🚨 You don’t need to create a twilio or mailgun account, NOW!! GHL manages all the emails and phone system, NOW IS SUPER EASY TO GET STARTED!! 🚨 You have to switch to lead connector and that’s all. Just be careful, if you’re not in SaaS Mode you cannot rebill each sms and email sent, that means you have to manually charge your client every month per spending.
