Overview
Digital Signup organizes data around registration events — registrants, class sections, facility slots, waiver acceptances, and payment records form the core data model. HighLevel organizes data around ongoing client relationships — Contacts carry contact details and tags, Opportunities track deals through pipelines, and custom objects handle anything that doesn't fit the standard model. The migration must therefore translate each Digital Signup registrant into a HighLevel Contact, map class sections and facilities to custom objects with the right field types, and preserve enrollment history and payment status as custom fields or activity logs. Workflows and automation sequences built in HighLevel require a rebuild plan based on your current Digital Signup enrollment logic. FlitStack AI sequences the migration using HighLevel's Bulk API for contacts and custom object imports, with field-level validation before final commit. The migration workflow starts with a data audit that inventories all modules, custom fields, and relationships. Based on that inventory, a schema specification is created for Class and Facility custom objects, including relationship fields to Contacts and Opportunities. The actual data load follows a dependency order: instructors first, then facilities, then class sections, then registrants, and finally enrollment Opportunities. This ordering ensures that all lookup fields resolve at import time. A test run on a sample set validates field mapping, after which the full migration proceeds with a delta-pickup window to capture any in-flight changes.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Digital Signup 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.
Digital Signup
Registrant
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Digital Signup registrants map directly to HighLevel Contacts. Name, email, phone, and address fields transfer as standard Contact fields. A unique Email address is required for HighLevel contact creation; registrants without email require a custom field flag for manual follow-up.
Digital Signup
Class Section
HighLevel
Custom Object (Class)
1:1Digital Signup class sections (e.g., 'Fall Yoga 2026 – Mon 9am') have no native HighLevel equivalent. FlitStack creates a Class custom object with fields for section name, scheduled dates, instructor, and capacity. Class custom objects link to HighLevel Contacts via a relationship field to track enrollment.
Digital Signup
Enrollment Record
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Each Digital Signup enrollment record (registrant + class section combination) becomes a HighLevel Opportunity. The Opportunity Name uses the format 'Registrant Name – Class Section'. Pipeline stages represent enrollment status: Registered, Waitlisted, Attended, Cancelled. Additionally, the Opportunity amount field may be populated with the enrollment fee if available, and custom fields capture payment status, waitlist position, and any enrollment notes to preserve the full registration context.
Digital Signup
Enrollment Status
HighLevel
Opportunity Stage
1:1Digital Signup enrollment statuses (Registered, Waitlisted, Cancelled, No-Show) map to HighLevel Opportunity stage values. Each pipeline stage carries probability percentages for attendance forecasting. Stage names and probabilities are configurable per pipeline. These stage probabilities inform sales forecasts and help managers allocate resources, such as instructor hours and room capacity, based on expected enrollment levels.
Digital Signup
Facility / Room
HighLevel
Custom Object (Facility)
1:1Digital Signup facilities and rooms have no HighLevel equivalent. A Facility custom object captures facility name, address, room count, and equipment notes. Facilities link to Class custom objects via a relationship field for location tracking. This setup allows staff to see which classes are held at which locations and helps with scheduling conflicts across multiple venues.
Digital Signup
Payment Record
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Contact / Opportunity
many:1Payment status (Paid, Pending, Refunded) and amount from Digital Signup merge into two destinations: a payment_status__c custom field on the Contact record and payment_amount__c on the related Opportunity. Payment history log stored as a JSON-formatted text custom field on the Opportunity for audit continuity.
Digital Signup
Waiver / Policy Acceptance
HighLevel
Custom Field + Attachment on Contact
1:1Digital Signup waiver acceptance (yes/no + waiver name + acceptance date) migrates as a waiver_accepted__c custom field (checkbox) and waiver_name__c (text) on the Contact. The signed waiver PDF, if exported from Digital Signup, reattaches to the HighLevel Contact record as a HighLevel File.
Digital Signup
Family / Group Enrollment
HighLevel
Custom Object (Family) + Contact Relationship
many:1When Digital Signup records show multiple registrants under one transaction (family enrollment), FlitStack creates a Family custom object and links all related Contact records via a Family custom relationship. This preserves the household grouping without requiring a native group-contact model in HighLevel.
Digital Signup
Tag / Category (class type)
HighLevel
Tag on Contact
1:1Digital Signup class categories and tags (e.g., 'Youth Soccer', 'Senior Fitness', 'After-School Care') transfer as HighLevel Tags on each Contact. Tags drive workflow segmentation for enrollment reminders and future campaign targeting. These tags also enable filtering in pipeline reports, helping managers identify enrollment trends by program type and adjust marketing efforts accordingly.
Digital Signup
Instructor / Staff Record
HighLevel
Contact (with role flag)
1:1Digital Signup instructor and staff records map to HighLevel Contacts with an is_instructor__c checkbox custom field and a contact_type__c pick-list set to 'Instructor'. Instructor contacts link to Class custom objects via the instructor relationship field. This designation allows managers to assign instructors to specific class sessions and to filter contact lists for staff-only communications or reporting.
Digital Signup
Waitlist Position
HighLevel
Custom Field on Opportunity
1:1Digital Signup waitlist position (integer rank per class) has no native HighLevel equivalent. A waitlist_position__c custom number field on the Opportunity captures the rank. When a spot opens, workflows in HighLevel can trigger outreach to the contact in waitlist position 1.
Digital Signup
Historical Attendance Record
HighLevel
Task / Activity Log on Contact
1:1Past class attendance data from Digital Signup migrates as completed Task records on the HighLevel Contact, with Subject='Attended: [Class Section Name]' and Activity Date matching the original class date. This preserves attendance history for reporting continuity. The tasks are linked to the related Opportunity and Class records, allowing users to view attendance history in context and to trigger follow-up actions based on participation patterns.

Migration approach
Audit Digital Signup modules and export data structure
FlitStack AI inventories all active Digital Signup modules in use — Class Registration, Facility Management, School Aged Child Care — and catalogs the record counts, custom fields, and enrollment relationships. We export registrant records, class sections, facilities, instructors, waiver records, and payment history as structured CSV files. This audit identifies which modules require custom objects on the HighLevel side and flags any records with missing email addresses (which require a manual flag for follow-up in HighLevel). The audit output is a data inventory document shared with your team before any mapping begins.
Design HighLevel custom object schema for classes and facilities
Based on the Digital Signup data audit, FlitStack delivers a schema specification for the Class custom object (section name, start/end dates, capacity, enrolled count, instructor lookup, facility lookup) and the Facility custom object (name, address, room count). Your HighLevel admin creates these objects and fields before migration using Settings > Custom Fields. We also define the Opportunity pipeline stages that mirror Digital Signup enrollment statuses (Registered, Waitlisted, Attended, Cancelled) and set stage probability percentages for forecasting. This step runs in parallel with data extraction and typically takes 1–2 days of admin time.
Import instructors and facilities first, then registrants, then enrollments
HighLevel requires that lookup relationships resolve at import time — contacts cannot link to a custom object record that does not yet exist. We therefore sequence the migration: (1) instructors import as Contacts with is_instructor__c flag set; (2) facilities import as Facility custom object records; (3) class sections import as Class custom object records with instructor and facility relationship fields populated; (4) registrants import as Contacts with all standard fields; (5) enrollment Opportunities import with Contact lookup and Class relationship fields. This dependency chain prevents orphaned relationships and ensures each Opportunity correctly links a registrant to a class section.
Run a sample migration of 200–500 records with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first: a mix of registrants across different class sections, some with waitlist positions, some with payments, some with waivers. We generate a field-level diff comparing source CSV values to destination HighLevel field values, highlighting any mapping gaps (e.g., a waiver acceptance that failed to set the checkbox, a waitlist position that landed as null). You review the diff and approve before the full run commits. This step also validates that HighLevel pipeline stage mapping and custom object relationship fields resolve correctly at scale.
Full migration run with delta-pickup window and rollback plan
The full dataset migrates to HighLevel using the sequenced import strategy from Step 3. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial run captures any Digital Signup records modified or created during the cutover period. FlitStack AI generates a migration audit log listing every record imported, every relationship resolved, and any records that failed with error reasons. If reconciliation reveals gaps, a one-click rollback reverts the HighLevel environment to its pre-migration state so the team can re-plan and re-run without data residue.
