📘 User Guide

Welcome to Switchboard

Everything you need to manage your GHL agency accounts from one unified dashboard. This guide covers setup, daily use, team management, and more.

Connecting Your GHL Account

Switchboard connects to your GoHighLevel agency account using OAuth — a secure authorization method that never exposes your GHL password. Setup takes less than 2 minutes.

1

Create your Switchboard account

Go to theswitchboardai.org and click Start Free Trial. Enter your name and email to create your account.

2

Authorize the GHL connection

You'll be redirected to GoHighLevel to authorize Switchboard. Click Allow to grant access. You're authorizing through GHL directly — we never see your password.

3

Your clients sync automatically

Once connected, Switchboard pulls in all your GHL sub-accounts. You'll see them listed in the sidebar immediately.

4

Start exploring

Click any client in the sidebar to view their contacts, pipeline, conversations, and calendar — all without leaving Switchboard.

💡
Agency-level access required. Switchboard works with GHL agency accounts. If you only have a sub-account login, you'll need agency-level credentials to connect.

Your Command Center

The Switchboard dashboard gives you a bird's eye view of your entire agency. Here's what you'll find:

📊

Agency Overview

Total clients, combined pipeline value, active conversations, and upcoming appointments across all accounts.

👥

Client List

All your GHL sub-accounts listed in the sidebar. Click any client to instantly switch context.

💬

Conversations

View all conversations for any client account. Stay on top of every lead without switching logins.

📅

Calendar

See upcoming appointments for any client. Never miss a booking or a follow-up.

🔀

Pipeline

Track deals, pipeline value, and opportunity stages for every client from one place.

📈

Reports

Agency-wide reporting on performance, growth, and client activity. (Pro & Agency plans.)

Quick switching: Use the client sidebar to jump between accounts instantly. Your last viewed client is remembered when you come back.

Managing Client Accounts

Every GHL sub-account connected to your agency appears in Switchboard automatically. Here's how to get the most out of each client view.

1

Select a client

Click any client name in the left sidebar. Their data loads instantly — no additional login required.

2

Navigate their data

Use the top navigation tabs to switch between Contacts, Conversations, Pipeline, and Calendar for that client.

3

Search and filter

Use the search bar within each view to find specific contacts, conversations, or deals quickly.

4

Switch to the next client

Click another client in the sidebar at any time. Switchboard switches context immediately.

🔄
Data is always fresh. Switchboard syncs with GHL's API automatically. If you've made changes inside GHL, they'll reflect in Switchboard on your next load.

Inviting Your Team

Give your team members access to Switchboard with role-based permissions. Each role controls exactly what a team member can see and do.

1

Go to Team Settings

Click your profile icon in the top right, then select Team Management.

2

Invite a team member

Click Invite Member, enter their email address, and select their role.

3

They accept the invite

Your team member will receive an email invitation. Once they accept, they'll have access based on their assigned role.

Common Questions

Do I need to give Switchboard my GHL password? +
No. Switchboard uses OAuth — you authorize access directly through GoHighLevel. We never see or store your GHL password.
How often does my data sync? +
Switchboard syncs with GHL's API automatically. Data refreshes when you load a client view, so you're always seeing up-to-date information.
Can I manage clients I add to GHL later? +
Yes. Any new sub-accounts you add to your GHL agency will automatically appear in Switchboard on your next sync.
Is my client data secure? +
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We only access what GHL's API exposes through your authorized connection and never share your data with third parties.
What if I need help? +
Email us at support@theswitchboardai.com. Pro and Agency plan customers receive priority support with faster response times.
