Overview
Moving from Levitate to GoHighLevel is a contact-centric migration with a platform architecture shift. Levitate organizes its data around Contacts with Tags driving segmentation and Key Dates triggering automations; GoHighLevel adds Opportunities and Pipelines as first-class objects that Levitate lacks entirely. We extract contact records and tag assignments from Levitate's UI export, create matching custom date fields in GoHighLevel for Key Dates, and preserve campaign engagement aggregates as contact properties. Levitate's automations cannot be exported as portable logic — we deliver a written workflow inventory with GoHighLevel equivalents for the customer's admin to rebuild. Social media posts, handwritten card orders, and integration configurations (Clio, Vertafore, AMS360) do not migrate. The migration runs in dependency order: custom fields, then contacts with tag assignments, then campaign history, then opportunities and pipelines if used at destination.
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 Levitate 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.
Levitate
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Levitate Contacts map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. The standard fields (first name, last name, email, phone, company) map to GoHighLevel's Contact object properties. We extract contact records from Levitate's UI-based CSV export, enrich them with tag assignments from the contact profile, and import via GoHighLevel's Contact Import tool or API. Any contact notes extracted from Levitate Support are imported as GoHighLevel Contact Notes attached to the individual contact record.
Levitate
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Levitate Tags map to GoHighLevel Tags as the primary segmentation mechanism in both platforms. We preserve the full tag taxonomy during migration so that downstream GoHighLevel automations can reference the same tag triggers and conditions. Tags are applied during contact import via the tag column in GoHighLevel's bulk import template. The customer receives a tag inventory document listing all migrated tags and their contact counts.
Levitate
Key Date
HighLevel
Contact Custom Field (Date type)
lossyLevitate Key Dates (birthday, renewal date, policy expiration, custom age milestones) are Levitate-specific custom fields that drive date-triggered automations. We create matching custom date fields in GoHighLevel (Contact custom fields with Date field type) before import, then map Levitate Key Date values into the corresponding GoHighLevel fields. Date-triggered automations in GoHighLevel reference these custom fields as workflow triggers. The customer confirms which Key Dates map to which GoHighLevel fields during discovery.
Levitate
Automation
HighLevel
Workflow (rebuild required)
lossyLevitate automations are server-side workflow sequences with email steps, delays, conditional branches, and tag actions. The automation logic is not exportable as portable JSON — only enrollment state is extractable. We deliver a written automation inventory documenting every active Levitate automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds each automation in GoHighLevel's visual workflow builder using the inventory as a blueprint. Automation rebuild is outside standard migration scope.
Levitate
Campaign
HighLevel
Campaign + Contact custom properties
1:1Levitate Campaigns track group emails sent to segments with engagement data (opens, clicks, replies). We export campaign metadata (name, send date, recipient count) and aggregate engagement stats per contact as GoHighLevel Contact custom properties (e.g., last_email_open_date, total_campaign_opens, last_click_date). Individual email performance data is aggregated rather than preserved as separate campaign records because GoHighLevel's campaign model differs. The customer receives a campaign summary document listing all historical campaigns and their aggregate engagement metrics.
Levitate
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Levitate stores company data as properties on the Contact record (company name, website, address). GoHighLevel has a separate Companies object for organization-level records. If Levitate contacts include company data, we create GoHighLevel Company records during import and link contacts via the contact-to-company relationship. Company records are created first so the lookup relationship is satisfied at contact insert time.
Levitate
Deal (if applicable)
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Levitate does not have a native deal or pipeline object. If the customer has been tracking deal data informally (e.g., in custom fields or notes), we discuss whether to create GoHighLevel Opportunities during migration. If so, we create Pipelines and Stages in GoHighLevel before import, then map any deal-equivalent data to Opportunity records with values, stages, and OwnerId resolved via the user mapping.
Levitate
Text Message
HighLevel
Contact Activity / SMS Log
1:1SMS history in Levitate is stored per contact but export capability is limited to the recent message thread view. We migrate available SMS logs as GoHighLevel Contact activity entries or SMS log custom fields where feasible. Long message threads with full conversation history may be truncated. We flag SMS log completeness in the discovery audit and document any gaps in the migration deliverable.
Levitate
User
HighLevel
User
1:1Levitate user accounts (owner, admin, member roles) are listed but role definitions and permission scopes are not fully exportable. We map the primary owner and active user list by email match to GoHighLevel User records. Any Levitate user without a matching GoHighLevel User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Role-based permissions must be reconfigured in GoHighLevel separately.
Levitate
Social Media Post
HighLevel
Not migrated
1:1Social media posts in Levitate are stored as template references with scheduling metadata rather than structured records. There is no documented export endpoint for social content. We do not migrate social media posts. The customer documents any active social scheduling workflows for manual rebuild in GoHighLevel's social media scheduling module if applicable.
Levitate
Handwritten Card
HighLevel
Not migrated
1:1Handwritten card orders in Levitate are managed through a third-party fulfillment integration and do not store recipient addresses as standalone contact data. Card order history is not accessible via export. We do not migrate handwritten card data. The customer should confirm whether the third-party fulfillment integration has its own export capability for order history if historical records are needed.

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.
Levitate gotchas
No public API — automation logic is not exportable
Key Dates are Levitate-specific custom fields
Split billing requires manual credit card management
Flat-rate billing continues until cancelled
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
Discovery and Levitate export audit
We run a discovery audit of the Levitate account to document all contact records, tag taxonomy, Key Date field names and types, campaign history, user accounts, and any automation enrollment states. We coordinate with the customer to run the UI-based contact CSV export, request profile notes from Levitate Support, and document any social media post or handwritten card data that cannot be exported. We also confirm whether the customer intends to use GoHighLevel's Opportunities and Pipelines for any deal-equivalent data currently tracked informally in Levitate custom fields or notes.
GoHighLevel schema pre-configuration
We create the destination schema in GoHighLevel before any data import. This includes creating custom date fields on the Contact object for every Levitate Key Date, creating Tag groups if the tag taxonomy warrants organization, creating Pipelines and Stages if the customer opts to include Opportunities, and configuring the Agency Wallet and usage thresholds for SMS and email if the customer expects high-volume campaigns. GoHighLevel configuration is performed in the customer's sandbox or staging environment first for validation. Custom field creation requires GoHighLevel admin access that we coordinate with the customer's account owner.
Contact and tag import with reconciliation
We import Levitate contacts via GoHighLevel's Contact Import tool using the CSV exported from Levitate. The import file includes tag assignments as a comma-separated tag column that GoHighLevel applies during import. Key Date values map to the pre-created custom date fields. We run a reconciliation check comparing Levitate contact count to GoHighLevel contact count, spot-check 20-30 records for data accuracy, and resolve any import errors (duplicate detection, missing required fields, malformed email addresses) before proceeding. Company records are created separately and linked to contacts before or during import via the company lookup.
Campaign and engagement history import
We aggregate Levitate campaign engagement data (open counts, click counts, last engagement dates) per contact and write these as GoHighLevel Contact custom properties (e.g., lifetime_email_opens, last_campaign_click_date). Campaign metadata (name, send date, segment size) is documented in a campaign summary report delivered alongside the migration. Individual per-email performance records are not preserved as separate GoHighLevel objects because the campaign model differs. The customer receives the campaign summary for reference and can rebuild campaign sequences in GoHighLevel using the summary as source-of-truth for historical campaign names and dates.
Automation rebuild handoff
We deliver the written automation inventory document listing every active Levitate automation with its trigger type, conditions, actions, and recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent. The inventory is organized by automation priority (critical, secondary, nice-to-have) based on the customer's business process input during discovery. The customer's GoHighLevel admin or a GoHighLevel-certified partner rebuilds each automation post-migration. We do not rebuild Levitate automations as GoHighLevel Workflows inside standard migration scope. We support a one-week handoff window where we answer questions about the automation inventory and mapping decisions.
Cutover and validation
We freeze Levitate writes during the cutover window to capture any final contact updates. We run a delta import of records modified since the initial export, then confirm GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver a final reconciliation report comparing Levitate source record counts to GoHighLevel destination record counts for each object type. Any discrepancies are investigated and resolved or documented as known gaps. We do not provide post-migration admin support, GoHighLevel training, or workflow rebuild as standard scope; these are separate engagements. The customer cancels or downgrades the Levitate subscription after GoHighLevel validation is confirmed.
