Communities

Currently we have the ability for a category, subcategory and lessons. We need deeper subcategory structures and sub-lesson structures. Deeper structures are necessary.

Hey GHL team — I wanted to share an idea that could seriously level up the Communities feature. Right now, Communities is great for structured posts and announcements, but what it’s really missing is a real-time group chat option, like WhatsApp or Telegram groups. Posts are awesome for updates, but people crave fast, casual, and personal conversations too — and that’s where chat shines. To give you some context, over 70% of WhatsApp users open the app daily, and group chats usually get replies in under 2 minutes. Compare that to post-based platforms where comments often come in hours later, if at all. When you’ve got people in a community, having both options — posts for announcements and a chat for conversations — keeps everyone way more active and connected. Use cases would be things like quick class coordination, real-time Q&As, live event chats, polls, or just letting members casually bond. I’ve seen this work wonders in education groups, coaching programs, and membership sites. Fun fact — communities with real-time chats see twice the daily active users compared to those with just posts Adding chat inside Communities would give GHL users a full package — organized content through posts and instant, lively engagement through chats — making it super easy to build tight-knit, responsive, and profitable communities. Would love to see this happen!

Super important, this is too limited and not branded to each business.

Once you have quite a few courses it becomes difficult to navigate, it would be great to have categories for each course so you can filter them. A great example of this is in circle communities.

What I need is something that automatically notifies users every time I upload a new class. I don’t want to send the email manually — I want the platform to handle it automatically. Ideally, the notification would appear in the app, but if that's not possible, then an automatic email would work too.

On the websites, I want to be able to embed the community calendar and the community feed. I don’t want these to be interactive as I want people to visit the community to post, but I think it would be a good way of encouraging people to sign up to be able to interact
