General
What is HighLevel, and why is it sometimes referred to as Go HighLevel or GHL?

What is Aloware, and how does it integrate with HighLevel?
Aloware is a conversation provider that powers SMS messaging within HighLevel. When you send a text message from HighLevel, it uses Aloware's backend to send the message. Furthermore, Aloware provides Automatic Call and Message Logging on the HighLevel platform (Call logs as tasks and message logs as notes in the contact tab in HighLevel), allows the synchronization of contacts between both platforms (Pull and Push contacts), in addition to synchronizing Aloware users with HighLevel.
