If you're managing client profiles in GoHighLevel, you've probably noticed the "Missing Info" alerts that appear on entity detail screens. While these notifications are designed to keep your data clean, they can quickly become overwhelming—especially when they're flagging fields that simply don't apply to your business or your clients' businesses.
That's where the Dismiss Missing Info Alerts feature comes in. This powerful update gives you granular control over which fields matter for your specific needs, eliminating notification clutter and improving profile accuracy without forcing you to fill out irrelevant data.
In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly how to use this feature to create cleaner, more focused entity profiles. Whether you're running an agency managing dozens of client accounts or a business optimizing your own CRM, this feature will save you time and reduce alert fatigue. And if you haven't tried GoHighLevel yet, start your free 30-day trial here—that's double the standard trial period.
What Are Missing Info Alerts in GoHighLevel?
Missing Info Alerts are notifications that appear on contact, company, and opportunity profiles in GoHighLevel when specific fields are left blank. These alerts are designed to help you maintain complete and accurate data across your CRM.
By default, GoHighLevel highlights fields like:
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Website URLs
- Social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.)
- Business addresses and location data
- Company names and business details
The problem? Not every field applies to every business. A local service provider might not need a TikTok URL. A B2B consulting firm might not use Instagram. A solopreneur might not have a separate business address. Yet the alerts keep appearing, cluttering your interface and creating unnecessary noise.
💡 Pro Tip
Missing Info Alerts are helpful for data quality, but they should align with your business requirements, not generic CRM defaults. Dismissing irrelevant fields keeps your team focused on what actually matters.
Why You Should Dismiss Irrelevant Missing Info Alerts
Dismissing missing info alerts isn't about ignoring data quality—it's about being strategic with your time and attention. Here's why this feature matters:
Reduces Alert Fatigue: When your interface is cluttered with alerts for fields you'll never use, your team experiences notification overload. This makes it harder to spot the alerts that actually matter.
Improves Workflow Efficiency: Your team spends less time dismissing irrelevant notifications and more time on high-value activities like closing deals, serving clients, and growing your business.
Customizes for Your Business Model: Every agency and business is different. What's essential for one might be irrelevant for another. This feature lets you customize your CRM to match your specific needs.
Maintains Data Accuracy Where It Counts: By dismissing fields you don't need, you're essentially declaring which fields are actually important for your profiles. This keeps your focus on the data that drives decisions.
Scales Across Your Organization: If you're managing multiple client accounts or team members, dismissed field settings help standardize profile requirements across your entire operation.
Step-by-Step: How to Dismiss Missing Info Alerts
Dismissing missing info alerts in GoHighLevel is straightforward. Here's exactly how to do it:
Step 1: Navigate to an Entity Profile
Open any contact, company, or opportunity profile in GoHighLevel. You'll see the Missing Info alerts displayed prominently on the entity detail screen, typically near the top or in a dedicated section.
Step 2: Locate the Missing Info Alert
Look for the specific field that's showing a Missing Info alert. For example, if you see "YouTube URL - Missing Info," that's your target.
Step 3: Click the Dismiss Option
Next to or within the alert, you'll see a dismiss button (usually represented by an X icon, a "Dismiss" link, or similar action). Click it to dismiss that specific alert.
Step 4: Confirm the Dismissal
GoHighLevel may ask you to confirm the dismissal. Select "Yes" or "Confirm" to proceed. The alert will be removed from that profile.
Step 5: Apply to Multiple Profiles (Optional)
If you're dismissing the same field type across multiple profiles (e.g., TikTok URL for all your e-commerce clients), you may see an option to apply this dismissal to all profiles of the same type. This is a huge time-saver for agencies managing bulk profiles.

How Dismissed Fields Affect Profile Completeness Scoring
One question agencies ask: "If I dismiss a field, does it hurt my profile completeness score?"
The answer is no—and this is by design. When you dismiss a missing info alert for a field, that field is no longer counted against your profile completeness percentage. This means your profile completeness score reflects only the fields that actually matter to your business.
For example, if your contact profile previously showed 60% completeness because of 10 missing social media fields, dismissing those 8 irrelevant fields will increase your completeness score to reflect only the data that's truly relevant to you.
This is powerful because:
- Your completeness scores become more meaningful and actionable
- You can set realistic profile completion targets for your team
- Reporting and metrics align with actual business requirements
- You're incentivizing your team to focus on the right data
How to Re-Enable Dismissed Fields
Changed your mind? No problem. GoHighLevel lets you re-enable dismissed fields anytime.
To restore a dismissed field:
1. Return to the Entity Profile where the field was dismissed.
2. Look for a "Dismissed Fields" or "Manage Alerts" section (often collapsed or in a settings menu on the profile).
3. Find the field you want to re-enable and click the option to restore or un-dismiss it.
4. Confirm the action. The missing info alert will reappear, and the field will be counted toward your completeness score again.
This flexibility is especially useful if you start a new marketing campaign that requires social media URLs, or if your business model changes and certain fields suddenly become relevant.
💡 Pro Tip
Document which fields you've dismissed and why. This helps onboard new team members and ensures consistency across your organization about what data is—and isn't—important to collect.
Best Practices for Managing Entity Profiles
Audit Your Fields Regularly — Quarterly or biannually, review which fields are generating missing info alerts and decide if they're truly necessary for your business.
Create Role-Based Standards — If you're an agency, establish field requirements that vary by client type. Real estate agents need different fields than SaaS companies.
Train Your Team — Make sure everyone understands which fields are required for your profiles and why others have been dismissed. This prevents inconsistent data entry.
Use Bulk Dismissal Features — If GoHighLevel offers batch dismiss options, use them to apply field decisions across multiple profiles at once.
Monitor Profile Completeness — With dismissed fields excluded from your scoring, monitor whether your actual completeness rates are improving. This tells you if your field requirements are realistic.
Balance Automation with Control — While dismissing alerts is helpful, don't dismiss critical fields like email or phone number unless you truly don't need that data.
The Dismiss Missing Info Alerts feature is one of those updates that seems small but has a real impact on your daily workflow. By taking control of which fields matter for your business, you'll reduce alert clutter, improve your team's focus, and create profiles that actually reflect your needs—not generic CRM defaults.
Whether you're an agency managing hundreds of client profiles or a business optimizing your own CRM, this feature puts you back in control. Start using it today, and you'll immediately notice cleaner, more organized entity profiles across your GoHighLevel account.
