Overview

What this migration involves

AeronaClinic is a cloud-based practice management system for dental and health clinics, handling patient demographics, appointment scheduling, treatment plans, clinical notes, and billing integration. HighLevel is an all-in-one CRM with Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, and Custom Objects — designed for agencies and service businesses that need marketing automation under one subscription. The two platforms share a cloud-native architecture but differ significantly in data model: AeronaClinic organizes around patients and clinical encounters, while HighLevel organizes around leads, deals, and pipelines. FlitStack AI extracts AeronaClinic records via the platform's API export, maps patient contacts to HighLevel Contacts, clinic business data to Companies, and appointment or treatment data into Custom Objects or Opportunity custom fields. Original create dates, owner assignments, and appointment timestamps are preserved as custom fields in HighLevel. Workflows, email sequences, and automation logic do not transfer — these require manual rebuild in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using exported definitions as reference material. HighLevel's sub-account model (Agency > Sub-Accounts) is destination-side configuration that your team sets up independently of the migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

AeronaClinic

What's pushing teams away

  • Some practices find the feature set narrower than larger platforms like Dentrix Ascend or CareStack, reporting that advanced clinical workflows or specialist modules require third-party workarounds.
  • The lack of a mobile application means practitioners who want to chart or check schedules from a phone or tablet report friction compared to mobile-first alternatives.
  • Clinics with multiple locations or complex multi-practitioner setups report that reporting and analytics tools, while functional, are less flexible than what spreadsheet-based analysis can deliver.
  • Users occasionally cite the learning curve for staff unfamiliar with cloud-based interfaces, particularly for features like KPI dashboards and automated reporting that replace legacy paper or spreadsheet workflows.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How AeronaClinic objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a AeronaClinic object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

AeronaClinic

Patient

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic patient records map to HighLevel Contacts. Patient name, date of birth, contact details, and address fields transfer directly. HighLevel stores these as native Contact fields (firstName, lastName, email, phone, address).

AeronaClinic

Patient Address

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:many
Fully supported

Patient address data splits two ways: personal address fields land on the Contact record, while clinic or practice address associated with a patient (e.g., for referral tracking) maps to a Company record. Your team decides which addresses become Company records during mapping. This split ensures patient home addresses stay with the Contact while clinic locations are properly categorized in the Companies object for reporting and territory management.

AeronaClinic

Appointment

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object: Appointment

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic appointments do not have a direct HighLevel equivalent — HighLevel has a Calendar tool for scheduling but not a native Appointment object. We create a Custom Object in HighLevel named 'Appointment' with fields for date, time, duration, provider, patient link, and status. This integrates with HighLevel's Workflow triggers for appointment-based automation.

AeronaClinic

Treatment Plan

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object: TreatmentPlan

1:1
Fully supported

Treatment plans (procedure codes, descriptions, costs, completion status) migrate as a Custom Object in HighLevel linked to the Contact record. Each line item becomes a Custom Object record associated with the patient Contact. HighLevel's Custom Object API supports relationship fields that connect TreatmentPlan records to Contacts.

AeronaClinic

Clinical Note

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object: ClinicalNote

1:1
Fully supported

Clinical encounter notes migrate as a Custom Object linked to the Contact. HighLevel's Custom Objects support long-text fields for note body, date, provider, and encounter type. Original note timestamps are preserved. Note: HIPAA/BIPA compliance considerations on clinical data must be addressed destination-side in HighLevel's access controls.

AeronaClinic

Invoice / Billing Record

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic billing records (outstanding amounts, payment history) transform into HighLevel Opportunity records with custom fields for invoice number, amount billed, amount paid, and balance. HighLevel's Opportunities track deal value and stage — billing records use stage='Closed Won' with custom fields for financial line items.

AeronaClinic

Insurance Information

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Patient insurance details (provider, policy number, group number, coverage type) migrate as custom fields on the Contact record in HighLevel. These are informational fields — HighLevel has no native insurance object, so structured fields are created (Insurance_Provider__c, Policy_Number__c, Group_Number__c).

AeronaClinic

Referral Source

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Field + Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Referral source tracking (how the patient found the clinic) maps to a custom field on Contact (Referral_Source__c) plus a HighLevel Tag for segmentation. Tags enable workflow triggers based on referral origin in HighLevel's automation engine. This dual approach allows both reporting on referral performance and automated follow-up sequences based on how each patient was acquired.

AeronaClinic

Patient Portal Account

maps to

HighLevel

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic's Patient Portal login records (email, consent status, e-signature completions) have no direct HighLevel equivalent. Portal consent records are preserved as custom fields on the Contact for audit reference. The Patient Portal itself — including online booking widgets, treatment plan review pages, e-signature intake forms, and 24/7 patient access — is an AeronaClinic feature that must be replaced with HighLevel's form and intake workflow capabilities.

AeronaClinic

Recall / Appointment Reminder

maps to

HighLevel

Workflow Trigger (HighLevel)

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic's recall system (automated patient reminders for hygiene appointments, follow-ups, and preventive care recalls) has no direct HighLevel equivalent and cannot be exported. These automations require rebuilding as HighLevel Workflows using the Appointment Custom Object date fields as triggers, combined with HighLevel's SMS, email, and task action steps. FlitStack exports recall schedules (reminder intervals, recall types, patient cohorts) as a reference document for your HighLevel admin to use during rebuild.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Healthcare data requires destination-side compliance configuration

    AeronaClinic stores protected health information (clinical notes, treatment plans, insurance details) that falls under HIPAA in the US or GDPR/BIPA in other jurisdictions. HighLevel supports HIPAA compliance on its Enterprise plan, but your team must configure Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), access controls, and encryption settings destination-side before clinical data lands. FlitStack does not configure HIPAA compliance settings — we flag the requirement and can work within your existing BAA framework during migration.

  • Appointment and recall data must become Custom Objects — HighLevel has no native clinical scheduling object

    HighLevel's native Calendar tool handles appointment booking for new leads and contacts, but it does not store historical appointment records with clinical metadata (provider, procedure code, treatment notes). AeronaClinic's appointment and recall history migrates into HighLevel Custom Objects that your team links to Contacts manually or via the HighLevel API. The Custom Object schema must be created in HighLevel before the migration run — FlitStack delivers a schema setup plan for this.

  • Patient Portal accounts do not transfer — forms and intake workflows require rebuild

    AeronaClinic's Patient Portal (for online booking, treatment plan review, e-signatures, and form completion) has no equivalent in HighLevel. Portal consent records, e-signature completion logs, and patient portal login data are preserved as custom fields on Contact records for reference, but the portal itself must be replaced with HighLevel's Forms and Workflow intake tools. Your team rebuilds the patient-facing experience in HighLevel's Funnel Builder and Form Builder, creating equivalent functionality for appointment requests, treatment plan acknowledgment, and patient intake collection that the Patient Portal previously provided.

  • Recall and appointment reminder automations do not transfer — they require HighLevel Workflow rebuild

    AeronaClinic's automated recall system (hygiene reminders, follow-up appointment triggers, and preventive care notifications) operates as platform-managed automation that cannot be exported from AeronaClinic and does not map directly to HighLevel's Workflow Builder. FlitStack exports the recall schedule logic (reminder intervals, recall types, patient cohorts, and trigger conditions) as a reference document for your HighLevel admin. Your team rebuilds these as Workflows using the Appointment Custom Object date fields as triggers, combined with HighLevel's SMS, email, and task action steps.

  • Insurance information flattens into Contact custom fields — no native insurance object exists

    AeronaClinic stores structured insurance data (provider, policy number, group number, coverage type, subscriber ID, and effective dates) in dedicated insurance record objects. HighLevel has no native insurance or benefits object, so FlitStack maps each insurance field to a custom text or pick-list field on the Contact record. Practices with multiple insurance plans per patient (primary, secondary, and dental/vision splits) need a custom design decision: either multiple sets of contact custom fields, or a separate Insurance Custom Object with a lookup relationship to the Contact record.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful AeronaClinic to HighLevel data migration

  1. Stand up HighLevel Custom Object schema first

    Before data moves, FlitStack delivers a Custom Object setup plan for HighLevel covering Appointment, TreatmentPlan, and ClinicalNote objects. Your HighLevel admin creates these via Settings > Custom Objects, defining field types (date, text, currency, pick-list) and relationship fields back to Contact. We also identify which Contact custom fields (Insurance_Provider__c, Referral_Source__c, etc.) need to be created. The schema must be ready before the migration validation runs.

  2. Extract AeronaClinic data via API export

    FlitStack connects to AeronaClinic using your API credentials (or data export if API access is limited) and extracts all patient records, appointments, treatment plans, clinical notes, and billing history. We preserve original create dates, last-modified timestamps, and owner/provider assignments throughout the extraction process. A pre-extraction audit flags any data that exceeds HighLevel's field limits or requires flattening before loading into Custom Objects.

  3. Resolve provider and owner assignments to HighLevel users

    AeronaClinic providers (dentists, hygienists, administrative staff) are mapped to HighLevel user accounts by email address match. Unmatched providers are flagged before migration — your team either creates HighLevel user accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in HighLevel without a valid user assignment, ensuring proper ownership and access control from day one of go-live.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning patients, appointments, and treatment plans. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing source values vs. destination field contents for every mapped property. You verify that patient demographics, appointment dates, clinical note bodies, and insurance fields land correctly in HighLevel's Contacts and Custom Objects before the full run commits. Any mapping corrections happen here, preventing data quality issues at scale.

  5. Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records

    The full migration runs against your HighLevel sub-account. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new patients, appointments, or treatment plans created or modified in AeronaClinic during the cutover. FlitStack's audit log records every operation — record counts, field mappings applied, and any records that failed validation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After rollback window closes, your team points patient communications to HighLevel.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Fully cloud-based with no local server dependency, accessible from any browser on any device.
  • Integrated payment processing via GoCardless and Stripe with automatic reconciliation.
  • Patient Portal enables 24/7 appointment booking, form completion, and treatment plan viewing by patients.
  • Strong customer service reputation with 5.0/5.0 score for support on Capterra.
  • Built-in GDPR consent recording and e-signature features for UK/EU regulatory compliance.

Weaknesses

  • No native mobile application, limiting access for practitioners who prefer tablet or phone workflows.
  • Narrower feature set compared to enterprise dental platforms like Dentrix Ascend or CareStack, potentially requiring third-party integrations for specialist workflows.
  • The API documentation is password-protected and not publicly accessible, complicating third-party migration tooling and data export.
  • Limited published pricing information beyond the £45/month starting rate, with no public tier comparison.
  • Analytics and reporting dashboards are functional but lack the customisation depth that power users and multi-location practices require.

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.
