Use SMSMobileAPI in GHL Conversations

Send messages from GoHighLevel Conversations using your own mobile number, and automatically sync every reply from your phone back into the same contact thread. Real two-way texting, one unified inbox.

Why teams love this

Outbound from your phone: Texts you send in GHL go out through your connected mobile device. Your contacts see your real number—more trust, higher reply rates.

Inbound back to Conversations: Replies received on your phone are pushed into GHL and attached to the correct contact, keeping the whole discussion in a single thread.

No extra SMS provider fees: Messages use your mobile plan. Skip third-party gateways and complex verifications.

Better prospecting & follow-up: Centralize texting, assign conversations, add notes, and keep full history in GHL.

How it works inside Conversations

1) Connect your mobile

Install the SMSMobileAPI app on your phone and sign in. Your device links to your account and is ready to send & receive.

Tip: Keep the app open during your first tests—you’ll see pending texts under “Messages to send”.

2) Send from the Conversations inbox

Open GHL → Conversations, pick a contact, and send your message as usual.
SMSMobileAPI routes the message through your phone, so the recipient gets a text from your real number.

You can personalize content with your contact’s info (name, appointment time, etc.).

3) Replies appear in the same thread

When your contact responds, the SMS arrives on your phone and is instantly synced to GHL, linked to the same contact.
Your team continues the conversation without switching tools.

4) Manage like any other GHL conversation

  • Assign to teammates, add notes, apply tags.
  • Search across threads and keep the full message history.
  • Stay compliant with opt-out handling (e.g., “STOP”).

Quick start (2 minutes)
