HighLevel Weekly Update: Badges, Bots, and Bug Busters! Your June 14th Changelog Roundup
🚀 HighLevel Weekly Update – Badges, Bots, and Bug Busters! (June 14th, 2025)
Hey there, HighLevel heroes! Ready for another round of updates, bug fixes, and fresh features that’ll make your worklife a tad less… hair-pulling? (Or, if you’re me, less of a reason to invest in stress balls.) This week’s batch is loaded with goodies—from fancy badges to smoother payments and automated affiliate boosting. Let’s jump in! 🎉
✨ Get Ready to Level Up: Create Badges in Certificate Builder
Picture this: Your students just completed your epic course on "How to Not Burn Toast," and now you can award them a shiny badge! 🏅 HighLevel just launched customizable Badges in the Certificate Builder, letting you:
- Start with gorgeous templates or build your own from scratch
- Customize backgrounds, icons, borders, effects—you name it
- Tap into an element library packed with base shapes and cool icons
- Export badges as PNGs or share directly to social media (cue the humblebrags)
Why care? Badges aren’t just pretty—they’re like Power-Ups for motivation, giving your learners a reason to show off and come back for more.
🐞 Bug Zappers Galore: Affiliate Manager Improvements + Auto Level-Ups
Do you ever feel like bugs are plotting against you? Well, not to brag, but the Affiliate Manager team squished a bunch for you this week:
- Stripe payment duplicates: Banished. One payment, one invoice—balance restored.
- Affiliate/campaign name updates: Finally show up right away.
- Date filter logic: Works like a calendar should (no more mysterious time warps!).
- Commission tables: Even empty ones load properly now. Awkward silences avoided.
- Tax form updates & sub-affiliate lists: Smooth as butter.
But that’s not all—get this: Affiliates can now be leveled up automatically!
- Set milestones like “sold 1000 fidget spinners” or "earned $500 in sales."
- Choose where your affiliate levels up to, and whether their customers come along for the ride.
- No more manual tracking. Just set, forget, and reward your superstars!
📊 WhatsApp Gets the VIP Reporting Treatment
Reporting just got spiffier with WhatsApp now added to the Agency Rolled-Up Reports:
- View inbound and outbound WhatsApp metrics across all your sub-accounts (hello, bird’s-eye view!)
- You’ll see new WhatsApp options in columns, charts, and CSV exports
- Works in the Outreach widget for scheduled reports
Pro Tip: The reports run in your browser’s timezone, so no more time-traveling messages. Just be sure you check the right zone (unless you like time-travel, in which case: Flux capacitor not included).
💸 Pass Processing Fees Straight to Your Customers (No Magic Tricks Needed)
Tired of eating those pesky payment processing charges? Now you can pass them directly to your customers (transparently, of course) thanks to the new "Processing Charges" option in Payment Settings!
- Set custom fee percentage & labels (call it a "Fun Bonus Fee" if you’re feeling wild)
- Apply to invoices, funnels, forms, surveys, payment links, etc.
- Customers see the fee as a separate line item at checkout and on receipts
- Data exports show the charge with clear labels and amounts (no accounting wizardry needed)
Important bits:
- No retroactive changes to existing invoices/orders
- Only PayPal & custom payment providers on invoices at launch (mobile app support is coming soon, hold tight!)
🔀 Funnel Cloning Gets Smarter (Finally!)
Ever cloned a funnel only to have all your internal links point BACK to your old funnel? Oof. Previously, you’d have to fix each "Go to Page" and "Go to Step" action by hand (and possibly contemplate a career in detective work).
Now with the new fix:
- All internal navigation actions (like "Go to Page") AUTOMATICALLY update to match your new funnel
- Cloning and importing are now painless—no more manual link detective work
Can we get a slow clap for this one? 👏
🤖 Prospecting Tool Gets a Turbo Boost for Category Management
Goodbye, endless scrolling and "What the heck did I call that category…?"

- Search within categories: Lightning-fast. Find stuff in seconds.
- Sort categories: A-Z or Z-A, as your heart desires
Perfect for those of us with more categories than pairs of socks. Check out the slick new dropdown:
