STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS + ANNOTATED GHL SCREENSHOTS

Steps in GoHighLevel

  1. STEP 1
    Increase Pause Detection to 450ms: In AI Agents > Voice AI > Advanced Settings, set the endpointing / silence threshold to 400ms–500ms so brief cell-phone audio drops do not trigger an early reply.

  2. STEP 2
    Ask One Question Per Turn: In AI Agents > Voice AI > Prompt, split multi-part questions so the agent asks one question at a time (What street address is the repair at?).

MODE: AGENT PROMPT
PASTE INTO CLAUDE CODE, CURSOR, CHATGPT, OR GOHIGHLEVEL ASK AI AGENT PROMPT 
Tune our GoHighLevel Voice AI agent so it stops interrupting callers who are calling from noisy cell phones or trucks:
1. Set the silence/pause detection threshold to 450ms so callers can pause while reading out an address or phone number.
2. Audit the Voice AI prompt to split any compound multi-part questions into single-question turns under 22 words.
3. Add natural comma pauses before reading back phone numbers or appointment times.
Cause
  • Callers on speakerphone or driving in a truck pause for half a second to think of their zip code or street address
  • and an overly aggressive voice bot immediately talks over them.
GoHighLevel Configuration
  • Tune your silence/endpointing timer to 400ms
  • 500ms so callers can take a natural breath, write prompts in short conversational sentences with commas
  • and never stack two questions in the same turn.
