Overview
CINC (CINC Pro and CINC Systems) is a real-estate-focused CRM built around lead generation, behavioral messaging, and team pipeline management. Its data model stores contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, and custom properties — with automations and saved searches driving follow-up sequences. HighLevel is an all-in-one CRM, marketing automation, and scheduling platform with a flat-rate subscription model (Starter $97/mo, Unlimited $297/mo, Pro Agency $497/mo) that includes unlimited contacts and sub-account management. The migration carries CINC contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and custom fields into HighLevel via API export and structured CSV import. FlitStack sequences the load so foreign-key relationships (contact-to-company, deal-to-contact) resolve correctly. Owner resolution matches CINC user emails to HighLevel user accounts. CINC behavioral data (stage history, lead score, engagement timestamps) is preserved as custom fields. Saved searches are exported as tagged filter definitions so your HighLevel admin can rebuild them as HighLevel filters. CINC automations and workflow sequences do not transfer — we deliver a structured export of every automation definition (trigger, conditions, actions, timing) as a reference document for rebuilding in HighLevel's visual workflow builder.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a CINC 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.
CINC
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1CINC contacts migrate as HighLevel contacts. The primary email address is used for identity resolution. If a CINC contact has multiple company associations, the most-recently-modified company is set as the primary, and remaining associations are preserved as tags for reference.
CINC
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1CINC companies migrate as HighLevel companies. Parent-company hierarchies are preserved via HighLevel's company relationship fields. Multi-contact companies in CINC (N:N model) are collapsed to one primary link per contact, with secondary associations surfaced as tags for reference and future reconciliation.
CINC
Lead / Lead Status
HighLevel
Contact
1:1CINC leads and lead statuses migrate as HighLevel contacts with a custom Lead_Status__c field capturing the original CINC status value. Status history timestamps are preserved in a companion custom datetime field. The original status labels are preserved exactly as they appear in CINC for downstream reporting continuity.
CINC
Deal / Pipeline Stage
HighLevel
Pipeline / Opportunity
1:1CINC deals map to HighLevel pipeline opportunities. Each CINC pipeline becomes a separate HighLevel pipeline. Deal stage names map value-by-value to HighLevel stage names. Stage enter timestamps are stored as custom datetime fields. Deal value, close date, and property address are preserved as native or custom fields on the opportunity record.
CINC
Task / Reminder
HighLevel
Task
1:1CINC tasks and reminders migrate as HighLevel tasks with original due dates, assignees (matched by email), priority flags, and completion status preserved. Completed tasks retain their status in HighLevel. Overdue tasks are flagged in the pre-flight report if the assignee email does not resolve to a HighLevel user account.
CINC
Note
HighLevel
Note
1:1CINC notes migrate as HighLevel notes attached to the parent contact or company record. Original create timestamps are preserved as a custom field since HighLevel's note CreatedDate reflects import time. Note body content is mapped directly without transformation.
CINC
Custom Properties (Contact)
HighLevel
Custom Fields
1:1CINC custom properties on contacts — such as lead score, behavioral flags, referral source, or custom dates — are recreated as HighLevel custom fields. Field type is inferred from CINC metadata (text, number, date, pick-list). Pick-list values are created as HighLevel pick-list options to maintain dropdown consistency.
CINC
Custom Properties (Deal)
HighLevel
Custom Fields
1:1CINC deal-level custom properties (e.g., property address, offer amount, contingency flags) are mapped to HighLevel custom fields on the pipeline opportunity record. Pick-list values are recreated as HighLevel pick-list options. All deal custom fields are validated against the target pipeline before import.
CINC
Automation / Sequence
HighLevel
Workflow
1:1CINC automations (triggers, conditions, email/SMS actions, delays) have no direct equivalent in HighLevel. FlitStack exports every automation definition as a structured JSON document listing trigger type, condition logic, action sequence, and timing — this serves as the rebuild reference for your HighLevel admin or certified consultant.
CINC
Saved Search
HighLevel
Contact Filter / Smart List
1:1CINC saved searches with complex filter conditions (multi-field, cross-object, date-range, tag-based) cannot be imported directly. FlitStack exports each saved search definition as a structured filter specification describing every condition, operator, and value so it can be recreated as a HighLevel contact filter or smart list.
CINC
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1CINC tags on contacts and companies migrate as HighLevel tags. Tags used in automation logic are included in the automation-export reference document so their intended behavior can be preserved when rebuilding workflows in the HighLevel workflow builder.
CINC
Owner / Agent
HighLevel
User
1:1CINC owner IDs are resolved by email match against HighLevel user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; your team either creates HighLevel accounts for them or reassigns their records to a designated fallback owner before the full migration run. No record is loaded without a confirmed HighLevel owner assignment.
CINC
Attachment / File
HighLevel
File
1:1CINC file attachments on contacts or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel Files attached to the corresponding contact record. File size limits (HighLevel supports files up to 50MB) are respected during re-upload. Original file names and CINC-created timestamps are preserved as metadata in HighLevel for audit continuity.

CINC gotchas
No audit trail for accounting transactions
Lead data export requires dashboard access
Cephai AI activity records do not export
Single-owner constraint on unit records
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
API rate limits cap bulk migration throughput at 100 requests per 10 seconds per sub-account

Migration approach
Audit CINC data model and export definitions
FlitStack connects to CINC via API (or CSV export for large record sets) and pulls the full schema: all contact fields, company fields, deal fields, custom properties, tags, owner list, and pipeline definitions. Simultaneously, we export all saved search definitions (filter logic, conditions, scheduling) and automation definitions (triggers, branches, actions) as structured JSON. This audit identifies any required custom field creation in HighLevel before data movement begins.
Set up HighLevel custom fields and pipelines
Before importing records, FlitStack creates the custom fields on HighLevel contacts, companies, and pipeline opportunities — matching CINC custom property types (text, number, pick-list, date) and recreating pick-list values. Pipeline stages are created in HighLevel to match CINC stage names and probabilities. Tags used in CINC automation logic are pre-created in HighLevel so they are available for workflow rebuild reference. This step runs in parallel with the CINC export audit.
Resolve owners by email and flag unresolved users
CINC owner IDs are matched by email against HighLevel user accounts. FlitStack generates a pre-migration owner resolution report listing matched users, unmatched CINC owners, and the target fallback owner for each unmatched record. Your team either creates HighLevel accounts for unmatched owners or confirms the fallback assignment before the full migration run. No record is loaded without a confirmed HighLevel owner assignment.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 100–300 records covering contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and notes) is migrated first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify custom field mapping, stage value mapping, owner assignment, and tag application before the full migration run commits. You approve the sample output before we proceed to the full-scale migration load.
Execute full migration with delta pickup
The full record set loads into HighLevel via sequenced API and CSV operations — companies first (for foreign-key resolution), then contacts with company links, then pipeline opportunities with contact roles and stage mapping, then tasks and notes. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after load) captures any records created or modified in CINC during the cutover window. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
Deliver automation export and saved-search reference package
Alongside the data migration, FlitStack delivers a structured JSON export of every CINC automation definition and a separate specification document for each saved search. These documents are formatted for use as a rebuild checklist by your HighLevel admin or a HighLevel-certified consultant. The package includes trigger types, condition logic, action sequences with timing metadata, and associated tag dependencies for complete workflow reconstruction.
