GoHighLevel just made the Wait action more useful for sales and support teams. You can now pause a workflow until a team member replies to a conversation. That means GHL can track your team’s response activity, not just the contact’s reply. 👀
This is a solid update for anyone managing first-response times. Before, you had to rely on manual checks or extra workflow steps to see if someone replied. Now, you can use the new User Replied wait condition to keep things cleaner.
Here’s where it gets useful.
You can set a timeout. If a staff user replies before the timeout, the workflow continues like normal. If no one replies in time, the workflow can move into a backup path.
That backup path could:
- Send an internal alert.
- Create an urgent task.
- Notify a manager.
- Reassign the conversation.
- Tag the contact as a missed SLA.
For sales teams, this helps stop hot leads from sitting too long. For support teams, it helps keep response standards clear. For agencies, it gives you a better way to build SLA workflows for clients without making the workflow builder look like a plate of spaghetti. 🍝
Start simple. Build one workflow that waits 15 minutes for a sales reply or 30 minutes for a support reply. Test both paths, then roll it into your real process.
Small update. Real impact. Better response tracking inside GHL. 🔧
