Overview

What this migration involves

Interact organizes quiz-taking contacts into audiences and captures lead data through quiz submissions with associated tags and email addresses. It stores contacts with properties (first name, last name, email, phone, custom quiz-answer fields), quiz names, and tag-based segmentation. HighLevel uses a standard CRM model with Contacts (name, email, phone, address, custom fields), Companies (business name, domain, industry, employee count), and Opportunities (deal name, pipeline, stage, amount, close date, owner). FlitStack AI reads Interact contacts via the platform's CSV export and API where available, maps contact properties to HighLevel contact fields, maps quiz names and tag groups to custom fields or opportunity pipelines, and loads everything into HighLevel via bulk import or API. Quiz-result scoring that Interact computes internally does not export as a native score — we preserve it as a custom numeric field on the HighLevel contact record. Workflows, email sequences, and automation logic built in Interact do not transfer and must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow Builder — we export your Interact workflow definitions as a reference document for your HighLevel admin.

Interactive

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-seat pricing is positioned at the premium end of the legal-tech market — sticker shock is the most common renewal-time complaint among solo and small firms.
  • Steep learning curve — reviewers describe the platform as 'complex and thorough' with significant up-front training required before attorneys produce documents efficiently.
  • Elder Counsel merger (2021) drove rate increases that frustrated long-standing customers, who cite this as a trigger to evaluate WealthCounsel WealthDocx and other alternatives.
  • Desktop-Word-centric workflow does not fit mobile-first or tablet-based drafting habits; client-facing portals and self-service intake are not the platform's strength.
  • Limited public API and integration documentation — connecting to practice-management, billing or document-management systems requires custom work or third-party connectors.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How Interactive objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a Interactive 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.

Interactive

Contact

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Direct map. Interact contact properties — first name, last name, email, and phone — map to HighLevel's built‑in Contact fields. Any missing values are flagged for optional default handling. The contact source attribution (e.g., web form, landing page) stored in Interact is preserved in Contact.source_name or a custom field for reporting and attribution analysis.

Interactive

Quiz Name

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Interact records which quiz each contact completed as a contact property. Because HighLevel lacks a native quiz‑name field, we create a custom text field (e.g., Source_Quiz__c) on the Contact record to retain the quiz name for each lead, enabling segmentation and reporting by quiz origin in HighLevel.

Interactive

Quiz Result / Score

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Interact computes a quiz score internally and stores it per contact. HighLevel has no native score field. We map this to a custom numeric field (Quiz_Score__c) on the Contact so your team can segment by score in HighLevel filters and workflows.

Interactive

Tag

maps to

HighLevel

Tag + Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Interact uses tags to segment contacts by quiz answers and audience group. HighLevel has a native Tag system. For tags that represent fixed categories (e.g., Lead Source, Industry), we also create custom pick-list fields so segmentation is visible on the contact record without relying on tag filtering alone.

Interactive

Company / Business Name

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Interact contact records often include a business or company name field. We map this field to HighLevel's Company object, creating the Company record first so the Contact can be linked via the CompanyId lookup relationship. This preserves the business association and allows HighLevel's pipeline and reporting features to operate on company-level data.

Interactive

Email Address

maps to

HighLevel

Contact.email

1:1
Fully supported

Direct map. The email address serves as the unique identifier for deduplication and for matching Interact contacts to any existing HighLevel contacts during a partial migration scenario. During import, we use email to detect duplicates, merge overlapping records, and ensure every contact lands in HighLevel with a single, clean entry. Any email format variations (e.g., case differences) are normalized to maintain consistency.

Interactive

Phone Number

maps to

HighLevel

Contact.phone1

1:1
Fully supported

Direct map. Interact's phone property maps to HighLevel's phone1 field, and we handle both domestic and international number formats by applying formatting normalization during import. This ensures that phone numbers appear consistently across the CRM, supporting SMS and call automation features. If a contact lacks a phone number, the field is left empty and flagged for optional enrichment later.

Interactive

Submission Timestamp

maps to

HighLevel

Contact.date_added (custom field)

1:1
Fully supported

Interact records the exact timestamp when a contact was originally added to the platform. HighLevel's native date_added field reflects the import date, so we preserve the original submission date in a custom datetime field called Original_Submission_Date__c. This allows you to run time‑series reports, filter contacts by when they first entered the system, and maintain historical continuity across the migration.

Interactive

Custom Quiz-Answer Fields

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Each unique quiz-answer property in Interact becomes a custom field in HighLevel. We map text answers to text fields, multiple-choice answers to pick-list fields, and numeric answers to number fields. The full list of quiz-answer fields is extracted during the audit phase.

Interactive

Integration / Third-party connections

maps to

HighLevel

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Interact integrations with external email platforms, CRMs, and automation tools such as Zapier do not automatically transfer to HighLevel. Each connection must be reconfigured in HighLevel using its native integration marketplace, which includes equivalent connectors for Mailchimp, Zapier, and webhooks, as well as custom API options for proprietary services. During the audit we document every active integration's settings, and after migration we provide a step‑by‑step checklist to re‑authorize and test each connection.

Interactive

Email Sequences / Automations

maps to

HighLevel

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

Interact email sequences and tag‑based follow‑up automations have no direct equivalent in HighLevel's Workflow Builder, which uses a different trigger model and action set. We export your Interact sequence definitions—including step order, time delays, conditional branches, and send‑from addresses—as a structured reference document. Your HighLevel admin can use this blueprint to rebuild each sequence as a workflow, mapping entry triggers to quiz‑name tags and setting up any required conditional logic.

Interactive

Opportunity

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

If your team uses Interact to track deal-like stages alongside quiz leads (e.g., a lead-status field), we map those stages to HighLevel pipeline stages. For most Interact users, this object is empty — we flag any deal-like fields for your team to configure in HighLevel Pipelines after migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Contact export batch limit requires multi-file reconciliation

    Interact caps each CSV export at 200,000 records, exporting the oldest records first. Teams with over 200,000 contacts must run multiple exports and stitch the files together before importing into HighLevel. We handle this reconciliation — flagging duplicates across batch files using email as the unique key and confirming the final contact count matches Interact's reported total. If your dataset exceeds 400,000 contacts, we schedule exports in sequence and deduplicate across all batches before the HighLevel bulk import runs.

  • Quiz scores are not a native HighLevel field and must be migrated as custom properties

    Interact computes quiz scores and stores them as contact properties, but HighLevel has no native equivalent. FlitStack creates a Quiz_Score__c numeric field on the Contact object and maps the value during import. If you use the score to drive automation in Interact (e.g., tag contacts scoring above a threshold), you'll need to recreate that logic in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using a trigger condition on Quiz_Score__c — we document the threshold values during the audit so nothing is lost in translation.

  • Tags and tag groups require custom field planning before import

    Interact's tag model is flat — all tags live in one namespace per contact. HighLevel's tag system is also flat, but tag groups used for segmentation (e.g., Industry, Lead Source, Quiz Response) are best modeled as custom pick-list fields for visibility on the contact record and for use in pipeline automation triggers. We extract your full tag taxonomy during the audit, recommend which tags warrant a custom pick-list field, and create those fields in HighLevel before the import so segmentation is immediately usable post-migration.

  • Email sequences and automations cannot migrate and must be rebuilt

    Interact's email follow-up sequences (time-delayed messages triggered by quiz submission) have no equivalent in HighLevel. HighLevel's Workflow Builder achieves the same outcomes — multi-step, time-delayed, conditional email and SMS sequences — but the logic must be rebuilt. FlitStack exports your Interact sequence definitions (step count, delay values, tag-conditional branches, send-from addresses) as a structured reference document. Your HighLevel admin uses this to recreate each sequence in the Workflow Builder, mapping contacts to the new workflows by quiz-name tag as the entry trigger.

  • Integration connections do not survive the migration

    Interact integrations with Mailchimp, Zapier, Google Analytics, and other third‑party services do not transfer automatically to HighLevel. Each connection must be re‑established in HighLevel’s native integration marketplace, which offers equivalent connectors for most popular tools, as well as custom webhook and API options for more niche services. During the audit we capture every active integration’s configuration details—API keys, trigger conditions, and field mappings—and we deliver a post‑migration integration checklist that lists each connection, its HighLevel counterpart, and any required re‑authorization steps. This ensures a complete handoff with no integrations overlooked before you go live.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Interactive to HighLevel data migration

  1. Audit Interact contacts and taxonomy

    We connect to your Interact account and extract the full contact list via CSV export, pulling all standard fields and quiz-answer custom properties. We document every unique quiz name, tag, tag group, quiz-answer field name, and any computed score fields present in the dataset. This audit produces the field catalog that drives the mapping plan and the custom field creation list for HighLevel.

  2. Plan custom fields and tag mapping in HighLevel

    Based on the audit, we create all required custom fields in HighLevel before any data moves — quiz-name fields, score fields, original submission dates, and any pick-list fields needed for tag-group segmentation. We configure field types (text, number, pick-list, date) to match the Interact data format. This step ensures the HighLevel schema is ready to receive the full dataset without type-mismatch errors during import.

  3. Export, reconcile, and deduplicate Interact contacts

    We export contacts from Interact in batches when the total record count exceeds 200,000, following the platform’s oldest‑first ordering to ensure a complete snapshot. Each exported batch is loaded into a staging environment where we deduplicate using email as the unique key; overlapping contacts across batches are merged by a most‑recent‑wins rule that retains the latest submission timestamp. After all batches are stitched together, we compare the final record count against Interact’s reported totals and log any discrepancies for investigation before the HighLevel bulk import begins, guaranteeing zero silent data loss.

  4. Run sample import with field-level verification

    A representative sample — typically 200–500 contacts drawn from multiple quizzes and tag groups — is imported into HighLevel first. We then generate a field‑level diff report that juxtaposes each source value with its destination counterpart, allowing you to verify quiz‑name mapping, score migration, tag assignment, company linking, and any custom field values. You review the report, confirm accuracy, and approve the full run, ensuring the later bulk load meets your expectations.

  5. Execute full import with delta pickup window

    The complete contact dataset is loaded into HighLevel via a bulk import operation that supports millions of records per run. A 24–48 hour delta‑pickup window runs concurrently, capturing any new contacts or tag changes that occur in Interact during the cutover period. Our audit log records every import action, and a one‑click rollback feature can reverse the entire load if reconciliation fails, guaranteeing that HighLevel reflects Interact’s final state at go‑live without manual correction.

Strengths

  • Expert-authored clause libraries continuously updated for federal transfer-tax and state-law changes
  • Covers sophisticated estate-planning scenarios including GST, dynasty, charitable and grantor trusts plus Medicaid/VA planning
  • Matter-per-spouse with copy-from-spouse data streamlines mirror-image planning for couples
  • Includes CLE Academy and monthly drafting webinars — ongoing legal education bundled with the platform
  • Multiple specialised suites (Wealth Transfer, Elder Law, Essential, Firearms Trust) so firms buy only the libraries they need

Weaknesses

  • Premium per-seat pricing; rate increases following the 2021 Elder Counsel merger frustrated long-standing customers
  • Steep learning curve — reviewers describe it as complex and thorough, with significant up-front training required
  • Desktop-Word-centric workflow does not suit mobile/tablet drafting or client-facing self-service intake
  • Sparse public API and integration documentation; PM/billing/DMS integration is mostly file-based
  • Clause library is proprietary IP that does not migrate with the customer, limiting platform exit options

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.

Most Interact-to-HighLevel migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 contacts. The longest planning step is the custom field and tag taxonomy audit — mapping every quiz-answer property and tag group to the right HighLevel field type takes 1–2 days. Large datasets over 200,000 contacts add time because the Interact export must run in multiple batches and the files must be reconciled before import. Go-live is typically 3–5 days from project kickoff.
