Smarter Message Sending Errors Prevention to Boost Your Campaign Success 

GoHighLevel just made message sending smarter and easier. Now, before you send a message, the system checks for common problems that cause message sending errors. This means you won’t waste time or credits sending to contacts that won’t get your message.

Here’s what it does now:

• It spots contacts who have opted out by replying STOP, numbers that are landlines or invalid, and numbers that can’t receive SMS for other reasons. It also checks for regional rules and whether your SMS number can send messages.
• Instead of confusing error codes, you get clear, easy-to-understand feedback right in the app telling you why a message can’t be sent.
• The system also adds smart Do Not Disturb tags automatically. Permanent DND marks contacts who should never be messaged again. Temporary DND tags contacts with short-term issues like a phone being off or carrier problems.

This update saves you credits, cuts down on failed sends, and keeps your contact list clean and ready for better campaigns.

Message sending errors cost you time and money. Every failed message uses up your SMS credits and hurts your campaign results. With GoHighLevel’s smarter message sending errors checks, you catch problems before they happen.

Here’s why this update matters:

• It saves you money by stopping messages that won’t get delivered. No more wasting credits on bad numbers.
• Your messages reach real people who can respond, which improves your chances of success.
• You get clear, fast feedback so you know exactly why a message didn’t send.
• Your contact list stays cleaner because smart DND tags automatically block contacts who can’t get messages.

If you run big campaigns or manage lots of contacts, this feature keeps your marketing sharp and your budget safe.

This section will show you how to test message sending errors in GoHighLevel by sending an SMS to a contact that doesn’t exist or has an invalid number. You’ll learn how to see the instant error feedback in the app and understand what it means. Plus, we’ll cover how to check the Do Not Disturb tags that the system applies automatically.
