Migrate from Advantage HITS to HighLevel

Advantage HITS Contact records map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts via the REST API. All standard fields (name, email, phone, address) carry over with their values preserved. Custom contact properties are enumerated from the UI field metadata panel and pre-created as GoHighLevel Custom Fields on the Contact object before import.

Advantage HITS Company records map to GoHighLevel Locations. The Company name becomes Location name, and address fields map to the Location address object. Where contacts in Advantage HITS reference a parent Company, the GoHighLevel Location is linked via the contact's location_id field after the Location import completes.

Advantage HITS Deal records map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. The Deal name, value, close date, owner, and associated pipeline and stage map to Opportunity name, amount, close date, assigned user, pipeline, and stage respectively. Pipeline and stage are resolved via the crosswalk table built during the extraction phase.

Advantage HITS Pipeline definitions (stage names, stage order, win/loss flags) export separately from Deal records. Each pipeline definition is mapped to a GoHighLevel Pipeline with equivalent stage names. The pipeline ID and stage IDs in GoHighLevel are then used as foreign keys when importing Opportunities.

Advantage HITS Activity records associated with Contacts or Deals (emails, calls, meetings, notes, tasks) export with timestamps and owner references. Each activity type maps to a GoHighLevel Activity record with the activity type preserved in a custom field. Timestamps and owner assignments carry over 1:1.

User-defined fields on Contacts, Companies, or Deals are enumerated from the Advantage HITS field metadata panel. We create equivalent GoHighLevel Custom Fields on the corresponding object, matching field types (text, number, date, dropdown) before any record import begins.

Tags applied to contacts, companies, or deals in Advantage HITS export as comma-separated lists per record. We expand each tag list into individual Tag assignments in GoHighLevel, creating the tag in GoHighLevel if it does not already exist and linking it to the target record.

Advantage HITS User accounts (name, email, role, active/inactive status) are extracted and matched by email to GoHighLevel User records. Owner assignments on Deals and Activities are remapped to the corresponding GoHighLevel User via the email lookup. Unmatched owners are held in a reconciliation queue for admin resolution before record import begins.

Advantage HITS Lead Stages and status values export as enumerated picklist fields. We map them to GoHighLevel's Lifecycle Stage property on Contact, flagging any values without a direct GoHighLevel equivalent for the customer's admin to resolve.

File attachments linked to Contact or Deal records are downloaded during the extraction phase using authenticated requests, preserving original filenames. We re-upload each file to the corresponding GoHighLevel record via the file upload API. Files exceeding 50 MB are flagged for manual handling to avoid session timeout during extraction.
