Moving from LeadConnector to Ready
LeadConnector is GoHighLevel’s own texting. Moving to Ready changes who sends your texts. Everything else stays where it is, and each location keeps texting through LeadConnector until it’s ready to switch, so there’s no gap.
#Your existing texts
Old conversations stay in GoHighLevel Conversations. Ready doesn’t touch them. New texts and replies land in the same conversations, and Ready also keeps its own copy in Reports → Logs.
#Your contacts
Contacts stay in GoHighLevel. When you link a location, Ready imports a copy on its own, with each contact’s DND setting, about 40,000 at first. Opt-outs come with them, so someone who already said STOP doesn’t get a text from Ready. A location with more keeps importing in the background until it’s done, and the GoHighLevel card on its sub-account’s page shows how many have come in so far.
#Your numbers
You have two choices, and you can mix them:
- New Ready numbers. Fastest. Your contacts see a new number, so tell them before you switch.
- Port your numbers. Your contacts keep the number they know. Ports usually take 1 to 3 weeks, and the number keeps working on LeadConnector until it arrives. See Port your numbers.
#Registration while you wait
Your GoHighLevel Trust Center registration doesn’t move. Register in Ready: the brand takes about 1 to 24 hours, the campaign 2 to 7 days. If you have an approved registration, you can share its capacity with your other locations while they wait. Until a location is approved, a sending limit applies, and it keeps texting through LeadConnector as it does today.
#The switch
Once a location has a number and an approved registration, Ready sets its Telephony Provider to Ready. Ready Bot does it, or you can switch it yourself. A location that hasn’t switched keeps texting through LeadConnector.
#What your clients notice
- Nothing changes in how they use GoHighLevel. Conversations, workflows and bulk texts work as before.
- Texts come from a Ready number. If you got a new one, that’s a different number than before. A ported number looks the same.
- Opt-out wording and the business name follow your Compliance settings.
- Replies still show in the same GoHighLevel conversation.
