Moving to Ready

Coming from Twilio, SimpleTexting, GoHighLevel’s LeadConnector or another tool? Your contacts and numbers come with you. Your registration and message history don’t. Here is the order that saves the most waiting.

#What moves and what doesn’t

  • Contacts and opt-outs move. Import them in one file. Switching from another tool shows how to bring the opt-out column so nobody who said STOP gets a text.
  • Numbers move. Port the ones your contacts know. US and Canada numbers only; ask us about anything else. Move your numbers to Ready.
  • Registration doesn’t move. Register your business again in Registration, with the legal name and EIN on your IRS records. Registration.
  • Message history stays behind. Keep it in the old tool. Threads in Ready start empty. Using GoHighLevel? Old conversations stay in GoHighLevel.
  • Your clients' cards can move. Agencies who bill clients on Whop or Stripe connect it to Ready and the cards are found for them. Bill your clients on Whop or Stripe.

#The order

  1. Import your contacts with their opt-outs.
  2. Register. Start now, because approval is the part that makes you wait. Until it’s approved, a sending limit applies.
  3. Get new numbers, or port yours. New numbers work right away. A port takes longer, so keep the old account open until it finishes.
  4. Test. Text your own mobile and reply.
  5. Agencies: move your clients' billing. Set up User billing and connect Whop or Stripe.

#Where you’re coming from

  • Twilio, SimpleTexting or another texting tool. The order above is the whole move. A developer sending through the Twilio API? See Coming from Twilio.
  • GoHighLevel on LeadConnector. Each location keeps texting through LeadConnector until it’s ready, so there’s no gap. See Moving from LeadConnector and GoHighLevel setup.
  • Another billing provider for your clients (PayPal, invoices, another processor). Cards can’t move from those. Connect Whop or Stripe and each client adds a card once, or bill them yourself.
