Hey hey GHL Fam - reaching out because I am stuck - lately - I have had to jump in with my conversational bots to correct some information they are providing real time. Problem is - when I (User) jumps in to talk to the lead, and lead responds - the bot jumps back in and immediately sends a canned response. I don't want that. In the moment, if I am correcting some info from the bot or elaborating and giving more info, I want the bot to PAUSE. I asked GHL AI about the pause feature - BUT - as soon as the lead text, the bot starts back up. This is what they said - it sounds good in theory - but not in actual practice.

GHL AI "How do I stop the conversational AI in SMS without using a DND?

the CRM provides per-contact controls and an automated Stop Bot Action so you can pause AI messaging while you manually follow up — keeping SMS from sending duplicate messages.

Here's a quick overview:

🎙️ How It Works

• Per-contact Bot Status lets you pause the bot for a single contact (Immediate manual control).
• Stop Bot Action lets you configure automatic conditions that end bot replies when a trigger is met (Automated control).
• The bot can also automatically pause in some cases (e.g., after you send a manual or workflow message) depending on global settings.

✨ Key Features

• Per-contact Inactive – From Conversations > Message Composer click the bot status icon and choose Inactive to stop the bot for that contact; optionally set a reactivation timer or leave it off permanently.
• Sleep/Snooze – Temporarily pause the bot and set a wake time so it resumes automatically.
• Stop Bot Scenarios – In Bot Goals use Stop Bot to create scenarios: name it, enable it, pick trigger condition, add example phrases, craft a final message, set a reactivate timer, and optionally tag the contact.
• Auto-pause on manual messages – Sending manual messages may pause the bot automatically to prevent overlap.

💡 Quick recommended steps

• Immediate: Open the Conversations tab, in the message composer click the bot status icon → select Inactive (or Sleep with a timer).
• Automated: Go to Bot Goals → Stop Bot → create and enable a scenario with clear trigger phrases and a final message. Test the scenario to avoid unintended stoppage."

My question - how can I program the WF or conversation bot - to stop engagement (maybe a trigger word) while I am manually working the lead/chatting - then re-engage (again trigger word) when I am done? Thank you for all your help/insight - Charlotte, NC

Hey hey - just upgraded from my Core subscriptions to the 2nd tier so I could get API access. Does Appfolio have an automated leasing agent natively within the platform? I just created one through Claude Code - was not sure if they had one that was available and how good it was. Thank you!! Charlotte, NC

Hey hey PM Fam - so I have an honest question for lead capture for renters - well any real estate business really - we have so many marketing channels to promote our rentals/sales - what system does anyone have in place to catch ALL of the inbound traffic - I have GHL as my CRM - and I have my Voice agents set up in both English/Spanish. But not all leads call me or chat with me on FB and IG or email - How is everyone else doing it??? Thank you! - Charlotte, NC

Hey hey GHL Fam - wanted to see if anyone was aware of Moltclaw for GHL - the demo website does not seem to be active anymore and I haven't gotten any updates - anyone know what's going on and when it will be available? Thanks! - Charlotte, NC

Can you use 529 to buy housing for your child while they are at college - not rent - actually BUY?

If your child goes to school close by - will the IRS allow you to use the funds from your 529 to BUY them housing?

Saw someone mention it and was not aware. Thanks! - Charlotte NC

Hello and GM Everyone - I am an avid Claude user for my professional life and wanted to get together IN PERSON with other Claude users to see how we can help learn/expand/optimize our usage of AI in our businesses - would anyone be interested?
