3:56概要. An SMS auto-reply in GoHighLevel responds automatically the first time a new contact texts one of your Twilio phone numbers. The setup requires a campaign that holds the welcome message and a trigger that listens for first-time SMS replies on a specific number. Turning off the Allow Multiple setting on the campaign is critical so the message sends once rather than repeating on every future text from that contact.

- Create a campaign with a welcome SMS message
- Build a trigger that listens for customer SMS replies on a specific phone number
- Filter the trigger to a single phone number so the reply is targeted
- Turn off Allow Multiple to prevent the message from repeating on every reply
- Test the flow end-to-end from a real phone
ステップ
Create the SMS campaign
Go to the Campaigns section of your GoHighLevel sub-account and create a new campaign. Give it a name like SMS Auto Reply. Add a text message action with the welcome message you want to send. Keep the message short and conversational, ending with a question to start the conversation.
Add a small delay to the send action
Add a short delay before the message action, such as 0.2 minutes, so the reply does not fire the instant the contact sends their first text. This avoids any appearance of an instant bot response, though for testing you can set it to zero.
Turn off Allow Multiple
Inside the campaign settings, find the Allow Multiple option and set it to No. This is the most important step. Without it, the welcome message fires every time the contact texts in, not just the first time.
Take the campaign out of draft
Publish the campaign so it is active and ready to receive contacts.
Create the trigger
Go to the Triggers section and create a new trigger. Set the type to SMS and name it to match the campaign. For the event, choose Customer Replied.
Add filters for SMS channel and phone number
Add a filter for Reply Channel set to SMS. Add a second filter for In Phone Number and select the specific Twilio number you want to monitor. This scopes the trigger so it only fires when someone texts that number.
Link the trigger to the campaign and activate
In the trigger's action step, choose Add to Campaign and select the SMS Auto Reply campaign you created. Save and take the trigger out of draft. Test by texting the number from a real phone and confirming the auto-reply arrives.
ヒント
- Ask a question in the welcome message so the contact replies with something useful, like their name or what they are looking for.
- If a contact has already been through this flow and you reset their status, they may receive the welcome message again. Use the Allow Multiple setting carefully.
- This same pattern works for any specific phone number you use in a marketing campaign, such as a number printed on a flyer or ad.
