Overview
Moving from eSalesTrack to GoHighLevel is a platform upgrade that consolidates CRM, pipeline management, marketing automation, and appointment scheduling into a single platform. eSalesTrack organizes data around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities with basic pipeline stage management and CSV-based export; GoHighLevel uses a unified Contact model tied to Companies, with Pipelines and Deals as the deal-tracking layer and a visual workflow builder for automations. We extract the full eSalesTrack record set via CSV export, transform standard field names to GoHighLevel's schema, and insert via GoHighLevel's Contacts and Pipeline APIs. Pipeline stages map to GoHighLevel pipeline stages and Deal statuses. We do not migrate eSalesTrack workflow automation as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation with a GoHighLevel workflow equivalent recommendation for your admin to rebuild post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a eSalesTrack 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.
eSalesTrack
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1eSalesTrack Contact records map directly to GoHighLevel Contact. The Contact's email address serves as the primary dedupe key. We resolve any eSalesTrack owner_id references against GoHighLevel User records by email match. Unmatched owners are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision GoHighLevel team members before record insert resumes. Contact phone, address, and custom properties map to GoHighLevel custom fields which we pre-create during schema setup.
eSalesTrack
Account
HighLevel
Company
1:1eSalesTrack Account records map to GoHighLevel Company. The Account name becomes the Company name, and the Account domain or website URL becomes the Company website field. Company is inserted before Contact import so that the Contact-to-Company relationship (the contact belonging to a specific Company) is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
eSalesTrack
Lead
HighLevel
Contact (tagged as lead source)
1:1eSalesTrack Lead records do not have a direct GoHighLevel equivalent because GoHighLevel does not maintain a separate Lead object by default. We migrate eSalesTrack Leads as GoHighLevel Contacts with a custom tag or custom field (lead_source__c) set to the original eSalesTrack Lead source. This preserves the lead capture context without requiring a separate object in GoHighLevel. The customer can configure a GoHighLevel pipeline and workflow to handle lead-stage progression if needed post-migration.
eSalesTrack
Opportunity
HighLevel
Deal (Pipeline)
1:1eSalesTrack Opportunity records map to GoHighLevel Deals. The Opportunity name becomes the Deal name, and the eSalesTrack deal amount and close date map to GoHighLevel Deal value and close date fields. The eSalesTrack pipeline and stage assignment maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline that we configure during schema setup, with stage names and probabilities aligned to the original eSalesTrack pipeline structure. Deal owner resolves by email against GoHighLevel Users.
eSalesTrack
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline (GoHighLevel)
lossyeSalesTrack pipelines with their stage names and stage order migrate to GoHighLevel Pipeline configuration. Each eSalesTrack pipeline becomes a separate GoHighLevel Pipeline board with stages that match the original stage names. Stage probability percentages (if present in eSalesTrack) transfer to GoHighLevel stage probability fields. Pipeline is configured in GoHighLevel before Deal import begins so that Deals can be assigned to the correct pipeline during migration.
eSalesTrack
Owner/User
HighLevel
User
1:1eSalesTrack Owner records map to GoHighLevel User accounts. We match by email address (the standard identifier in both platforms). If a GoHighLevel User account does not exist for an eSalesTrack Owner, the Owner is flagged in the reconciliation report with the action required: provision a GoHighLevel User with that email address before re-running the migration phase. Owner assignment on Deals and Contacts resolves after User matching is confirmed.
eSalesTrack
Engagement: Call
HighLevel
Activity (Call)
1:1eSalesTrack call logs map to GoHighLevel Activity records with type set to Call. Call duration, disposition, and outcome migrate to GoHighLevel Activity fields. The Activity is linked to the parent Contact or Deal using GoHighLevel's relationship model. We preserve the original timestamp so the activity timeline reflects the actual call date.
eSalesTrack
Engagement: Email
HighLevel
Activity (Email)
1:1eSalesTrack email engagement records map to GoHighLevel Activity records with type set to Email. Email subject and body migrate to the Activity content field. The Activity is linked to the parent Contact. If eSalesTrack captures email direction (sent or received), we preserve that as a custom field or activity tag. Email attachments migrate as notes linked to the activity.
eSalesTrack
Engagement: Note
HighLevel
Note
1:1eSalesTrack Notes attach to the parent record (Contact, Account, or Opportunity) and migrate to GoHighLevel Note records. We link each Note to the corresponding Contact or Deal using GoHighLevel's object relationship. Note content and creation date preserve. Notes from engagement-type records that have no direct GoHighLevel equivalent attach to the related Contact for timeline visibility.
eSalesTrack
Custom Field
HighLevel
Custom Field
lossyeSalesTrack custom fields on Contact, Account, and Opportunity migrate to GoHighLevel custom fields. We pre-create the GoHighLevel custom fields during schema setup, matching field type where possible (text to text, number to number, date to date, picklist to dropdown). Any eSalesTrack custom fields that do not have a native GoHighLevel equivalent are created as text fields and flagged in the mapping document for the customer to review post-migration for potential re-typing or re-configuration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
eSalesTrack gotchas
Implementation, training, customisation, and migration are billed separately
Custom object support is not publicly documented
Reporting templates are fixed — advanced analytics require external BI
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
White-label configuration and branding assets do not export via API
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export planning
We audit the eSalesTrack account to identify all active objects (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities), pipeline structures, custom fields, and owner assignments. We work with the customer's eSalesTrack admin to execute a complete CSV export covering all required records and fields. If eSalesTrack engagement logging (calls, emails, notes) is captured within the CRM rather than a separate system, we include those in the export scope. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a source-field inventory, and a GoHighLevel plan recommendation based on the customer's team size and automation needs.
GoHighLevel schema and pipeline configuration
We configure GoHighLevel before any data is inserted. This includes creating custom fields that match eSalesTrack's custom field names and types, setting up Pipelines with stages that correspond to each eSalesTrack pipeline, and provisioning GoHighLevel Users for every eSalesTrack Owner identified in the data. If eSalesTrack Leads are present, we create a lead-tracking custom field on the Contact object. Schema configuration is validated in the GoHighLevel sandbox or trial environment before production migration begins.
Data transformation and field mapping
We transform the eSalesTrack CSV exports into GoHighLevel-compatible import format. The mapping covers standard fields (Contact name, email, phone, address; Account name and website; Opportunity name, amount, close date) and custom fields (mapped to the GoHighLevel custom fields created in Step 2). Owner email addresses resolve to GoHighLevel User IDs via a lookup table built during the User provisioning phase. The transformation emits a row-count report and a field-level mapping document for customer review.
Staged import in dependency order
We insert records into GoHighLevel in dependency order: Companies first (Accounts from eSalesTrack), then Contacts with Company links resolved, then Deals with pipeline and owner assignments resolved. Engagement records (calls, emails, notes) insert last, linked to their parent Contact or Deal. Each phase emits a reconciliation report showing the number of records inserted, the number skipped due to missing required fields, and the number held in the Owner reconciliation queue. No phase begins until the previous phase has a clean reconciliation.
Cutover and delta sync
We freeze writes to eSalesTrack during the cutover window, run a final delta export capturing any records modified during the migration, and apply those changes to GoHighLevel. GoHighLevel becomes the system of record once the delta sync completes. We validate record counts and spot-check 25-50 records against the source before declaring the migration complete. The automation inventory document is delivered at cutover.
Automation inventory handoff and post-migration support
We deliver the written automation inventory covering every active eSalesTrack workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues raised during the first week of live GoHighLevel use. We do not rebuild eSalesTrack automations as GoHighLevel Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
