Conversations
Merge Live Chat contacts
Users can now merge two different visitor contacts (contacts created from Live Chat, Facebook or Instagram).
Payments
Delete Payment Links
What’s New?
Users can delete payment links directly from the payment links dashboard. The purpose of this feature is to remove the payment links from the dashboard which are no longer useful for the business users.
Once deleted the payment links won’t be accessible to the end user for capturing payments and shows up on a 404 page. All payment links that are deleted from the system will show up in the audit logs.
How to Use:
Head Settings>Payments.
Go to Payment Links Tab -> Click on the three dots option for any payment link -> choose delete.
Once the confirmation modal opens up -> choose ok.
To check the audit logs one can go to Settings -> Audit Logs -> Filters -> Payment links.
Opportunities
Settings with Decoupling Contact and Opportunity Owners
With this new feature, users can now have separate owners for contacts and opportunities in your system. This flexibility allows for more nuanced management and delegation of responsibilities within your organization.
How to Use:
Navigate to Settings > Opportunities & Pipeline.
Find the “Allow different owners for contacts and its opportunities” option.
Toggle the setting to “On.”
Default Opportunity Owner: When creating a new opportunity, the default owner will be the same as the contact owner. However, this can be updated as needed to reflect the appropriate ownership.
With this change, the contact owner and the opportunity owner can be differently set.
Subsettings: There are two additional subsettings available –
Allow updating the contact follower based on the opportunity owner change: Enable this setting to automatically update the contact follower when the opportunity owner is changed.
Allow updating the opportunity follower based on the contact owner change: Enable this setting to automatically update the opportunity follower when the contact owner is changed.
This will also work in the same manner when opportunities and contacts are created/updated via Automations and Bulk Actions.
Note:
Once the setting is turned on, the automations which currently update owners might not update the opportunity owner so please check all automations where owners are updated once the setting is turned on
We are also working on adding an opportunity action to add and remove owners which will be coming soon after this release.
Invoicing
Negative Priced Items
Users can now create negative prices on their invoices. Products with negative prices won’t be available to save for later use, nor can they have taxes assigned to them. This allows users to capture information of Advances/Returns/Buybacks within their invoices.

Configure “From” Name and “From” Email
Users will now be able to configure from name and from email for every email/notification sent by document and contracts.
How to Use?

Reputation Management
Review Widget and Reviews AI
We added the Carousel Review Widget and made several enhancements to the Responses for Reviews AI. Previously, the AI produced generic responses, so we diversified them for better quality. Additionally, the Reviews AI was not detecting the original language when replying, which has now been improved. Lastly, a bug causing multiple salutations at the end of responses has been fixed.
Upcoming
Spam detection while responding to reviews.
Ability to add custom prompts for replies.

On the last step, expand Additional Settings.
Choose whether to include Setup Fees in Commission Calculation.

Why it Matters:
This enhancement ensures that affiliates receive commissions for products that include setup fees, eliminating any missed opportunities.
Workflows
Pagination and Flow Optimization
Pagination in Workflow
Introducing pagination in workflows which would allow users to easily increase the count of workflows they can see in a single page.
Create Workflow Flow Optimization
Optimizing the way for workflow creation
Instead of taking users to the templates, users now have a way to directly “start from the scratch” for all those pro users out there.
How to Use?
On the workflow list view page, users on the bottom right to select the total number of workflows they can view in a single page with options (10/25/50).
The pagination preference would be saved for the user so that they don’t have to change it with every new session.
Nested Folders
Nested folders allow you to create a hierarchy of folders within folders, enhancing your ability to organize workflows more effectively. Now, you can group related workflows together, making them easier to locate and manage.
This is the first time we are introducing nested-level organization of documents in the HighLevel Platform. To the best of our knowledge, none of our competitors offer this feature yet.
What problem does this solve?
Previously, users were limited to creating folders only at the root level, which also applied to setting permissions. This made it challenging to create sub-folders or assign specific permissions at different levels within the folder structure.
Key Benefits:
Enhancing User Experience
Providing the ability to create nested folders and move them, which aids in better organization
Allowing for differentiated role permissions; users can now set permissions for subfolders, either restricting with tighter control or maintaining the same level of access as the root.
New Custom Code Action
Custom Code is a powerful tool that will allow users to create custom logic they want to achieve.
This provides flexibility and control beyond the pre-built actions, enabling users to automate complex tasks and integrate with various services not natively supported.
How to Use?
Go to workflows
Add Action
Search for “Custom Code“
Write the code and Test the Code in the same step.
