Overview
BoomTown is a real-estate-vertical CRM bundled with IDX website hosting, predictive lead scoring, and managed lead-generation services. Its standard objects include Contacts with lead scoring and best-fit lead fields, Companies, Deals with pipeline stages, Drip Campaigns, Tags, and Custom Fields — all accessible via BoomTown's API for export. HighLevel is a general-purpose all-in-one CRM, marketing automation, and funnel platform that stores Contacts, Companies, Opportunities (pipeline deals), Custom Fields, Tags, and Workflows. The data migration carries BoomTown contacts, companies, and deal records into HighLevel's Contact, Company, and Opportunity objects, preserving original timestamps, owner assignments, and all BoomTown custom field values as HighLevel custom fields. HighLevel custom objects handle any BoomTown custom objects your account uses. Drip campaigns — BoomTown's automation logic — do not migrate automatically; their trigger-and-delay sequences must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. We export BoomTown data via scoped API read access, transform field values during a staging pass, then bulk-insert into HighLevel with a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight records at cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a BoomTown 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.
BoomTown
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1BoomTown contacts map directly to HighLevel contacts. The ContactId from BoomTown is stored as Source_System_ID__c on the HighLevel contact for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. BoomTown owners are resolved by email match against HighLevel users before migration. Any BoomTown owner without a matching HighLevel user email is flagged and assigned to a designated fallback user during the migration run to prevent orphaned records.
BoomTown
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1BoomTown companies map 1:1 to HighLevel companies. Company hierarchies (parent/child) in BoomTown map to the parent_company_id field in HighLevel's Company object. Multi-contact companies are preserved as individual Company records linked by the Contact.CompanyId relationship. Parent company records must be migrated before child records to maintain referential integrity in HighLevel's database.
BoomTown
Deal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1BoomTown deals migrate as HighLevel Opportunities. Each BoomTown pipeline maps to a HighLevel Pipeline object, and BoomTown pipeline stages map to HighLevel stage names within that pipeline. Deal amount, close date, and owner are migrated as-is. Stage-entered timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields.
BoomTown
Drip Campaign
HighLevel
Workflow
1:1BoomTown drip campaigns have no automated migration path to HighLevel. FlitStack exports drip campaign definitions — trigger types, step sequences, delay intervals, and condition branches — as a structured rebuild reference document. Your HighLevel admin then recreates each campaign as a HighLevel Workflow using the reference artifacts.
BoomTown
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1BoomTown tags attach to contacts and companies. They are exported as a tag array and written to the contact's tag field in HighLevel. Tags that drive drip campaign enrollment are flagged in the migration plan so your admin can map them to HighLevel workflow triggers during rebuild.
BoomTown
Custom Field
HighLevel
Custom Field
1:1BoomTown custom fields (LeadScore, BestFitLeadType, BestFitLeadSource, etc.) are recreated as HighLevel custom fields with equivalent data types — pick-list fields for categorical values, number fields for scores, and date fields for timestamps. BoomTown's custom field metadata (field labels, types, options) is extracted from the API before migration.
BoomTown
IDX Website
HighLevel
Website (not migrated)
1:1BoomTown's IDX websites with MLS integration are hosted on BoomTown's infrastructure and are not stored as standard CRM data in its database. These websites do not export via the BoomTown API and cannot be transferred to HighLevel. Teams must rebuild IDX pages separately in HighLevel's funnel and website builder.
BoomTown
Lead Source Record
HighLevel
Custom Field on Contact
1:1BoomTown tracks lead source attribution (BestFitLeadSource) as a contact property. HighLevel has no native lead source field; this value migrates as a custom pick-list field (Lead_Source__c) on the Contact object. The original BoomTown source attribution is preserved for reporting continuity.
BoomTown
Activity Log (calls, emails, notes)
HighLevel
Activity / Task
1:1BoomTown activity history — logged calls, emails, and notes attached to contacts — migrates to HighLevel's Activity records. Original timestamps, activity type, and owner are preserved. Note bodies migrate to the HighLevel contact's note field; call summaries migrate as activity records with subject and duration.
BoomTown
Attachment / File
HighLevel
File
1:1BoomTown file attachments on contacts and companies are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel's file storage. Inline images in notes are extracted, rehosted, and the note body is updated with the new file URLs. Standard file size limits for HighLevel uploads apply (25MB per file).

IDX website content is not migratable via API
HighLevel gotchas
Sub-account architecture creates isolated data silos per client
Usage-based telecom and AI costs are not in the subscription price
Workflows have no native equivalent in most destination CRMs

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit BoomTown data and drip campaign definitions
FlitStack connects to your BoomTown account via scoped read-access API credentials and performs a full inventory of all record types — contacts, companies, deals, tags, and custom fields. We also export drip campaign definitions including trigger types, step sequences, delay intervals, enrollment conditions, and drip-specific tags. This audit produces a migration scope document that lists record counts per object, custom field definitions, pipeline names, and drip campaign logic requiring rebuild reference artifacts.
Build field mapping and HighLevel schema plan
FlitStack documents every field-level mapping between BoomTown and HighLevel, identifying direct matches, transformed fields (owner email resolution, date field formats), custom field creation requirements, and drip campaign reference artifacts. We deliver a HighLevel pre-flight checklist: custom fields to create, pipelines to set up in HighLevel before data lands, and tag-based workflow enrollment triggers to configure post-migration. BoomTown's custom fields (LeadScore, BestFitLeadType, BestFitLeadSource) require HighLevel custom field creation since no native equivalents exist.
Clean and deduplicate data before import
FlitStack runs data quality checks on the BoomTown export: identifying duplicate contacts (matched by email), records with missing required fields, malformed addresses, and BoomTown owner IDs with no corresponding HighLevel user email. Your team resolves ambiguous duplicates and provides a fallback HighLevel user for unmatched owners. Tags used in drip campaign logic are flagged for their intended HighLevel workflow trigger mapping. Cleaned data is staged in a temporary store before the test migration begins.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and records with custom fields — migrates into your live HighLevel account as a test pass. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values from BoomTown against the migrated values in HighLevel. Your team reviews lead score values, best-fit lead type mappings, tag assignments, deal stage names, and owner resolution. You approve the sample before the full migration is committed. This step catches any field mapping errors before they affect your entire database.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
FlitStack runs the full migration against your HighLevel account — contacts, companies, deals, tags, custom fields, and activity history — using BoomTown's API read access. Your team continues working in BoomTown throughout the migration. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial data load captures any contacts, deals, or tags created or modified during the cutover period. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record migrated, the field values applied, and the delta records incorporated. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
