Contact Peek

What it does

Contact Peek changes one thing on the Opportunities board: when you click a contact, it opens in a window on top of the board instead of taking you away from it. The window shows the normal GoHighLevel contact page, without the sidebar and header, so it reads like a contact card. Check the notes, send a text, update a field, then close the window and you're exactly where you were on the board.

You can drag the window by its title bar. Close it with the ✕, the Esc key, or a click outside it.

Why it matters

Working a pipeline is a loop: look at a card, open the contact, check something, go back, find your place, repeat. On a big board with many stages and a long scroll, every "go back" costs time. The board reloads, filters may reset, and you scroll to find the column you were in. Opening each contact in a new tab is the usual workaround, which leaves you with thirty tabs by lunch.

GoHighLevel's opportunity side panel shows some contact details, but often you need the full contact record: conversations, files, custom fields, tasks. Contact Peek gives you the full record without the round trip. It's especially handy during pipeline reviews, when a manager clicks through deals one by one. For more on keeping pipelines manageable, see the pipeline glossary entry.

How it works

1. Paste the Power-Ups loader line into GoHighLevel at Agency Settings › Company › Custom JS, as shown on your Power-Ups page. Save and refresh.
2. On the Power-Ups page, make sure Contact Peek is switched on. Choose Every sub-account or pick specific ones.
3. In a sub-account, open Opportunities and click a contact's name on a card or in the opportunity panel.
4. The contact opens in a window over the board. Work in it as usual.
5. Use Open full page to switch to the regular contact page, or New tab to open it separately.
6. Close the window to return to the board.

Good to know

• Board only. Contact Peek works on the Opportunities board. Contact links elsewhere in GoHighLevel behave normally.
• Modifier-clicks are untouched. Cmd, Ctrl or Shift-click opens the contact the usual way, so habits keep working.
• Same permissions. The window is GoHighLevel's own page, so each user sees only what their permissions allow.
• Changes reach GoHighLevel within a minute of switching it on or off. Nothing to reinstall.
• Pairs with File Preview for checking documents on the board's contact pages after you open them in full, and with Dark Mode for long pipeline sessions.
• Drag it aside if you need to see a card on the board while the contact is open.
• The window title shows the contact's name, so you always know whose record is open, even after dragging it aside.
