Hello HighLevel Team,
I would like to request an important feature enhancement for workflow automation.
CURRENT LIMITATION:
When using the "Contact Replied" trigger (or similar message-based triggers), there is no way to identify WHO sent the message - whether it was:
  • The contact/customer (inbound)
  • A team member/staff (outbound manual)
  • The system/bot (automation)
REQUESTED FEATURE:
Please add the following variables to message-based workflow triggers:
  • {{user.id}} - ID of the staff member who sent the message
  • {{user.name}} - Name of the staff member
  • {{message.source}} or {{message.type}} - To identify if message is from: contact, staff, or automation
USE CASE:
This would enable us to:
  1. Prevent AI bots from interfering when human staff is actively chatting with a customer
  2. Automatically tag conversations when staff takes over
  3. Create smarter workflows that behave differently based on who sent the message
  4. Better track which team members are engaging with customers
BUSINESS IMPACT:
Many agencies using HighLevel AI features face the same challenge - bots interfering with human conversations. This feature would solve a major pain point and make AI automation much more practical.
Thank you for considering this enhancement!
