Migrate from Clientify to HighLevel

Clientify Contacts map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address, company association, lifecycle stage) migrate as typed fields. Custom properties migrate as GoHighLevel custom fields, but picklist values must be pre-created in GoHighLevel before import or the field will reject values that do not match the destination picklist definition. Tags attached to Contacts map to GoHighLevel tags at import time.

Clientify Companies map to GoHighLevel Companies (Locations). The mapping preserves industry, size, address, website, and custom properties. A GoHighLevel Contact with a company_associated__c property links to the migrated Company record via a location lookup. Company deduplication uses domain name as the match key during import.

Clientify Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. Deal name, value, expected close date, owner, and stage migrate. The Clientify pipeline and stage assignment maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline and Stage that we configure before import. Deal-custom properties (like Closed-Won reason) migrate as Opportunity custom fields.

Clientify pipeline stage names and order migrate as GoHighLevel Pipeline stages. We read the Clientify pipeline configuration during scoping, create the matching GoHighLevel Pipeline with stages in the same sequence, and set stage probability percentages from Clientify where available. Stage-specific automation rules in Clientify must be documented for manual rebuild.

Clientify Activity records (logged calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) attach to the migrated Contact or Deal by matching the owner and timestamp. Call dispositions and durations map to GoHighLevel Task custom fields. Meeting records with attendees map to GoHighLevel calendar entries linked to the Contact. Note content migrates as GoHighLevel notes attached to the contact record. We preserve the original timestamp for activity timeline ordering.

Contact and Deal tags migrate as GoHighLevel tags. Tags used for segmentation in Clientify map to GoHighLevel tags that can drive workflow triggers post-migration. Tag count per record is preserved; tag naming is normalized to remove special characters that may cause import errors.

Clientify email templates with dynamic merge field placeholders migrate as GoHighLevel email templates. The template body text and static content transfer; dynamic field names may require remapping from Clientify variable syntax (e.g., {{contact.first_name}}) to GoHighLevel syntax (e.g., {{contact.firstName}}) during the migration transform. Template categorization and folder structure are documented for manual recreation if folder assignment does not map directly.

Clientify distinguishes Leads from Contacts as separate record types. We evaluate whether the customer wants unqualified prospects to land as GoHighLevel Contacts (for simpler management) or as GoHighLevel Leads (if they plan to use GoHighLevel's lead management features). The decision is made during scoping based on the customer's sales process. Lead score from Clientify migrates as a custom field on the destination record.

WhatsApp message threads attached to Clientify Contacts are exportable as metadata (timestamps, participant IDs, message count) but full conversation content, media attachments, and delivery receipts depend on Clientify's API exportability at migration time. We preserve available metadata as a custom field on the Contact record and flag the gap. Post-migration, the customer configures a WhatsApp Business integration in GoHighLevel (via Twilio, Channel, or Meta Business API) to resume conversation history in the new platform.

Clientify Users and Deal Owners map to GoHighLevel Users by email match. Active versus inactive status is preserved. Role-based permissions, team structures, and ownership assignments require manual configuration in GoHighLevel post-migration. Any Clientify user without a matching GoHighLevel account is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import.

Document attachments linked to Contacts, Deals, or Companies are migratable where Clientify's export includes accessible file URLs. We transfer available attachments as GoHighLevel media uploads attached to the corresponding record. Files stored outside Clientify's native file system require the customer to provide access.

Clientify workflow automation rules (triggers, conditions, actions, delays) are stored inside Clientify's proprietary workflow builder and have no portable export format. We do not migrate workflow logic. We provide a structured workflow audit worksheet during scoping that captures every active Clientify automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended GoHighLevel workflow equivalent. The customer rebuilds these manually in GoHighLevel's workflow builder post-migration.
