Overview
Moving from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales to GoHighLevel is a simplification migration — the source is an enterprise CRM built on Dataverse with complex entity relationships, unlimited custom tables on Enterprise tier, and deep Microsoft 365 integration; the destination is an agency-focused SMB platform with a flatter schema, integrated marketing and sales tools, and a unified Contact object. We extract from Dynamics 365 via the Dataverse Web API and write into GoHighLevel via its REST API, handling the schema delta at each object. Dynamics Accounts map to GoHighLevel Companies with a 1:1 relationship; Contacts map directly; Leads map into GoHighLevel Opportunities with a contact reference if qualification data exists; Opportunities map to GoHighLevel Deals with pipeline stage mapped to GHL pipeline status. We do not migrate Power Automate flows, Dataverse workflows, custom tables exceeding the Professional 15-table limit, or Dynamics reports — we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's automation builder.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales 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.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
HighLevel
Company
1:1Dynamics 365 Account maps 1:1 to GoHighLevel Company. The primary Account name becomes Company name; Address fields map directly. The primary Contact association on the Account migrates as a separate Contact record with the Company assigned. If the source Account has no primary Contact, we create a placeholder contact record with the Account's address data. Account owner maps to the GoHighLevel assigned user on the Company record.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Dynamics 365 Contact maps directly to GoHighLevel Contact. We preserve email, phone, address, job title, and the parent Account lookup as the GoHighLevel Company assignment. Contact ownership maps to the assigned user in GoHighLevel. Lifecycle stage or status fields from Dynamics custom fields become GoHighLevel Contact custom fields of the corresponding type.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
HighLevel
Contact or Opportunity
1:manyDynamics Lead requires a split decision. Leads with qualification status (qualified, converted) map to GoHighLevel Contact records with Opportunity data (deal name, estimated value, close date) created as an associated GoHighLevel Opportunity. Unqualified Leads map to GoHighLevel Contact with a lead_source custom field capturing the original Dynamics Lead source attribution. We use the leadscore and leadqualityscore custom fields from Dynamics to populate a custom field in GoHighLevel if the customer has those configured.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
HighLevel
Opportunity (Deal)
1:1Dynamics 365 Opportunity maps to GoHighLevel Opportunity. The opportunityname becomes the Deal name; estimatedvalue maps to the GoHighLevel Opportunity value field; closedate maps to the GoHighLevel Pipeline start date or custom close date field. Pipeline stage from Dynamics maps to a GoHighLevel pipeline Status value. The parent Account reference resolves to the GoHighLevel Company lookup. Loss reason and win reason from Dynamics custom fields become GoHighLevel Opportunity custom fields.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Pipeline and Stage
HighLevel
Pipeline and Stage
lossyDynamics 365 deal pipelines (defined per entity with record types and sales processes) map to GoHighLevel Pipelines. Each Dynamics stage with its probability percentage becomes a GoHighLevel Pipeline stage with a corresponding probability. We configure the GoHighLevel pipeline before migration so that stage mapping is deterministic at import time. If the Dynamics environment has more than one pipeline, we map each to a separate GoHighLevel Pipeline and note the mapping in the migration inventory.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Quote, Order, Invoice
HighLevel
Opportunity Line Items or Custom Fields
many:1Dynamics 365 Quotes, Orders, and Invoices form a document chain with line items. GoHighLevel Opportunities do not have native quote or order objects. We map Quote header fields (quote number, total amount, status) to GoHighLevel Opportunity custom fields, and the line items (product name, quantity, unit price) map to a GoHighLevel custom field or a sub-object if the customer uses GHL's product catalog. Invoice-level data maps to Opportunity custom fields. If the customer requires strict quote or invoice preservation, we document the gap and recommend GHL's built-in invoice and proposal tools as the replacement.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product and Price List
HighLevel
Product
1:1Dynamics 365 Products map to GoHighLevel Products if the customer uses GHL's product catalog. The product name, SKU (productnumber), and default price migrate. Price list assignments are not a native GoHighLevel concept; we map the default price list price as the GoHighLevel product price and flag any alternative price list prices as custom fields for the customer to manage in GHL pricing tools.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Activity (Task, Email, Appointment, Phone Call)
HighLevel
Task and Note
1:1Dynamics 365 Tasks map to GoHighLevel Tasks attached to the matching Contact or Opportunity via the email or record reference. Emails migrate as GoHighLevel Notes with an email type marker. Appointments and Phone Calls from Dynamics map to GoHighLevel Tasks with type custom fields distinguishing the activity type. The activity date and owner migrate; the owner resolves via email match to a GoHighLevel user. If the original Dynamics owner is inactive, we map to the designated migration admin account.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note and Attachment
HighLevel
Note
1:1Dynamics 365 Notes migrate as GoHighLevel Notes linked to the parent Contact or Opportunity. We extract note body as plain text and preserve the created-on timestamp. SharePoint-stored attachments from Dynamics require the customer to provide the SharePoint location; we download and attach as files to the corresponding GoHighLevel record. Attachments stored in Dataverse blob storage migrate similarly.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User and Owner
HighLevel
User
1:1Dynamics 365 Users map to GoHighLevel Users by email match. We run a pre-migration audit of all Owner IDs referenced across Account, Contact, Opportunity, and Activity records. Any Dynamics owner without a matching GoHighLevel user (inactive or unlicensed) is mapped to a designated migration admin account or an inactive-owner placeholder. The customer's GoHighLevel admin provisions users before migration begins.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales gotchas
Professional tier 15-table custom table limit blocks migrations
October 2024 pricing increase applies at renewal for all customers

White-label configuration and branding assets do not export via API
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scope audit
We audit the source Dynamics 365 environment: entity set in use (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Quotes, Orders, Products, Activities), custom table count and names, active Power Automate flows, custom fields on each entity, record volumes per entity, and any SharePoint attachment locations. We pair this with a GoHighLevel sub-account review: existing pipeline structure, custom field inventory, and user count. The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying which entities migrate, how custom fields map to GoHighLevel Contact vs Opportunity fields, and which Dynamics artifacts (workflows, custom tables, reports) are excluded with a rebuild inventory for each.
GoHighLevel schema pre-build
We coordinate with the customer's GoHighLevel admin to pre-create all required custom fields in GoHighLevel before any data import runs. This includes Contact custom fields (mapped from Dynamics Contact fields and qualified Lead fields) and Opportunity custom fields (mapped from Dynamics Opportunity fields). We also configure GoHighLevel Pipelines and stages to match the Dynamics pipeline and stage structure with probability percentages preserved. Schema pre-build is a manual step requiring the customer's admin to create fields through the GoHighLevel UI; we provide the exact field name, type, and mapping for each.
User and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Dynamics Owner referenced on Account, Contact, Opportunity, and Activity records and match by email against the existing GoHighLevel user list. Owners without a matching GoHighLevel user are placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's GoHighLevel admin provisions any missing users before record migration begins. Migration cannot proceed past this step for any entity where OwnerId is required, because GoHighLevel requires an assigned user on most record types.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a GoHighLevel staging environment using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer's admin reviews record counts for each entity, spot-checks 20-30 records against the Dynamics source for field accuracy and character encoding, and validates that pipeline stages map correctly. Any field mapping corrections, custom field gaps, or pipeline configuration issues surface here and are resolved before production migration. This step prevents data quality issues in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record dependency order: GoHighLevel Users (validated from step 3), Companies (from Dynamics Accounts), Contacts (with Company lookup resolved), Opportunities (with Contact and Company lookups resolved, pipeline stage mapped), Products, Activity history (Tasks, Emails, Notes via GoHighLevel REST API with batch chunking), and Attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The migration admin freezes Dynamics writes during the cutover window and we run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We enable GoHighLevel as the system of record after the final delta migration validates. We deliver the Power Automate and Dataverse workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide for each automation. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues reported by the sales team. We do not rebuild Dynamics Power Automate flows as GoHighLevel Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task estimated separately.
