If you’ve ever asked me: - “Where do I even start with A2P?” - “How do I get more numbers?” - “Why won’t it let me finish setup?” This is your answer. This video covers Step 1 of A2P: purchasing your phone number and verifying your ID. Think of it like getting the keys before you try to start the car. No number, no A2P. What this video shows ✅ Where to buy a new number inside DrLeadFlow ✅ How to filter by area code and turn on SMS, MMS, and Voice ✅ The ID verification flow (QR code, ID photo, selfie) so your purchase actually goes through Do this before anything else Do not start brand or campaign registration until this step is done. Otherwise you’ll be halfway down the road… missing a tire. Drop a comment if you want Video #2 to be the A2P registration walkthrough (brand + campaign) and I’ll post it next.

If you've been waiting for a better way to handle no-shows and protect your bookings, Go High Level just delivered. The new Service Calendar is a game-changer, especially for anyone running appointments where cancellations hurt your bottom line. What's New One Calendar, Unlimited Flexibility: - Services – Create as many as you need (40+, no problem) - Staff – Assign unlimited team members to specific services - Resources – Track rooms, equipment, IV bags, etc. - Add-ons – Let clients add upsells during booking - Locations – Multi-location support with location-specific services The Big One: Card-On-File Payment Option: Under Global Settings > Payment Settings, you now have three options: 1. Online payment 2. Pay in person 3. Card on file ← This is huge This means you can collect card info at booking and charge later for no-shows or late cancellations. How to Charge a No-Show Fee: 1. Go to the Contact record 2. Click Payments on the right side 3. Hit Actions > Charge Now 4. Enter description (e.g., "No-Show Fee") and amount 5. Select the card on file 6. Confirm That's it. Done manually in seconds. Protecting Yourself Legally: Add consent language to your booking form. Example: "I understand this consultation is free and a card is required to reserve my appointment. I will not be charged unless I cancel or reschedule within 24 hours, arrive more than 30 minutes late, or do not show. In those cases, I authorize a $29 schedule protection fee." This gives you documented consent before charging. Automation Note: Full automation requires a Zapier connection for now. GHL hasn't built native automation for card-on-file charges yet, but the manual process takes about 10 seconds per no-show. How to Access: 1. Go to Calendars > Calendar Settings > Services 2. If you don't see it, check Labs (agency admins) or contact your account owner to enable it Drop a 🙋 below if you're planning to implement this, or ask questions if you need help setting it up!

There's currently a platform-wide issue with Go High Level calendars - the normal calendar settings for blocking off days aren't working. Here's how to work around it so no one books on Christmas or other holidays: The Fix: 1. Go to Calendars on your main page 2. Click the blue "Add" button 3. Select "Blocked Off" (NOT a regular appointment) 4. Choose the correct team member the calendar is assigned to (Check this under Calendar Settings → Availability → see whose name is listed) 5. Name it (e.g., "Christmas") 6. Set Start Time: 1:00 AM 7. Set End Time: 11:59 PM (same day) 8. Click Block Time Done! That day is now blocked and no one can book. Action item: Go do this now for any upcoming holidays you need blocked off. Drop a comment if you have questions!

Hey everyone! Quick tip that'll save you tons of time - you DON'T need to recode your entire website just to fix or update links. Here's what you need to know: When you look at your website's code, you'll see links that look like this: href="/privacy-policy" or href="https://example.com/page" Two ways links work: 1. Using a prefix (relative link): href="/privacy-policy" This automatically uses whatever domain is in your URL If you're on yourdomain.com, it goes to yourdomain.com/privacy-policy No full URL needed! 2. Using a full URL (absolute link): href="https://differentdomain.com/privacy-policy" Use this when you need the link to go to a DIFFERENT domain Just replace the href with the complete URL The Point: You can just go into your code, find the href values, and adjust them as needed. No need to rebuild your whole site. Works for privacy policies, terms, or ANY link on your website. I use privacy/terms as examples in the video, but this works for updating any links in your coded website 👍
