🦸♂️ HighLevel Weekly: Badges, Smarter Templates, and Even Fewer Reasons to Pull Your Hair Out!
Hey HighLevelers! Grab your favorite drink, kick back, and let’s cruise through this week’s shiny new features and fixes. From smarter emails (finally!) to digital badges so bright they might need sunglasses, this batch of updates is here to make your marketing life a whole lot smoother. Read on for all the juicy details (and maybe a giggle or two 😄).
🎨 1. Badges Blast Off in the Certificate Builder
Tired of giving out plain ol’ certificates? Now you can award even cooler digital badges directly in the Certificate Builder. Think of them like digital gold stars — but fancier, and way more customizable!
- Start with badge templates or make your own masterpiece
- Edit everything: backgrounds, icons, text, borders (bling up that border!)
- Tap into a growing library of icons and shapes
- Download as PNG or share your badge with the world!
Why should your learners feel left out? Boost engagement, mark progress, and get everyone a little closer to their inner scout. 🏅
📬 2. Email Templates Get a Brain Upgrade (No More Oops-edits!)
Ever edited an email template in a workflow only to discover you just broke 17 other emails? Yeah, us too.
Now when you add a template-based email to a workflow, HIGHLEVEL MAKES A COPY. 🎉 This means:
- Changes you make only affect that workflow – not the original, not the inboxes of your entire company.
- Save as new template if you really want your masterpiece to go viral.
- Pull in global updates by syncing from the Templates section.
No more “mass reply all” disasters, promise. 🙏
See how easy editing is now:
⏰ 3. Countdown Timer Placeholders in Shared Email Templates
Count down to awesomeness without the frustration! Before, when you shared or duplicated an email template with a countdown timer, the timer pulled a vanishing act. Now, you’ll see a placeholder, so you know exactly where to put the timer back in.
No more “where’d my timer go?!” moments. Great for anyone who loves a dramatic deadline (looking at you, marketers).
🗂️ 4. Unified Task UI — Consistency for Your To-Do Lists
Goodbye, “Wait, why does this task screen look different over here?” Emergency room, meet spa day: the task interface now looks and acts the same across Contacts and Opportunities.
- Cleaned up Add Task form
- Recurring tasks everywhere
- Better filters and search (because scrolling is so last week)
- Enable in Settings > Labs > 'Task Management UX Enhancement'
Upgrade your task game:
🔍 5. Prospecting Tool: Now With Search Powers!
Organizing your prospects shouldn’t feel like a game of hide-and-seek. Enjoy these new features:
- Category names up to 50 characters (Fit those tongue-twister titles!)
- Search bar in category dropdowns — find what you need faster
- Sort categories A-Z or Z-A (for when you’re feeling wild)

🧑💻 6. Funnel Cloning Just Got Smarter!
Before: Cloned a funnel, and the links inside stubbornly pointed to the old funnel.
Now: Cloned funnels update all internal navigation references automatically!
- “Go to Page/Step” actions point to the right spots
- No more manual hunting or awkward errors
This is called working smarter, not harder. We like it.
🕵️♂️ 7. Affiliate Manager: Bug-Squashing Extravaganza
No one likes bugs — unless they’re the chocolate-covered kind. We fixed:
- Duplicate Stripe payments
- Affiliate/campaign name updates not showing up
- Date filter on payouts page
- Commission tables now load, even if empty
- Tax form info deletes correctly
- Sub-affiliates now display correctly
Long story short: You manage your affiliates, we’ll keep the bugs away.
💸 8. Processing Charges: Pass the Fees (Without Passing Out)
Finally! Want to pass processing, convenience, or any other fees to your customers right at checkout? Now you can:
- Toggle the feature ON/OFF in Payment Settings
- Name the fee, pick a %
- Apply to Invoices, Funnels, Forms, Surveys, Payment Links
- Your customers see the fee clearly as a line item
Bonus: You’re in total control. Whether you want to call it a “Unicorn Handling Surcharge” or “Standard Payment Fee” — the sky’s the limit!
📊 9. Agency Reports: WhatsApp Joins the Party
If you’re managing multiple sub-accounts, now you finally get WhatsApp metrics in your rolled-up reports.
- Track inbound and outbound numbers, right alongside all your other data
- WhatsApp shows in columns, charts, exports—everywhere you’d expect
🤩 That’s a Wrap!
Ready to try out these upgrades? These new features are rolling out now — so go forth, make sparkly certificates, automate even more (while finally remembering what you did to that workflow email), and enjoy a bug-free, smoother ride!
Until next time… stay high, stay leveled up! 🚀
