How to View WhatsApp Policy Violations in GoHighLevel

If you manage messaging tools across platforms like ClickUp and CRM systems, understanding how WhatsApp policy violations work in GoHighLevel is critical. This step-by-step guide explains where to find policy violation details for your WhatsApp Business Account, how to read them, and what each status means so you can protect your sender reputation and keep conversations running smoothly.

Overview of WhatsApp Policy Violations in GoHighLevel

When WhatsApp detects a violation of its Commerce or Business Messaging policies, it can restrict or disable a WhatsApp Business Account. Inside GoHighLevel, you can quickly review the reason, status, and impact of these violations, helping you decide what to fix and how urgently to act.

The violations shown are generated by WhatsApp and Meta, not by GoHighLevel itself. However, GoHighLevel centralizes the information so you do not have to log into multiple dashboards.

Where GoHighLevel Shows WhatsApp Account Violations

To view policy issues associated with your WhatsApp Business Account, you must access the correct section of your account settings. The details are visible only for accounts connected through the embedded WhatsApp Business integration.

Step 1: Open Your GoHighLevel Agency View

Sign in to your GoHighLevel account using your agency credentials.
Make sure you are in the Agency view, not a sub-account. This is where WhatsApp account connections are managed.

Only users with appropriate permissions can view and manage WhatsApp Business settings. If you cannot see the required menus, contact your agency administrator.

Step 2: Navigate to WhatsApp Business Settings in GoHighLevel

From the left-hand menu, open Settings.
Locate the section where messaging integrations and numbers are configured.
Select the WhatsApp Business Account you want to review. This should be the account connected through the official embedded signup flow.

Once you choose the correct WhatsApp Business Account, GoHighLevel displays its connection status, phone numbers, and policy-related information.

Step 3: Open the Policy Violation Details

In the chosen WhatsApp Business Account panel, look for a dedicated area showing policy or violation information.
Click the option to view policy violation details. This opens a detailed view pulled directly from WhatsApp’s systems.

The details are read-only in GoHighLevel because enforcement decisions are controlled by WhatsApp and Meta. However, you can use the information to adjust how you send templates, campaigns, and broadcasts.

Understanding Policy Violation Information in GoHighLevel

The policy violation window in GoHighLevel helps you understand what happened, why it happened, and how it affects your account’s ability to send messages.

Key Data Fields Shown for WhatsApp Policy Violations

When you open the violation details, you typically see:

Violation Type – Indicates what aspect of WhatsApp’s policies was breached (for example, prohibited content or misuse of messaging flows).
Violation Description – A short explanation summarizing the issue as flagged by WhatsApp.
Enforcement Status – Whether the restriction is active, removed, or under review.
Enforcement Level – How severe the action is, such as limits on messaging or full account disablement.
Timestamp – When the policy violation was recorded.

This information helps you determine if the violation is historical, currently affecting your ability to send messages, or part of a pattern that might lead to stronger enforcement.

Enforcement Statuses You May See in GoHighLevel

In the violation details panel, GoHighLevel surfaces the enforcement state that WhatsApp has applied. While exact labels can vary, common concepts include:

Warning / No Enforcement – The violation is logged, but your WhatsApp Business Account can still send messages. You should still fix the root cause to avoid escalation.
Limited Messaging – Message sending is partially limited, often by volume or by type of message, such as templates.
Account Restricted or Disabled – Messaging from that number or account may be blocked until the issue is resolved through Meta’s processes.

Because the enforcement comes from WhatsApp, you cannot override restrictions directly inside GoHighLevel. Instead, adjust how you use messaging and work through the recommended channels.

How to Respond to WhatsApp Policy Violations in GoHighLevel

After reviewing policy details in your GoHighLevel dashboard, you should take immediate steps to protect your sender reputation and avoid future issues.

Step 1: Review the Violation Description Carefully

Identify which campaign, template, or type of content might have triggered the violation.
Verify that your messages comply with WhatsApp’s Business and Commerce policies.
Look for patterns: repeated issues around the same topic or template often lead to stricter enforcement.

Use the description as a signal for what to change in your messaging flows, copy, or targeting.

Step 2: Align Your Messaging Strategy Inside GoHighLevel

Once you know what went wrong, update your automations and campaigns inside GoHighLevel to prevent future violations:

Edit WhatsApp templates and remove disallowed content.
Adjust automations that send proactive messages too frequently.
Pause or rework campaigns that could be considered spammy or misleading.
Ensure your opt-in flows and consent collection are clearly documented.

By aligning your messaging strategy with WhatsApp’s policies, you reduce the risk of further enforcement actions.

Step 3: Use Official WhatsApp and Meta Resources

Because the policy and enforcement logic is fully controlled by Meta, you may need to consult their official documentation and support channels for clarification. For the original policy violation reference visible in GoHighLevel, review the source details provided by the platform: View policy violation details for your WhatsApp Business Account.

If your account is disabled or severely restricted, follow Meta’s escalation or appeal instructions when provided. GoHighLevel reflects status changes but cannot override Meta decisions.
