July 2026's releases skewed toward the future of discovery: llms.txt support and automatic schema markup prepare sites for AI search, while RCS messaging beta positions the platform for SMS's successor.
The AI-search angle connects directly to why this site exists - see our overview of what HighLevel is for the platform basics.
AI-ready websites
- llms.txt support - funnels and websites now publish the emerging standard that tells AI assistants how to read your site
- Schema markup auto-generation on publish for websites, funnels and webinars, plus inline JSON validation - structured data without the hand-coding, exactly the practice we apply across this site
- Prompt Optimizer for Conversations AI - test, tune and launch better chat agents, sharpening the bots from our AI suite guide
One client portal
The unified Client Portal shipped - courses, communities, files, invoices and certificates in one surface with file-share notifications for admins and clients. For agencies, it's a cleaner branded experience to resell under the model in our white-label guide, with Google sign-in control included.
Messaging: RCS enters the chat
RCS messaging arrived in workflows as private beta - richer-than-SMS messaging with branding and read receipts. Combined with new User Replied triggers and reply-aware Wait/Goal steps, conversational automations got meaningfully smarter - patterns we explore in the guides collection. Note the international SMS pricing update effective July 6 (pricing guide).
Reputation and ads
Review requests now let you choose the sender, drip campaigns target by review date range, and Prospect AI gained an activity center with pipeline integration. Ad Manager added custom values in ad copy and an Opportunity Score for Meta campaigns - optimization signals worth pairing with the tracking discipline from our UTM guide.
Also shipped
Hover and entrance animations came to the page builder, forms gained save-progress and document generation, courses got rebuilt progress analytics plus certificate expiration controls, gift cards work in offline payment flows, rentals added SMS and WhatsApp notifications, and Todoist and Jira joined workflow integrations.
