- Create your dot in the ChatGPT app (mobile, desktop app or desktop web).
- Customize → Plugins → install Composio or Zapier and connect HighLevel with OAuth.
- Set a rule per action: "ask before acting" for texts and emails, "take action without asking" for read-only reports.
Give the agent its own HighLevel staff user with only the permissions its job needs, so its actions show under its own name in the audit log.
