fields (name, phone, email, tags). The system validates duplicates and merges records cleanly.

Q10 – How can agencies use CRM data for retention?
A: Create segments like “Clients expiring in 30 days” and automate renewal offers or review requests. It keeps churn low and communication proactive.
