All terms
A2P 10DLC
A2P messaging · 10DLC registration
A2P 10DLC is the registration system United States carriers require for application-to-person messaging sent over standard 10-digit long code numbers. Businesses register a brand and each messaging campaign. Without approved registration, messages to US numbers are heavily filtered or blocked entirely.
AI Appointment Setter
AI booking agent
An AI appointment setter is a voice agent that places outbound calls to leads or contact lists. It opens the conversation, confirms interest, qualifies against defined criteria, handles common objections, checks live calendar availability and books the appointment, writing the outcome back to the CRM.
AI Receptionist
AI phone answering · virtual receptionist
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers inbound business calls at any hour. It identifies why the caller is ringing, answers routine questions from a defined knowledge base, captures details into the CRM, books appointments against live calendar availability, and transfers urgent or complex calls to a human.
AI SDR
AI sales development representative · automated SDR
An AI SDR is software that performs sales development work: contacting prospects, asking qualifying questions, handling common objections and booking a meeting or handing over to a human. It differs from an AI receptionist in direction. An SDR works outbound lists, a receptionist answers inbound.
AI Voice Agent
voice AI · AI calling bot · conversational voice agent
An AI voice agent is software that conducts a spoken phone conversation in natural language. It understands what a caller says, responds in real time, follows defined rules, and can take actions such as booking an appointment, creating a CRM record or transferring to a human when the conversation requires one.
Conversational AI
dialogue AI · chat AI
Conversational AI is software that holds natural dialogue with people across channels including web chat, messaging apps, SMS and voice. Built properly it draws on one shared knowledge base and one set of behavioural rules across every channel, so a customer receives consistent answers regardless of how they made contact.
CRM Automation
sales automation
CRM automation removes manual work from customer relationship management by automatically creating and updating contact records, moving deals between pipeline stages, triggering follow-up sequences, assigning tasks and notifying team members, based on defined triggers rather than someone remembering to act.
Database Reactivation
DBR · list reactivation · dormant lead campaign
Database reactivation is a campaign that re-contacts dormant, previously unconverted records already held in a CRM, usually by SMS, email or voice. Because the acquisition cost was paid long ago, it is typically the cheapest source of pipeline available to a business with an existing contact list.
Email Authentication
SPF DKIM DMARC · email sender authentication · domain authentication
Email authentication is a set of DNS records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, that let receiving mailbox providers verify a message genuinely came from your domain and was not altered in transit. Without them, automated mail is far more likely to be filtered to spam or rejected outright.
GoHighLevel
GHL · HighLevel · Go High Level
GoHighLevel is an all-in-one sales and marketing platform that combines CRM and pipelines, workflow automation, funnels and websites, calendars, email, SMS and phone calling in one system. It is aimed at marketing agencies and small businesses, and supports white-label reselling under an agency's own brand.
GoHighLevel Fulfilment
GHL fulfillment · GoHighLevel fulfillment · GHL fulfilment · white label GHL fulfilment
GoHighLevel fulfilment is the technical build-and-maintain work inside a GoHighLevel account, CRM configuration, workflows, funnels, calendars, integrations and ongoing fixes, carried out by a specialist team rather than by the agency that sold it. White-label fulfilment means that work ships under the agency's brand.
GoHighLevel SaaS Mode
GHL SaaS Mode · SaaS Mode
SaaS Mode is a GoHighLevel feature that lets an agency resell the platform as its own branded software product. It handles automated client sign-up, subscription billing through Stripe, per-client sub-account provisioning from a snapshot, and rebilling of usage-based costs such as SMS, calls and email.
GoHighLevel Snapshot
GHL snapshot
A GoHighLevel snapshot is a reusable template of a sub-account containing its pipelines, workflows, funnels, calendars, custom fields, forms and campaigns. Loading a snapshot into a new sub-account recreates that configuration in minutes, which lets agencies deliver repeatable client builds instead of rebuilding each one.
Lead Attribution
marketing attribution · source tracking
Lead attribution is the practice of recording which marketing source, campaign or interaction produced each enquiry, so spend can be evaluated against outcomes. Models differ in which touch gets the credit, first, last, or a share distributed across every interaction in the path.
Lead Nurturing
lead nurture · nurture sequence
Lead nurturing is the practice of maintaining useful contact with prospects who are not ready to buy, through sequenced messages and content over weeks or months, so the business remains present and credible when the buying decision is eventually made.
Lead Routing
lead assignment · lead distribution · round robin routing
Lead routing is the set of rules that decides which person or team receives each incoming enquiry, and how quickly. Common methods assign by round robin, geographic territory, product or skill, or current availability. Routing rules also define what happens when the assigned owner does not respond in time.
Missed-Call Text-Back
missed call automation
Missed-call text-back is an automation that sends an SMS immediately when an inbound business call goes unanswered. It typically acknowledges the missed call and offers to book or asks what the caller needs, converting a lost call into a text conversation.
Pipeline Stage
deal stage · sales stage · opportunity stage
A pipeline stage is one named step in a defined sales process, such as enquiry, qualified, quoted or won. Each opportunity sits in exactly one stage at a time, which makes progress measurable and lets automation fire when a record moves between stages.
Sales Funnel
marketing funnel · conversion funnel
A sales funnel is the sequence of steps a prospect moves through from first becoming aware of a business to becoming a customer. In practice it also names the set of pages, forms and follow-up built to carry someone through those steps, with measurable drop-off between each one.
SMS Deliverability
text message deliverability · SMS delivery rate
SMS deliverability is the proportion of sent text messages that actually arrive on the recipient's handset. Carriers filter messages independently of the sending platform, so registration status, message content, sending volume and complaint rates all affect whether a message is delivered or silently dropped.
Speed to Lead
lead response time · first response time
Speed to lead is the elapsed time between a prospective customer submitting an enquiry and the business making first contact. It is tracked because published research shows qualification rates fall sharply as response time increases, particularly beyond the first hour.
Trigger Link
tracked link · trackable link
A trigger link is a tracked URL that fires an automation when a specific contact clicks it. Because the click is attributed to a known contact record, it can update a field, move a pipeline stage or start a workflow, turning a click into a recorded intent signal rather than anonymous traffic.
Webhook
web hook · HTTP callback · webhook integration
A webhook is an automated HTTP request that one system sends to another as soon as an event happens, carrying the event data in the request body. It lets tools react in real time rather than repeatedly asking whether anything has changed, which is why most CRM integrations are built on webhooks.
White Label
white labelling · white-label fulfilment
White labelling means a product or service is delivered under another company's brand rather than the producer's. In agency fulfilment, a specialist team builds systems that the agency presents to its client as its own work, with the fulfilment partner remaining invisible to the end client.
Workflow Automation
business workflow automation
Workflow automation is software that runs a defined sequence of actions automatically when a trigger event occurs. A form submission, inbound call or pipeline change starts the workflow, which then sends messages, assigns tasks, updates records, books appointments or calls external systems according to conditional logic.
