Overview
Moving from GENIEE SFA/CRM to GoHighLevel is a migration from a Japan-based AdTech group's secondary CRM product to a purpose-built all-in-one marketing and sales platform. The primary technical challenge is GENIEE's absence of a public REST API: all data exports require direct coordination with GENIEE account management and are delivered as structured data dumps rather than API responses. We handle Japanese-language field labels during discovery using machine-assisted translation with Japanese-speaking engineers, and we map GENIEE's account-centric SFA/CRM data into GoHighLevel's contact-centric schema where Accounts function as loose groupings rather than primary record containers. GENIEE DSP campaign data and SSP inventory structures do not map to standard GoHighLevel objects and are exported as custom objects with clear labeling. Workflows, automations, and marketing sequences do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of any active automations requiring rebuild in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder.
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 GENIEE 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.
GENIEE
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1GENIEE SFA/CRM Contacts map to GoHighLevel Contacts. We resolve Japanese field labels to English equivalents during scoping using machine-assisted translation and Japanese-speaking engineers, mapping contact name fields, email, phone, address, and custom properties to their GoHighLevel counterparts. Owner assignment resolves by matching GENIEE owner email to GoHighLevel User email.
GENIEE
Company/Account
HighLevel
Account
1:1GENIEE Companies map to GoHighLevel Accounts. Japanese regional naming conventions (prefectures, ward codes) and department hierarchy data migrate as custom fields on the Account record. We preserve the Account-Contact linkage from GENIEE and rebuild it in GoHighLevel where Accounts serve as groupings rather than primary record containers.
GENIEE
Deal/Pipeline
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1GENIEE Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities inside Pipelines. Pipeline stages from GENIEE become GoHighLevel Pipeline stages with probability percentages converted to integer values. Deal value, close date, and stage history transfer directly. We configure the GoHighLevel Pipeline before migration to match the GENIEE stage structure.
GENIEE
Marketing Campaign
HighLevel
Campaign
1:1GENIEE MA Campaigns migrate to GoHighLevel Campaigns. UTM parameters, source/medium attribution data stored per Contact normalizes to GoHighLevel's campaign tracking fields. Campaign-Customer association migrates as CampaignMember records. Attribution models from GENIEE MA do not have a direct GoHighLevel equivalent and are documented for the customer to configure post-migration.
GENIEE
DSP Campaign
HighLevel
Custom Object
lossyGENIEE DSP campaign metadata (budget, targeting parameters, ad formats, flight dates, bid logs) does not map to any standard GoHighLevel object. We export DSP campaign records as a GoHighLevel Custom Object with fields named to match the original DSP schema, so the customer's team can reference the data without a full schema redesign. This is SSP/DSP-specific and not a standard CRM migration object.
GENIEE
Publisher Inventory/Ad Slots
HighLevel
Custom Object
lossyGENIEE SSP publisher inventory data (slot IDs, floor prices, telco/mobile/desktop classifications) has no GoHighLevel equivalent. We export inventory configuration as a Custom Object labeled 'Ad Inventory' with original field names preserved, enabling the customer's team to cross-reference DSP campaign data without a separate SSP tool.
GENIEE
User/Owner
HighLevel
User
1:1GENIEE SFA/CRM Users (record owners with email, name, and role) migrate to GoHighLevel Users. We match by email address. Any GENIEE owner without a matching GoHighLevel User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Contact and Deal import proceeds.
GENIEE
Attachment
HighLevel
Attachment
1:1Attachments on GENIEE Contacts, Accounts, and Deals export as binary files and re-upload to GoHighLevel as file attachments linked to the corresponding Contact, Account, or Opportunity record. Original file names, MIME types, and upload timestamps are preserved. File size and type limits follow GoHighLevel's tenant-specific constraints.
GENIEE
Custom Properties
HighLevel
Custom Fields
lossyGENIEE tenant-specific custom fields on Contacts and Accounts are discovered during scoping, and the full custom property list generates a field map. We create equivalent custom fields in GoHighLevel before data import, handling type conversion (text, number, date, picklist) and preserving the original Japanese field labels in a description or tooltip for reference.
GENIEE
Tag/Label
HighLevel
Tag
lossyGENIEE tags on Contacts and Companies export as label arrays. GoHighLevel supports Tags on Contacts which we populate from the GENIEE export. Tag vocabulary is tenant-defined and migrates as-is; no value transformation is applied unless duplicate tags with different casing are detected and normalized during import.

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.
GENIEE gotchas
No documented public API for programmatic exports
Dual-product architecture requires separate export workflows
Japanese-language interface and documentation
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
Export authorization and data dump coordination
We open a formal request with the customer's GENIEE account management team to authorize a full data export of the SFA/CRM subsystem. The customer signs the authorization (required by GENIEE's data handling policy). We specify the export format (structured CSV or JSON with field headers), the record types required (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Campaigns, Users, Attachments), and the date range. GENIEE typically delivers the data dump within 10-15 business days. We request DSP campaign metadata and SSP inventory as separate exports with a parallel request.
Japanese field discovery and English mapping
We deliver the raw GENIEE data dump to our Japanese-speaking data engineering team, who generate an English-language field inventory by translating column headers, field labels, and picklist values. We cross-reference the inventory with the customer's GENIEE administrator via a live mapping session to confirm intent for any ambiguous labels. The output is a bilingual field map (GENIEE Japanese label, GENIEE English alias where available, GoHighLevel target field) used for all subsequent transform steps.
GoHighLevel sandbox setup and schema configuration
We create a GoHighLevel sandbox environment (a separate sub-account used for testing) and configure the destination schema before any data loads. This includes provisioning Custom Objects for DSP campaign metadata and SSP inventory, creating custom fields for Japanese regional data and GENIEE-specific properties, configuring Pipelines and stage values to match the GENIEE deal structure, and setting up Tags to receive the GENIEE label vocabulary.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the GoHighLevel sandbox using the GENIEE data dump. The customer's admin reviews 25-50 randomly sampled records for data accuracy, checks that Japanese regional data and custom properties migrated correctly, and validates that Contact-Account-Deal relationships are intact. The admin signs off on the sandbox result before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections are applied to the production configuration at this stage.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (provisioned manually by the customer's GoHighLevel admin), Accounts (from GENIEE Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with Pipeline stage and owner resolved), Campaign members, custom objects for DSP and SSP data, attachments, and tags. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. DSP campaign performance records load last as a Custom Object batch.
Cutover, domain authentication, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze GENIEE writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial dump, configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC for the customer's sending domain in GoHighLevel, and enable GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of any GENIEE SFA/CRM automations or campaign workflows with a recommendation for rebuild in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope.
