Contacts

We have improved the advanced filtering for smartlists to bring better consistency, clarity, and standardization. Earlier, filters had inconsistent operators across different data types and some commonly expected operators were missing. We have standardized how operators behave across date, numeric, and string filters while cleaning up existing logic. This update also resolves a long-standing issue related to future date filtering. The goal is to standardize filter behavior across data types while improving usability and reducing confusion for users.

Added commonly requested operators for date filters: today, tomorrow, yesterday, this week, this quarter, this year, before date, and after date to the existing set of date operators

2

Standardized string filter operators to ensure consistent behavior across fields

4

Introduced DND as a suffix for SMS, email, call, WhatsApp, etc., making communication-related filtering easier.

5

Renamed Pipeline filters -> Opportunity to better align with terminology commonly used and understood by our customers.

6

Enhanced email and WhatsApp status operators to better reflect the underlying status criteria and cover additional matching scenarios.

7

Improved filtering and operators for Numeric fields - added more options.

๐Ÿ‘€ Whatโ€™s New?

  • Added Advanced Preview support for Meta ads created through HighLevel Ad Manager, enabling users to view how their ad appears across multiple placements such as Feed, Stories, Reels amongst others.

  • Introduced a Shareable Preview Link option that allows users to generate and copy a preview link for the ad directly from the preview panel once the campaign is published.

๐Ÿ‘ท How It Works:

  1. Create and publish a Meta ad in HighLevel Ad Manager.

  2. In the Preview section, click the Advanced Preview icon to open the ad preview across placements.

  1. Click the link icon next to Advanced Preview to generate a shareable preview link.

  1. The link is automatically copied to the clipboard.

  1. Opening the link loads the Meta-hosted preview interface, showing how the ad appears across the configured placements.

๐ŸŒŸ Why It Matters:

  • Allows advertisers to verify how ads render across placements after publishing.

  • Makes it easier to share a real preview of the ad with teammates or stakeholders

    for review or collaboration.

  • Reduces dependency on Ads Manager access just to view how the ad appears.

๐Ÿ“ Notes:

  1. The shareable preview link is only available for published campaigns. It is not generated for draft or paused ads.

  2. Access to the preview follows Metaโ€™s permission model, meaning only users with appropriate access to the ad account can view the ad preview.

  3. If a placement does not support the uploaded creative format, the relevant Meta error message is displayed in the preview to indicate why the ad cannot render for that placement.

Calendar

๐Ÿงญ Overview

Weโ€™ve enhanced the Bulk Edit Availability experience to make multi-user schedule updates clearer, safer, and more structured.

With improved visibility into weekly and date-specific hours โ€” along with smarter save logic โ€” managing availability for multiple team members is now more predictable and controlled.

๐Ÿš€ Whatโ€™s New

โš ๏ธ Clear Impact Intimation for Weekly Hours

When editing Weekly hours in Bulk Edit mode, an informational banner now appears to indicate that changes will apply to all selected users.

This ensures you understand the impact before saving.

๐Ÿ“… Structured View of Date-Specific Hours

Date-specific hours are now displayed in a grouped-by-date format across all selected users.

For each date, you can:

  • See how many users have availability set

  • View individual user time blocks under that date

  • Edit or delete entries per user

This gives full visibility into schedule exceptions before making changes.

Unified view

โž• Add Date-Specific Hours in Bulk

When adding new date-specific hours:

  • The time block automatically applies to all selected users

  • You can later edit or remove entries individually if needed

Screenshot 2026-03-10 at 11

๐Ÿ’พ Smarter Save Logic

Save behavior is now section-specific:

  • Updating Weekly Hours only modifies weekly schedules

  • Updating Date-Specific Hours only modifies date exceptions

This prevents accidental schedule loss during bulk edits.

๐Ÿงฉ How to Use

  • Go to *Calendars โ†’ Calendar Settings โ†’ Edit a Calendar โ†’ Availability* tab

  • Click Bulk edit

  • Select team members and click on Edit hours

  • Modify Weekly or Date-Specific Hours

  • Click Save Changes

  • Only the edited section will be updated.

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Matters

  • Reduces accidental schedule overrides

  • Improves clarity when managing multiple users

  • Provides structured visibility into date exceptions

  • Makes bulk availability updates safer and faster

Reputation

Weโ€™ve revamped how Review Links are configured across Reputation to make the process faster, more intuitive, and frictionless โ€” so you can get set up in under a minute.

โœจ Whatโ€™s New

1. Automatic Review Link Setup

Once a page is connected (e.g., GBP), your Review Link is set automatically.

For GBP:

  • If only one page is connected โ†’ itโ€™s set as default.

  • If multiple pages are connected โ†’ the first page is selected by default.

  • No manual setup required in most cases.

2. Smart Dashboard Notifications

Clear status messaging on the dashboard:

1. If Review Link is set:

Screenshot 2026-03-09 at 10

2. If Review Link is not set:

Screenshot 2026-03-09 at 11

Helps users instantly know what action to take.

3. Setup CTAs Across Key Pages

Weโ€™ve added contextual CTAs to guide users:

Requests Page:

โ€œConfigure Review Linkโ€ CTA to configure link before sending requests.

Screenshot 2026-03-09 at 10

4. Review Link Access While Sending Requests

  • When sending a Review Request:

  • Users can now view the current Review Link

  • Option to override or change the link instantly

Screenshot 2026-03-09 at 10

Makes it easier to customise review destinations per request.

5. Configure Review Link in Widgets

Added the ability to:

  • View, Select and Override Review Links directly inside the Review Widget Page

  • Ensures widgets reflect the correct review destination.

Screenshot 2026-03-09 at 10

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Matters:

  • Review Links are auto-configured

  • Clear status indicators guide users

  • Setup is contextual, fast, and self-explanatory

  • Most users can complete setup in under 1 minute

๐Ÿ“ Where Youโ€™ll See This

  • Reputation Dashboard

  • Requests Page

  • Reviews Page

  • Review Widgets

  • Send Review Request Modal

Automations

What's New

The Merge Contact action is a dedicated workflow action that automatically identifies and merges duplicate contacts directly within your workflows -eliminating the need for manual cleanup from the contacts page.

Screenshot 2026-03-10 at 5
Screenshot 2026-03-10 at 5

Match By Options -Choose how duplicates are identified:

  • Email: Matches contacts sharing the same email address

  • Phone Number: Matches contacts sharing the same phone number

  • Email and Phone Number: Matches only when both email and phone number are identical

Smart Merge Logic- The system always preserves the older contact record and merges the newer duplicate into it, ensuring no historical data is lost.

Full Execution Visibility-Every merge is logged in Execution Logs with detailed metadata, including which contacts were matched, which record was preserved, and the matching criteria used.

How to Use

  1. Add the Merge Contact action to your workflow.

  2. Select your preferred Match By criteria (Email, Phone Number, or both).

  3. The action handles detection and merging automatically when the workflow runs.

Why This Matters

Duplicate contacts create noise in your CRM and can lead to redundant communications or inaccurate reporting. Previously, merging duplicates required manually navigating to the contacts page to find and resolve them one by one. With the Merge Contact action, deduplication is now fully automated within your workflows - keeping your contact list clean, unified, and accurate without any manual effort.

Courses & Communities

Weโ€™ve made badge issuance automatic at the start of every course โ€” welcoming learners from day one without any extra setup.

โœจ Whatโ€™s New?

  • Every new course now includes a pre-attached Welcome Badge.

  • The badge is automatically issued when a learner enrolls for the first time.

  • Creators can turn it off anytime by switching the badge to Draft.

  • Five curated Welcome Badge templates are available for course enrolments.

  • Only these five templates appear in the Welcome Badge section.

  • Other badge templates are hidden in this view to keep things simple and focused.

โœ… Why It Matters?

  • Learners feel recognized immediately upon joining.

  • Badge adoption increases automatically without extra effort.

  • The experience stays clean and easy for creators.

Calendar

๐Ÿงญ Overview

Weโ€™ve improved appointment visibility for followers to support smoother collaboration across teams.

Previously, only the assigned user could view a contactโ€™s appointments. With this update, followers can now also view appointments for the contacts they follow โ€” provided Assigned Data visibility and the appropriate calendar permissions are enabled.

โœ… Whatโ€™s New

  • Followers can now view appointments for contacts they follow.

  • Visibility now aligns between assigned users and followers.

  • When a userโ€™s data visibility is restricted to only assigned records, they can now also see appointments for contacts they follow.

๐Ÿ” Permission-Based Behavior

  • Followers must have View appointments, calendars & groups permission to see appointments.

  • Without Manage appointments, followers can view but cannot edit or delete appointments.

  • With Manage appointments, followers can edit and manage appointments accordingly.

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Matters

  • Improves collaboration between team members working on the same contacts.

  • Eliminates confusion when followers couldnโ€™t see relevant appointments.

  • Aligns visibility behavior with real-world team workflows.

  • Ensures restricted access users still have the context they need when following a contact.

Dashboards and Reporting

๐Ÿš€ Overview

Weโ€™ve enhanced dashboards and custom reports to persist date ranges and filter selections per user.

The system now remembers the date range and filters you select. When you refresh the page or return later, your selections remain exactly as you left them.

โœจ Whatโ€™s New

Dashboard Updates

โ€ข Dashboard date range now saves automatically per user

โ€ข Widget dropdown values now persist based on user selection (no longer defaulting to the first pipeline value)

โ€ข Selected values remain saved until manually changed

โ€ข AI Summary now reflects the selected pipeline instead of always using the first pipeline in the dropdown

โ€ข If a saved filter (such as a pipeline) is deleted, we automatically select the first available option

โ€ข Duplicated dashboards retain relevant date and filter settings

โ€ข Introduced comparison date range on a dashboard level date filter - which will also be applicable to general widgets

โ€ข Widget level comparison will take preference over dashboard level if explicitly mentioned

Custom Reports Updates

โ€ข Custom reports now follow the same persistence logic as dashboards

โ€ข Dropdown values are saved for all users when the report creator clicks โ€œSaveโ€

โ€ข Email sharing sends a snapshot of the report values at the time of email generation

โ€ข Subsequent report changes do not impact already sent emails

โ€ข Introduced comparison date range for custom report builder - which will also be applicable to general widgets

โ€ข For custom report builder, widget level comparison will take preference over report level if explicitly mentioned

๐Ÿ“ Important Notes

โ€ข Widget-level date settings can still differ from the dashboard date

โ€ข Snapshot restores do not copy user-specific preferences

๐Ÿ’ก Why This Matters

You no longer need to reset filters every time you open a dashboard. Your reports stay consistent, and previously sent emails wonโ€™t change even if you update filters later.

New

CRM

Weโ€™re excited to introduce Notes for Custom Objects, a powerful new feature that lets you create and manage notes directly on your Custom Object records.

---

โ“ Why This Feature?

You can now capture key details, discussions, and updates inside any Custom Object record, so your teams always have the full picture right where they need it.

This brings greater clarity and efficiency to your workflow by keeping all relevant notes tied to their specific data entities and not scattered across unrelated records.

---

โœจ Whatโ€™s New?

  • Custom Object Record Specific Notes

Create and view notes directly inside Custom Object records. Notes stay linked to that specific object for better organisation and context.

  • Flexible Associations

Link notes across records: associate any existing or new note from a Contact or Opportunity to a related Custom Object record

  • Unified Experience

Notes for Custom Objects share the same interface and editor youโ€™re already familiar with from Contacts and Opportunities.

  • Smart Filtering & Search

Quickly locate notes across objects using filters by entity, author, or keywords โ€” making it easier to retrieve the right information instantly.

---

๐Ÿ”ง How to Use

  1. Open Custom Objects โ†’ open any record โ†’ go to Notes โ†’ add a note

image
  1. Or open a Contact / Opportunity note โ†’ associate it to the related Custom Object record

---

๐Ÿค Why It Matters

  • Keep important context on the record youโ€™re actually managing (not just on Contacts)

  • Find notes faster with Search + Filters/Sorting

  • Avoid copy/pasting updatesโ€”associate the same note to the Custom Object record for shared visibility
