Document Purpose​

This document provides a comprehensive overview of how GoHighLevel components work together to create Symphony Core's "ready to configure" automation platform, leveraging the Extendly Ultimate Small Business Snapshot as the foundational system.

Platform Architecture Foundation​

GoHighLevel serves as the foundational CRM and marketing automation platform that powers Symphony Core's entire service delivery model. The Extendly Ultimate Small Business Snapshot provides a comprehensive starting point that transforms the otherwise empty GoHighLevel environment into a fully operational business system within days rather than months.

Core System Components Integration​

Automated Lead Processing Every lead entering the system triggers a sophisticated workflow that:
