Overview
Moving from Friday CRM to GoHighLevel is a capability escalation, not just a record copy. Friday CRM operates as a permanently free, single-tier platform with no mobile app, limited API documentation, and basic pipeline tracking. GoHighLevel is a $97-per-month agency and SaaS platform combining CRM, sales funnels, multi-channel automation (email, SMS, voicemail drops), calendars, and client communication. We use Friday CRM's Settings-based CSV export as the primary migration path because the platform has no publicly documented API rate limits or bulk endpoints. We map Companies to GoHighLevel Organizations, Contacts to GoHighLevel Contacts, Deals to Opportunities with pipeline stage mapping, and handle Friday CRM's nine custom field types (radio, multiple checkboxes, single checkbox, dropdown, text, number, date, URL, multi-line) by converting them to GoHighLevel's supported field types. We do not migrate automations, workflows, integrations (Gmail, Mailchimp, RingCentral OAuth tokens), or attachments since Friday CRM exposes none of these through its documented export. We deliver a written inventory of every pipeline stage and tag requiring recreation in GoHighLevel so the customer's team can rebuild automation logic 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 Friday 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.
Friday CRM
Company
HighLevel
Organization
1:1Friday CRM Company records map to GoHighLevel Organizations. We use Company name as the dedupe key during import. Friday CRM custom fields defined on the Company object carry over with semantic type mapping: text fields map directly, number fields map to Number type, date fields map to Date type, and URL fields map to Website or Link type. Radio select fields convert to GoHighLevel dropdown fields, and multiple checkbox fields split into separate boolean custom fields or map to a comma-separated text field depending on the customer's preference.
Friday CRM
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Friday CRM Contact records map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map 1:1. Friday CRM custom fields on Contact objects map using the same type-conversion logic as Company custom fields. Contact-Company relationships preserve as GoHighLevel Contact-Organization lookups. We resolve the Organization reference before inserting Contacts to satisfy the lookup dependency.
Friday CRM
Deal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Friday CRM Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. Deal value maps to Opportunity Amount. Deal stage maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline stage, and we configure the destination Pipeline in GoHighLevel before migration using the stage names and order from Friday CRM. Custom fields on Deals map using the same semantic type conversion applied to Contacts and Companies.

Pipeline Stage
lossyFriday CRM kanban pipeline stages map to GoHighLevel Pipeline stages by display order and label. We create the GoHighLevel Pipeline during migration setup using the exact stage names from Friday CRM. If the customer requires a different stage count or naming convention in GoHighLevel, we document the mapping during scoping and apply it as a transformation during the data load.
Friday CRM
Custom Fields (all objects)
HighLevel
Custom Fields
lossyFriday CRM supports nine custom field types applied independently to Companies, Contacts, or Deals. GoHighLevel supports custom field types including Text, Number, Date, Phone, Email, URL, Dropdown, Multi-Select, Checkbox, and Currency. We perform type mapping: Friday CRM radio select becomes GoHighLevel dropdown, Friday CRM multiple checkboxes split into separate boolean fields or become a comma-separated text field, and single checkboxes map to GoHighLevel Checkbox. We confirm each semantic conversion with the customer before applying it.
Friday CRM
Notes / Activities
HighLevel
Activity / Notes
1:1Friday CRM notes linked to Contacts and Deals migrate as GoHighLevel Activity records with type = Note. We preserve note body text and the original creation timestamp, and link each activity to the correct parent Contact or Opportunity using the Friday CRM relationship metadata. Activity sequence ordering is preserved by setting the GoHighLevel Activity date to the original Friday CRM timestamp.
Friday CRM
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Friday CRM tags on Contacts and Deals appear as comma-separated values or array fields in the CSV export. We parse, deduplicate, and apply tags to the corresponding GoHighLevel Contact or Opportunity records using GoHighLevel's tag API. Tag names with special characters are sanitized to GoHighLevel's allowed format. Tags used for segmentation or workflow triggers are flagged for recreation in GoHighLevel Workflows.
Friday CRM
Attachments
HighLevel
Files
1:1Friday CRM does not expose file attachments via its documented CSV export or public API. We flag this limitation upfront during scoping and recommend that the customer exports any important attachments manually through the Friday CRM UI before the migration window. We do not migrate attachment URLs or file links as GoHighLevel Files because the source file storage is outside the migratable data surface.

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.
Friday CRM gotchas
No mobile app means no mobile access during migration cutover
CSV export may not capture full activity history
Custom field types may require reconfiguration in destination CRM
No documented API rate limits or bulk endpoints
Integrations must be re-established manually in destination CRM
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 Friday CRM data audit
We audit the Friday CRM account through the Settings-based CSV export and review the exported file contents against the platform's known object model (Companies, Contacts, Deals, Notes, Tags). We identify which custom fields are present on each object, note the field types, and flag any data volume estimates for Contacts, Companies, Deals, Notes, and Tags. We also ask the customer to manually export any file attachments and confirm any active integrations (Gmail, Mailchimp, RingCentral) that require rebuild. The discovery output is a written scope confirming migration objects, custom field mapping, and any data that cannot be extracted from Friday CRM.
GoHighLevel environment setup and schema pre-configuration
We create the GoHighLevel Pipeline matching Friday CRM's stage names and order. We configure custom fields in GoHighLevel for each object using the mapped field types (radio select to dropdown, multiple checkboxes to boolean fields, single checkboxes to Checkbox type). If the customer requires multiple pipelines or record type scoping in GoHighLevel, we configure that during this step. The schema is built in the customer's live GoHighLevel sub-account or a Sandbox if they request a validation pass first.
Data extraction and transformation
We parse the Friday CRM CSV export files and apply the transformation logic: Company and Contact records deduplicated by email or name, Deal records linked to their parent Contact and Company, Notes attached to the correct parent record, and Tags parsed and deduplicated. Custom field values are converted to GoHighLevel types during this step. We produce a transformation manifest listing every field, its Friday CRM value, its GoHighLevel target field, and the conversion rule applied.
Validation import into GoHighLevel
We run a validation import using a subset of records (typically 50-100 per object type) to confirm that field mapping is correct, lookup resolution works, custom field values display as expected, and pipeline stages render correctly. We share a reconciliation report with the customer showing record counts and a spot-check of five records per object type against the Friday CRM source. Any mapping corrections happen in this step before the full migration begins.
Full migration and reconciliation
We run the full migration in dependency order: Organizations (from Companies) first, then Contacts with Organization lookups resolved, then Opportunities with Contact and Organization lookups resolved, then Notes and Tags. Each object phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. After all phases complete, we deliver a final reconciliation showing total records migrated per object, any records skipped with reason, and the complete transformation manifest for the customer's records.
Cutover and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Friday CRM writes during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the final window, and confirm GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver the written automation rebuild inventory documenting every use case that requires a GoHighLevel Workflow, including triggers, conditions, and recommended action sequences. We do not rebuild automations as part of standard migration scope. We offer a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first week of GoHighLevel use.
