Can a CRM send iMessages?
Not out of the box. No mainstream CRM ships native iMessage sending, so the channel connects through an iMessage platform: natively for GoHighLevel, and through a REST API and webhooks for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and the rest. Once connected, the CRM triggers sends the same way it triggers email, and replies post back to the contact record.
The trigger side is simple: anything your CRM can fire, the line can send. New lead created, stage changed, appointment booked, invoice unpaid, form abandoned. The wiring options, from native integration to the iMessage API, are laid out per platform.
The reply side is what separates a real integration from a bolt-on. Answers, delivery states, and which channel carried each message all belong on the contact record, so the rep who sent the text answers it inside the tool they already work in.

For GoHighLevel teams the integration is native: iMessage appears as a channel inside GHL conversations and workflows, which is why GHL agencies are the heaviest users of the pattern.
