Overview
JobNimbus and HighLevel share a common object graph — contacts, companies, and pipeline-stage records — but the platforms diverge sharply on what a 'job' means and how automation is structured. JobNimbus models every project as a Job record attached to a Contact, with Board columns representing work stages, custom fields for trade-specific data, and automations scoped to contact and job workflows. HighLevel models sales and marketing activity as Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities in pipelines, with Custom Objects for non-standard entities and Workflows handling all automation logic. We map JobNimbus Contacts directly to HighLevel Contacts, JobNimbus Companies to HighLevel Companies, and JobNimbus Jobs to HighLevel Custom Objects (or Opportunities if the job represents a sales stage). JobNimbus Board stages map to HighLevel Opportunity stages per pipeline, with stage names carried forward. Custom fields on contacts, jobs, and companies migrate as HighLevel custom fields. Attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel's file storage. What does not migrate: JobNimbus automations, Engage (SMS) templates, QuickBooks sync rules, and Xactimate integration settings must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow builder. We export JobNimbus automation definitions as a rebuild reference. JobNimbus's API (Postman-documented at /S11PpG4x) provides read access for contacts, jobs, companies, and custom fields. HighLevel receives via REST API or CSV bulk import for contacts and companies.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Jobnimbus 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.
Jobnimbus
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1JobNimbus Contact maps directly to HighLevel Contact. Name, email, phone, address, and owner assignment carry forward. JobNimbus owner resolved by email match against HighLevel user list. Custom fields on the contact record become HighLevel custom fields on the Contact object.
Jobnimbus
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1JobNimbus Company maps to HighLevel Company. Company name, address, phone, and industry classification transfer directly. Contacts linked to a primary company in JobNimbus attach to the corresponding HighLevel Company via the contact–company relationship. Multi-contact accounts collapse to one primary company association per contact in HighLevel.
Jobnimbus
Job
HighLevel
Custom Object (Job) or Opportunity
1:1JobNimbus Jobs require a choice: (a) migrate as a HighLevel Custom Object when the job tracks a project with materials and line items, preserving job number, status, primary contact, and trade-specific fields; or (b) migrate as a HighLevel Opportunity if the job represents a sales pipeline stage (e.g., sold job, estimate stage). The choice depends on whether the job lifecycle maps to a sales funnel or an operational project log. We document both options in the pre-migration plan.
Jobnimbus
Board
HighLevel
Pipeline (Opportunity)
1:1JobNimbus Boards define workflow stages for jobs (e.g., New Lead, Scheduled, In Progress, Complete). Each board becomes a HighLevel Pipeline. Board columns map to HighLevel Opportunity stages with stage names and probabilities carried forward. Jobs in 'New Lead' or 'Estimate' columns map to open Opportunity stages; jobs in 'Complete' map to Closed Won.
Jobnimbus
Custom Field (Contact-level)
HighLevel
Custom Field on Contact
1:1JobNimbus supports Date, Decimal, Number, and Text custom field types on Contact records. Each custom field requires a corresponding custom field to be created in HighLevel before migration. JobNimbus field types map to HighLevel field types: Number → Number, Decimal → Decimal, Date → Date, Text → Text. We deliver a field creation checklist as part of the migration plan so HighLevel schema is ready before data loads.
Jobnimbus
Custom Field (Job-level)
HighLevel
Custom Field on Custom Object or Opportunity
1:1Trade-specific job fields (Xactimate code, roof type, material, labor hours) migrate as HighLevel custom fields on the target object (Custom Object or Opportunity, depending on the mapping choice in Step 3). Boolean and picklist fields in JobNimbus map to HighLevel Checkbox and Dropdown fields. We preserve the exact field label from JobNimbus in the HighLevel field name.
Jobnimbus
Engage (SMS / Text)
HighLevel
Not migrated — preserved as reference
1:1JobNimbus Engage stores SMS conversations threaded to contact records. HighLevel has its own Conversations feature tied to its SMS gateway. We export Engage message content as an attachment on the contact record in HighLevel for reference. Full conversation threading must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Conversations inbox using your own SMS number setup.
Jobnimbus
Automation
HighLevel
Not migrated — exported for rebuild
1:1JobNimbus Automations (action limits 10–100/mo by plan) do not export in a transferable format. We extract the automation definitions — trigger events, conditions, and action sequences — and deliver them as a structured document your HighLevel admin can use to rebuild equivalent Workflows in the HighLevel Workflow builder. No automation logic is transferred automatically.
Jobnimbus
Estimate / SumoQuote
HighLevel
Custom Object + Opportunity (partial)
1:1JobNimbus Estimates created via SumoQuote contain line items, materials, and pricing. HighLevel has no native estimating module. We migrate the estimate as a linked Custom Object record (line items stored in a JSON or multi-line text field for reference) and as an Opportunity with the estimate total in the Amount field. Rebuilt proposals must be created in HighLevel using the Opportunities and custom fields model.
Jobnimbus
QuickBooks Sync Settings
HighLevel
Not migrated
1:1JobNimbus's QuickBooks Desktop and Online integration settings are destination-side configuration with no export capability. Invoice and payment records that synced to QuickBooks are migrated as data but the QuickBooks connection must be re-established and mapped in HighLevel's native integration settings. FlitStack does not migrate accounting sync rules.
Jobnimbus
Attachment / Document
HighLevel
File on Contact or Custom Object
1:1JobNimbus file attachments (photos, contracts, Xactimate estimates) stored on Job and Contact records are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel Files, attached to the corresponding Contact or Custom Object record. File size limits of 25MB per file apply. Inline images in JobNimbus notes are downloaded and re-hosted as HighLevel file attachments.
Jobnimbus
Supplier / Material Catalog
HighLevel
Custom Object (Supplier)
1:1JobNimbus Supplier records and material line items do not have a native HighLevel equivalent. We migrate Suppliers as a HighLevel Custom Object with name, contact info, and material fields. Material line items attached to jobs can be stored as a Custom Object linked to the Job record, or flattened into a text/notes field for reference. Rebuilt material catalogs require manual setup in HighLevel.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit JobNimbus data and define the job-routing plan
We extract a full data inventory from JobNimbus via API — contacts, companies, jobs, boards, custom fields, and attachments. We then categorize each job record: jobs tied to pipeline stages (estimate, sold) route to HighLevel Opportunities; operational project jobs route to a Custom Object. This routing decision is documented in a Migration Plan delivered to you before any schema is created in HighLevel. The plan also lists every custom field that must be created in HighLevel and assigns field types based on JobNimbus field definitions (Date, Decimal, Number, Text).
Create HighLevel custom fields, pipelines, and Custom Object schema
Before data loads, your HighLevel admin (or our team) creates the target schema based on the Migration Plan. This includes: one HighLevel Pipeline per JobNimbus Board, stage names matching the board columns, a Custom Object for job records and a separate Custom Object for Supplier records, and all custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and the Custom Objects. FlitStack delivers a field creation checklist and a pipeline-stage template so the schema is complete and validated before the migration run.
Resolve owners and run a sample migration with field-level diff
JobNimbus owner IDs are resolved by email match against HighLevel user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged — your team either creates a HighLevel user account for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner before migration. We then run a sample migration on 100–500 representative records (mix of contacts, companies, jobs, and attachments). The sample produces a field-level diff comparing source and destination values so you can verify job-routing decisions, stage mapping, and owner resolution before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against HighLevel using the validated mapping from the sample run. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in JobNimbus during the cutover window. Attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel Files, linked to the corresponding contact or Custom Object record. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record inserted, updated, or skipped, with a de-duplication report identifying duplicate candidates by email and job number.
Deliver rebuild reference for automations and post-migration reconciliation
We deliver the automation extraction document — trigger events, conditions, and action sequences for every active JobNimbus automation — formatted for HighLevel Workflow rebuilding. The post-migration package includes a record-count reconciliation report (source vs. destination by object), a list of custom fields that require manual value mapping in HighLevel's UI, and a QuickBooks re-sync checklist for invoice and payment records. One-click rollback is available for 48 hours after go-live if reconciliation reveals critical data issues.
