Overview

What this migration involves

CRUMP CRM is a verticalised layer on Microsoft Dynamics 365, and data export is governed by Dynamics 365 licensing tiers and endpoint availability rather than a public REST API. We connect to the org's Dynamics 365 instance directly, enumerate active entities, and pull Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tickets, and Projects in dependency order before mapping to GoHighLevel's Contact, Company, Opportunity, and custom object equivalents. The GoHighLevel flat-rate model (Starter $97/mo, Unlimited $297/mo, Agency Pro $497/mo with unlimited users) contrasts with CRUMP CRM's $75 per user per month that compounds beyond 20 seats. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or sequences as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's workflow builder. Projects and custom Dynamics 365 entities require individual schema mapping because no two Dynamics 365 deployments share the same custom field configuration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

CRUMP CRM logo

CRUMP CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep licensing cost at $75 per user per month compounds quickly for teams beyond 20 seats, making the all-in-one pitch expensive at scale.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which introduces Microsoft enterprise complexity — licensing tiers, CAL requirements, and admin overhead — that many SMB teams did not anticipate.
  • Being a niche vertical CRM, the community, third-party integrations, and migration tooling are far thinner than mainstream platforms like HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Lack of transparent tiered feature differentiation on the website makes it unclear what each paid tier unlocks, leading to sticker shock when upgrading.
  • Smaller vendor footprint means fewer third-party connectors, forcing teams into custom API work for common integrations.

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 CRUMP CRM objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a CRUMP CRM 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.

CRUMP CRM

Contact

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Contacts in CRUMP CRM export as standard Dynamics 365 Contact records and map directly to GoHighLevel Contact records. All standard fields—full name, email address, phone number, postal address, and owner assignment—migrate as typed fields. We deduplicate by email match during import. Custom properties on Contact records require explicit enumeration because every Dynamics 365 deployment carries different custom fields.

CRUMP CRM

Account (Company)

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Accounts in CRUMP CRM correspond to Companies in GoHighLevel. The parent-child hierarchy present in Dynamics 365 Accounts maps to GoHighLevel's Company hierarchy. We preserve the parent Company reference and relink Contact records to their parent Company during import so the relationship graph is intact at destination.

CRUMP CRM

Deal

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. The deal name, estimated value, close date, and pipeline stage transfer. Stage names from Dynamics 365 require explicit mapping to GoHighLevel pipeline stages because the naming conventions differ between the two platforms. We configure the GoHighLevel pipeline with the customer's existing stage names before import so the data lands in the correct column.

CRUMP CRM

Deal Stage

maps to

HighLevel

Pipeline Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Each Dynamics 365 deal stage maps to a GoHighLevel pipeline stage with the customer's existing stage labels preserved. GoHighLevel supports multiple pipelines from Starter tier, so if the source CRUMP CRM org used multiple deal categories, we replicate those as separate GoHighLevel pipelines rather than collapsing them into one.

CRUMP CRM

Ticket (Case)

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM helpdesk tickets export from Dynamics 365 as Case records. We map them to GoHighLevel Task records with a custom ticket tag so they are identifiable in the destination. Ticket status (Open, Pending, Resolved, Closed), priority, and linked Contact reference migrate. The ticket thread or conversation history migrates as a Task note or series of linked notes if the customer requires it.

CRUMP CRM

Project

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Projects in CRUMP CRM live in a distinct Dynamics 365 Project Management module and do not have a native GoHighLevel equivalent. We create a GoHighLevel custom object named Projects and map project fields including project name, status, start and end dates, assigned team members, and budget. Task-level detail within projects may require a separate task export pass and manual linkage depending on the complexity of the source project structure.

CRUMP CRM

Invoice

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object or Opportunity Note

lossy
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM invoicing records export with line items, totals, and payment status. GoHighLevel Payments handles transaction recording rather than full accounting-cycle invoicing. We map invoice records to a custom Invoice object or attach them as notes on the related Opportunity depending on the customer's reporting needs. Accounting-system parity is not guaranteed; the customer reviews invoice migration scope during scoping.

CRUMP CRM

Task

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Tasks exist across multiple modules in CRUMP CRM—CRM tasks, project tasks, and helpdesk tasks. We deduplicate by subject and due date, label each task by its origin module, and import into GoHighLevel Tasks with subject, due date, status, priority, and assigned user preserved. CRM insights from web research confirm that Tasks are among the most frequently lost record types in CRM-to-GoHighLevel migrations; we handle them explicitly.

CRUMP CRM

Note

maps to

HighLevel

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Notes attached to Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Tickets export as Dynamics 365 Note records. We migrate them to GoHighLevel Notes attached to the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record. Rich-text formatting is preserved where the target field supports it. CRM migration guides consistently flag Notes as a data-loss risk; we run a dedicated notes pass after the main record import.

CRUMP CRM

User

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

CRUMP CRM user accounts and their role assignments map to GoHighLevel Users. We resolve by email match and preserve role labels as GoHighLevel team member tags. Inactive CRUMP CRM users are archived rather than imported to avoid ghost records. The GoHighLevel user provisioning happens before record import so that OwnerId references are satisfied at insert time.

CRUMP CRM

Custom Object

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Custom entities created on top of Dynamics 365 are enumerated during the audit phase. Each custom object and its fields are documented, mapped to GoHighLevel custom objects, and pre-created in the destination before any data import. Since no two Dynamics 365 deployments share the same custom entity schema, this is handled case-by-case rather than through a generic template.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Dynamics 365 licensing tier gates API access

    CRUMP CRM is a layer on Microsoft Dynamics 365, and data export is governed by the Dynamics 365 license assigned to the source org. Lower-tier licenses may restrict which entities are accessible via the web API or enforce per-user API call limits. We audit the source org's licence type during scoping and flag any entities that fall outside the licence scope before the migration plan is finalised. This is a CRUMP CRM-specific constraint that applies regardless of the destination platform.

  • No publicly documented API endpoint or developer portal

    Unlike GoHighLevel, which publishes a public REST API with v2 endpoints and OAuth 2.0, CRUMP CRM does not publish a public API reference. Migration relies on accessing the underlying Dynamics 365 instance directly, which requires credentials with sufficient privileges and may require partner-level access. We obtain Dynamics 365 admin credentials or a service account with read permissions as part of the onboarding checklist before migration begins.

  • Notes and tasks are the most commonly lost record types in CRM-to-GoHighLevel migrations

    Multiple GoHighLevel migration guides and community discussions identify Notes and Tasks as the records most likely to be dropped or mishandled during import. GoHighLevel's import interface handles Contacts and Opportunities natively but requires explicit handling for notes attached to multiple parent records and tasks with cross-module origins. We run dedicated passes for both object types with deduplication and parent-link resolution.

  • Custom Dynamics 365 entity schemas require individual audit

    CRUMP CRM deployments carry unique custom entities and fields built on top of the base Dynamics 365 schema. There is no standard mapping template for these because every org's custom object configuration differs. We enumerate every active custom entity during the scoping audit, document each field and its data type, and create a per-entity mapping specification before any data moves. This step adds time but prevents field-mismatch errors at import.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful CRUMP CRM to HighLevel data migration

  1. Onboarding and Dynamics 365 credentialing

    We collect Dynamics 365 admin credentials or a service account with read permissions on the CRUMP CRM org. We verify API access scope, enumerate the active modules (CRM, Helpdesk, Project Management, Invoicing), and pull the full entity list to identify standard and custom objects. We also obtain GoHighLevel API credentials with appropriate access to Contacts, Opportunities, Pipelines, and custom objects. The onboarding call confirms record volume estimates and flags any modules that are inactive in the source so we do not import empty containers.

  2. Source audit and schema enumeration

    We run a full export of the Dynamics 365 entity metadata including all standard fields and custom fields for Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tickets, Projects, Tasks, Notes, Users, and Invoices. We also pull a record count per entity to size the migration. For custom entities, we document every field label, data type, and lookup relationship. The audit output is a written Source Schema Report that the customer reviews and signs off before mapping begins.

  3. Destination schema setup in GoHighLevel

    We configure the GoHighLevel destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom objects that have no native GoHighLevel equivalent (Projects, custom Invoices), configuring pipeline stages to match the Dynamics 365 deal stages, creating custom fields to receive non-standard Dynamics 365 properties, and provisioning the GoHighLevel team member accounts to match the CRUMP CRM user list. Schema setup happens in a GoHighLevel sub-account used exclusively for migration so it can be reset if the mapping needs adjustment.

  4. Record migration in dependency order

    We run the migration in record-dependency order: Users (GoHighLevel team members, resolved by email match), Companies (from Dynamics 365 Accounts with parent hierarchy preserved), Contacts (with CompanyId resolved), Opportunities (with ContactId and CompanyId resolved), Tickets (as Tasks with ticket tag), custom object records (Projects, custom Invoices), then Notes and Tasks last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use GoHighLevel's bulk import API with chunking and retry logic to handle rate limits.

  5. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze CRUMP CRM writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration run, then deliver a Migration Completion Report with record counts per object, any records that failed import with error reasons, and a field-mapping reference document. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or sequences as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Dynamics 365 workflow or automation with its trigger, conditions, and recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent, and the customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

CRUMP CRM logo

CRUMP CRM

Source

Strengths

  • Bundles CRM, helpdesk, invoicing, project management, and team chat into a single subscription.
  • Per-user pricing model is transparent and easy to budget for growing teams.
  • Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, providing a structured relational schema under the hood.
  • G2 rating of 4.3 out of 5 indicates acceptable usability for the target SMB segment.
  • Positions itself explicitly against both overbuilt enterprise CRMs and underbaked startup tools.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing of $75 per user per month scales expensively beyond 20–30 seat teams.
  • Niche market position means limited third-party migration tooling, community support, and integrator familiarity.
  • Built on Dynamics 365, which carries Microsoft enterprise licensing complexity that many SMB buyers do not anticipate.
  • No publicly documented API or developer documentation makes self-service migration difficult.
  • Feature tier differentiation is not clearly published, creating upgrade uncertainty.

HighLevel

Destination

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.
