Overview
Function 365 and HighLevel both organize data around contacts, companies, and deals, but their underlying data models diverge significantly in how they handle pipelines, automations, and marketing-specific attributes. Function 365 stores deal-stage history and contact scores as native fields; HighLevel uses Opportunities with stage pick-lists and Tags for behavioral labeling. The migration carries all standard objects (contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, users) plus any custom fields into HighLevel's corresponding objects. FlitStack AI sequences the migration by resolving foreign keys first — companies into Businesses, then contacts linked by company_id, then deals linked to contacts and companies — before running a sample migration with field-level diff. Workflows, sequences, and automation logic do not transfer; we export workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for HighLevel's Workflow builder. The migration uses scoped read access on Function 365 so your team keeps working during cutover, with a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes before final reconciliation.
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 Function 365 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.
Function 365
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Function 365 contact records map directly to HighLevel contacts. Every contact field (name, email, phone, address) transfers as-is. Contacts linked to companies use the company_id lookup — we ensure the company record exists in HighLevel before contacts land so the relationship is preserved.
Function 365
Company / Organization
HighLevel
Business
1:1Function 365 company records map to HighLevel businesses. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, annual revenue, phone, and address fields transfer to the matching HighLevel business fields. Multi-location companies from Function 365 become multiple Business records, each tagged to preserve location grouping within HighLevel.
Function 365
Deal / Opportunity
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Function 365 deals with stage, amount, close date, and owner map to HighLevel Opportunities. The critical transformation is mapping Function 365 deal stages to HighLevel pipeline stage pick-lists — each distinct stage value in Function 365 requires a corresponding stage in the target HighLevel pipeline before mapping can proceed.
Function 365
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline
1:1Function 365 pipelines map to HighLevel pipelines 1:1. Each pipeline in Function 365 becomes a separate pipeline in HighLevel with its own set of stage values. We extract all pipeline names and stage definitions from Function 365 before creating the corresponding pipeline structure in HighLevel.
Function 365
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1Function 365 tasks migrate to HighLevel tasks with subject, due date, assigned user, and completion status preserved. The original task owner is resolved by email match against HighLevel users. Open tasks in Function 365 land as open tasks in HighLevel; completed tasks retain their completion timestamps.
Function 365
Note / Annotation
HighLevel
Note
1:1Function 365 notes map to HighLevel notes with body text, associated contact or deal link, and creation timestamp preserved. Rich-text formatting in Function 365 notes is simplified to plain text in HighLevel notes. Notes without a parent record attach to the contact specified in the migration plan.
Function 365
User / Staff
HighLevel
User
1:1Function 365 user records resolve to HighLevel users by email address. Active users in Function 365 become active users in HighLevel. Inactive or archived users are flagged for review — they can be invited to HighLevel before migration or assigned as a fallback owner for records where the original assignee does not exist in HighLevel.
Function 365
Custom Field Data
HighLevel
Custom Field
1:1Any custom fields on contacts, companies, or deals in Function 365 require a corresponding custom field to be created in HighLevel before migration. We extract the full custom-field schema — field name, data type, pick-list values — and create matching custom fields in HighLevel as part of the pre-migration setup phase.
Function 365
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Function 365 tags applied to contacts or companies migrate as HighLevel tags. Tags represent behavioral or categorical labels (e.g., 'hot-lead', 'enterprise') and transfer as a flat list. If a contact in Function 365 has multiple tags, all of them are applied to the corresponding HighLevel contact.
Function 365
Quote / Estimate
HighLevel
Not Available
1:1Function 365 quotes or estimates do not have a native equivalent in HighLevel's base CRM. Quotes migrate as attachments linked to the Opportunity record, preserving the document content for reference. HighLevel's Products feature can be used to recreate line items manually after migration.
Function 365
Activity / Engagement History
HighLevel
Activity
1:1Call logs, emails, and meeting records from Function 365 surface as activity entries linked to the contact in HighLevel. Each activity type (call, email, meeting) maps to its corresponding HighLevel activity type. Original timestamps and activity owners are preserved in the migration.
Function 365
Workflow / Automation
HighLevel
Workflow
1:1Workflows and automation rules in Function 365 do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow builder. We export a machine-readable summary of your Function 365 workflow definitions (trigger events, conditions, actions) as a rebuild reference so your team can reconstruct each automation in HighLevel with equivalent logic.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Function 365 schema and extract pipeline and custom-field definitions
Before moving any data, we extract the full schema from Function 365 — all object definitions, custom field names and types, pipeline names and stage values, and user list. We cross-reference this against HighLevel's native schema to identify which fields map directly, which require value mapping, and which require custom fields to be created in HighLevel. We deliver a schema-diff report and a HighLevel setup checklist so your admin creates the necessary custom fields and pipelines before data is written.
Resolve owner and user mappings by email
Function 365 users are matched to HighLevel users by email address. We generate an owner-resolution report listing every Function 365 user, their mapped HighLevel user (or 'unmatched' status), and the fallback owner assigned for unmatched cases. Your team reviews the report and either invites unmatched users to HighLevel or confirms the fallback assignment. No record migrates without a confirmed HighLevel owner.
Migrate Businesses and Contacts before Deals and Opportunities
HighLevel requires Businesses to exist before Contacts can be linked via the Business Id field, and requires Contacts to exist before Opportunities can use them in contact-role associations. We sequence the migration in dependency order: Businesses first, then Contacts with company links resolved, then Opportunities with contact and owner links resolved. This ordering ensures all foreign keys are valid when each batch lands in HighLevel, avoiding orphaned records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100 to 500 covering contacts, companies, deals, and tasks — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field, flagging any transformation anomalies before the full run. You review the sample diff to confirm that pipeline mapping, owner resolution, and custom field values are correct. The sample migration must be approved before we commit to the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against HighLevel using the validated mapping from the sample phase. A delta-pickup window of 24 to 48 hours captures any records created or modified in Function 365 during the cutover window so HighLevel reflects the final state of your Function 365 data at go-live. All operations are logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies unexpected discrepancies after the full run completes.
