Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this feature work the same way for WhatsApp and SMS attachments?

Yes. When a file is received through WhatsApp or SMS, you can use the same process to add it to the contact’s Document Management. Simply click the three-dot menu next to the message and select “Add to Documents.” This works across supported channels including Email, SMS, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp (if integrated properly with your GHL Customer Care account). Keep in mind: the ability to preview files might vary slightly depending on file type and channel.
