Overview
Leaf360 is a mortgage-vertical CRM built around loan officers, referral partners, and deal pipelines tied to lending stages (Pre-Qual through Closing). HighLevel is a general-purpose all-in-one CRM with unlimited contacts, visual workflow automation, SMS/email marketing, and pipeline management. The two platforms share a contact + deal object model but diverge sharply on mortgage-specific fields, referral tracking, and workflow architecture. FlitStack AI extracts Leaf360 records via API (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Custom Fields), maps each to HighLevel contacts/companies/opportunities, creates HighLevel custom fields for mortgage-specific properties (loan type, referral source, rate lock status), and preserves original create/update timestamps and owner assignments via email match. Workflows, automations, and referral partner portals are Leaf360-native and do not transfer — we export workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for HighLevel's Workflow Builder. HighLevel's bulk export infrastructure (async CSV via Bulk Actions) handles contacts and companies; opportunities and custom object records move via API. Our approach sequences data so foreign keys resolve cleanly before opportunities land in HighLevel pipelines.
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 Leaf360 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.
Leaf360
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Leaf360 contacts map directly to HighLevel contacts. Every contact field (name, email, phone, address) transfers as-is. Primary company association resolves via the Companies step. Owner assignment uses email-match against HighLevel users — unmatched owners flagged for admin resolution before the opportunity step.
Leaf360
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Leaf360 companies map to HighLevel companies. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and revenue fields transfer directly. HighLevel companies support multiple contacts per company, so Leaf360's N:1 contact-to-company mapping collapses cleanly to the primary company association. After migration, contact records retain their company linkage in HighLevel, enabling company-level reporting and activity tracking across all associated loan officers and referral partners.
Leaf360
Deal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Leaf360 deals map to HighLevel opportunities. Deal name, amount, close date, and owner transfer directly. Leaf360's lending-stage pipeline (Pre-Qual, Submitted, Underwriting, Approval, Closing) maps to a HighLevel pipeline with matching stage names. Probability and forecast category are applied per stage from HighLevel's pipeline configuration.
Leaf360
Loan Type (custom field)
HighLevel
Opportunity Custom Field
1:1Leaf360 custom fields like 'loan_type' (Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA) have no native HighLevel equivalent on the opportunity object. We create a HighLevel custom field of type pick-list or text on the opportunity and migrate values value-by-value. The field is available for workflow triggers and pipeline filtering in HighLevel.
Leaf360
Referral Source (custom field)
HighLevel
Contact Custom Field
1:1Leaf360 referral source data (Real Estate Agent, Builder, Community Partner, etc.) migrates as a HighLevel contact custom field. In HighLevel, this field can drive workflow segmentation so referral follow-up sequences trigger automatically from the imported referral source value. Post-migration, your team can create automated nurture sequences, task assignments, and deadline alerts based on the referral source, ensuring consistent partner engagement without manual outreach tracking.
Leaf360
Property Address (custom field)
HighLevel
Contact Custom Field or Opportunity Custom Field
1:1Leaf360 property address stored as a custom field migrates to a HighLevel custom field. We recommend placing it on the opportunity for deal-specific property context, with the full address text stored as a single formatted field or split into street/city/state/ZIP based on data quality in the source.
Leaf360
Rate Lock Status (custom field)
HighLevel
Opportunity Custom Field
1:1Rate lock status (Not Started, In Progress, Locked, Expired) migrates as a pick-list custom field on the HighLevel opportunity. This field can drive pipeline coloring, stage probability overrides, or workflow actions in HighLevel's Automation Builder. Teams can configure automatic task creation when rate lock status changes, send notifications to loan processors when status reaches specific milestones, and use the field for reporting on deal velocity through the rate lock stage.
Leaf360
Note / Activity Log
HighLevel
Note
1:1Leaf360 notes and activity entries migrate to HighLevel notes attached to the corresponding contact or opportunity. Original timestamps and note authors are preserved as note metadata. Rich-text formatting is converted to HighLevel's note format. Notes with no associated contact are attached to the most recently linked contact by timestamp.
Leaf360
Attachment / File
HighLevel
HighLevel File Storage
1:1File attachments on Leaf360 contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel's file storage linked to the corresponding record. HighLevel file size limits apply (25MB per file). Files without an associated record are attached to the most relevant contact record.
Leaf360
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Leaf360 tags migrate as HighLevel tags on the contact. Tags drive workflow triggers in HighLevel's Automation Builder, making tag migration critical for post-migration automation continuity. Duplicate tags are deduplicated during import. After migration, your team can create workflow rules that automatically apply tags based on opportunity stage changes, referral source values, or custom field updates, ensuring that existing automation logic carries forward without manual recreation.
Leaf360
Pipeline / Stage Configuration
HighLevel
Pipeline
1:1Each Leaf360 deal pipeline becomes a HighLevel pipeline. Leaf360 lending stages map to HighLevel pipeline stages by name; stage order and probability values transfer as configured. HighLevel allows multiple pipelines per sub-account — each Leaf360 pipeline gets its own HighLevel pipeline with stage customization available post-migration.
Leaf360
Workflow / Automation
HighLevel
Workflow (rebuild required)
1:1Leaf360 automations are mortgage-specific and cannot be exported in a transferable format. FlitStack exports workflow definitions as a structured document listing triggers, conditions, and actions. Your team rebuilds these in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using the export as a blueprint. We recommend this step during the test migration window before the full cutover.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Leaf360 data and configure HighLevel pipelines
We extract a full inventory of Leaf360 objects: contacts, companies, deals, custom fields, tags, and note volumes. We audit custom field types, identify multi-value fields, and assess data quality (missing emails, duplicate records, date format inconsistencies). Simultaneously, we review your Leaf360 pipeline count and stage names to produce a HighLevel pipeline setup plan. Your team (or our team) creates the pipelines and custom fields in HighLevel before data moves. This step gates the migration start date — HighLevel must have its pipeline and custom field schema ready before we begin loading opportunities.
Resolve owners and match users across platforms
Leaf360 owner IDs are matched to HighLevel users by email address. We produce a resolution report listing matched owners (data moves normally), unmatched owners (records flagged for fallback assignment), and any Leaf360 owners without corresponding HighLevel user accounts. Your admin either creates the missing HighLevel user accounts before migration or assigns flagged records to a designated fallback owner. No record moves to HighLevel without a confirmed owner assignment — this prevents orphaned opportunities in the pipeline.
Migrate companies, then contacts, then opportunities in dependency order
HighLevel requires a company record to exist before a contact can associate to it via the Company ID field, and requires contacts before opportunities can use Opportunity Contact Roles. We sequence the migration so Companies → Contacts → Deals (Opportunities) resolve in order. Custom fields are created in HighLevel before the migration step that populates them. Tags are applied in a separate post-processing step after contacts are loaded. This sequencing ensures foreign key integrity throughout the load.
Run test migration on a sample slice with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 200–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals across multiple pipeline stages) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values for every mapped field. You verify that loan type, rate lock status, and referral source fields appear correctly in HighLevel, that pipeline stage mapping produces the expected stage in the correct pipeline, and that owner resolution resolved correctly for the sample. Sample approval triggers the full migration window. Any field mapping errors discovered in the sample are corrected before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full Leaf360 dataset migrates to HighLevel using the validated mapping from the test step. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs concurrently — any records created or modified in Leaf360 during the cutover are captured and applied to HighLevel after the initial bulk load. Every operation is logged in an audit trail covering record counts, error records, and retry counts. If reconciliation reveals a discrepancy (record count mismatch, missing field values), one-click rollback reverts the HighLevel state to the pre-migration snapshot and the affected slice re-migrates. After reconciliation passes, HighLevel is your live CRM.
