What's New in GoHighLevel: Weekly Release Radar (Updated September 2026)
This is the running record of what is new in GoHighLevel. HighLevel ships several releases a week, and the official changelog lists them without saying which ones change how an agency sells, bills or delivers. This page does that. It is updated every week: the latest releases at the top, the weekly release radars and monthly roundups indexed below, and a short list of what to do about it. Last updated 17 September 2026.
TLDR
- HighLevel publishes releases at ideas.gohighlevel.com/changelog. This page tracks the ones that matter for agencies, SaaS resellers and business owners.
- Each week gets a release radar post. Each month gets a roundup. This page is the index and the summary.
- The most consequential changes this month: the WhatsApp processing fee is removed from 1 October, workflows now have a publish validation gate, and custom fields gained new types.
- Prices stay at $97 Starter, $297 Unlimited and $497 Agency Pro. The link on this page gives a 30-day free trial.
This Week: 10 to 16 September 2026
- New custom field types (16 September). URL fields with domain controls, more flexible date and time options, a user assignment field and visual improvements for radio buttons and checkboxes. The date and time options matter most: they make rebooking and renewal workflows in vertical setups easier to build. See how they are used in the med spa guide and the insurance guide.
- WhatsApp: 5% processing fee removed from 1 October (15 September). HighLevel aligns WhatsApp rates with Meta's published pricing and introduces new billable categories for service and utility messages. Agencies rebilling WhatsApp usage should reprice before October. Background in the AI and usage pricing guide.
- Workflow publish and validation gate (11 September). Publishing a workflow now runs a safety check, lists configuration errors in one sidebar and blocks deployment until they are fixed. Snapshots pushed to many sub-accounts benefit most. Details in the snapshots guide.
- Manually retry failed subscription payments (11 September). Failed subscription payments can be retried with a saved or new payment method across payment providers. Relevant to SaaS Mode resellers and to gyms, memberships and coaching programmes.
- Communities voice notes (11 September). Members can record, upload and play back voice notes in posts and comments, with adjustable playback speed.
- Ask AI in the App Marketplace (10 September). Natural language app discovery, with agency controls over which apps sub-accounts can see.

What To Do About It
- If you rebill WhatsApp, open your SaaS configurator and reprice the WhatsApp line before 1 October.
- Republish your core snapshot workflows once. The validation gate will surface any broken merge fields or missing forms that have been silently failing.
- Add the user assignment custom field to any vertical snapshot that routes by salesperson, injector, coach or tech.
- If you run memberships or subscriptions, pair the manual retry with a failed payment workflow so the retry happens before the customer notices.

How To Read a HighLevel Release
- Labs means opt-in and unfinished. Test it in a sandbox sub-account, not in a client account.
- Billing and usage changes apply to every sub-account on the date stated. Reprice before, not after.
- Workflow triggers and actions are safe to adopt the week they ship. Snapshot them once tested.
- UI changes rarely need action, but update your client training videos when navigation moves.
