Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Lime Go to GoHighLevel is a migration between two platforms with fundamentally different core positioning. Lime Go is a straightforward Nordic B2B CRM built for sales pipeline visibility and GDPR compliance, with a read-only built-in company database and a per-seat pricing model. GoHighLevel is an all-in-one marketing and agency platform that layers CRM, funnels, SMS, email, and automation workflows under one subscription, with pricing tiers from $97 to $497 per month and white-label capabilities. The schema mapping requires resolving Lime Go's Customer-and-Contact pairing into GoHighLevel's Company-and-Contact model, remapping Deal stages into GoHighLevel pipelines, and preserving GDPR consent history as Contact custom fields. GoHighLevel's custom objects are available from the Starter tier, which gives data-model-heavy teams more flexibility than Lime Go's flat object set. We do not migrate Lime Go saved filters, and GoHighLevel workflows must be rebuilt by the customer's admin using GoHighLevel's workflow builder post-migration.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Lime Go

What's pushing teams away

  • Poor third-party integrations force users to manually log emails and other communications, creating data silos and significant administrative overhead in daily workflows.
  • Task management lacks batch operations—users cannot select multiple reminders and postpone them in one action, causing friction when managing high-activity sales teams.
  • Limited commenting functionality: users cannot reply to comments, making collaborative note-taking and team communication less structured than alternatives.
  • Not advanced enough for project management use cases despite covering CRM fundamentals, prompting teams with project-heavy workflows to seek alternative platforms.

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 Lime Go objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a Lime Go 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.

Lime Go

Customer

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Customers (the primary account-level record) map directly to GoHighLevel Company. Customer name, address, phone, website, and custom fields transfer as Company fields. The Lime Go Customer record carries the main company-level metadata and becomes the top-level entity in GoHighLevel. Tags on the Customer transfer to GoHighLevel Company tags. We flag any Customer records that originated from Lime Go's read-only Nordic enrichment database separately because those are enrichment context, not user-owned CRM data.

Lime Go

Contact

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Contacts map to GoHighLevel Contact with full field fidelity. Email, phone, title, owner, custom properties, and tags migrate directly. GDPR consent flags (granted, withdrawn, timestamps) migrate as Contact custom fields that GoHighLevel's admin creates before import. We resolve the parent Company reference by matching on Company name or domain so that each Contact is linked to the correct GoHighLevel Company record.

Lime Go

Company (enriched)

maps to

HighLevel

Enrichment context (not CRM record)

lossy
Fully supported

Lime Go's built-in Nordic company database of 3.7 million businesses is a read-only enrichment layer, not user-owned CRM data. These records do not migrate as GoHighLevel Contacts or Companies. We extract the enrichment data during scoping, flag it as non-transferable CRM context, and document whether the customer plans to use a GoHighLevel-compatible enrichment provider post-migration (e.g., Clearbit, FullContact) or retain Lime Go solely for prospecting enrichment purposes.

Lime Go

Deal

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunity. Deal value, expected close date, owner, and custom fields migrate directly. We map Lime Go's deal pipeline stage to a GoHighLevel pipeline stage using a configuration mapping table built during scoping. Stage probability percentages transfer where configured on the Lime Go side.

Lime Go

Sales Pipeline

maps to

HighLevel

Pipeline

lossy
Fully supported

Each Lime Go deal pipeline becomes a GoHighLevel Pipeline. Stage names, order, and probability values map to GoHighLevel stage equivalents. We configure the GoHighLevel pipeline in the destination account before any Opportunity records import so that stage references are valid at insert time. Multiple Lime Go pipelines map to multiple GoHighLevel pipelines using Record Type scoping if the customer requires pipeline isolation per business line.

Lime Go

Activity

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Activities (call logs, meeting records, general touchpoints) map to GoHighLevel Task records. Activity type, subject, body, timestamp, and linked Contact or Customer transfer. Activity date ordering is preserved using the GoHighLevel Task due date and reminder timestamp fields. We reconstruct the linked Contact or Customer reference by resolving the name or email match against the migrated Contact and Company records.

Lime Go

Task

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Tasks migrate to GoHighLevel Task with assignee, due date, status, and priority preserved. Task ownership resolves by matching the Lime Go owner email against the GoHighLevel User table. Recurring task patterns in Lime Go map as repeating Task records; the customer rebuilds the recurrence logic in GoHighLevel's calendar system post-migration.

Lime Go

Reminder

maps to

HighLevel

Task (note-type)

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Reminders attached to Contacts, Customers, or Deals map to GoHighLevel Tasks flagged with a reminder-type custom field. The original reminder timestamp becomes the Task due date, preserving the notification context. Reminder body migrates as Task notes. Recurring reminders migrate as repeating Tasks and are flagged for the customer to rebuild the recurrence schedule in GoHighLevel.

Lime Go

History Note

maps to

HighLevel

Task (note entry)

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go History Notes attached to Customers or Contacts map to GoHighLevel Tasks with a note-style format. Author, timestamp, and full note text migrate. Attachments referenced in History Notes are flagged for document migration separately. Notes are linked to the parent Contact or Company record using the resolved lookup.

Lime Go

Document

maps to

HighLevel

Document (file reference)

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go document attachments on Customers, Contacts, or Deals are extracted and linked to the corresponding GoHighLevel record by file name match and parent record reference. Large file batches (>100MB aggregate) require pre-coordination for GoHighLevel storage planning. We do not migrate the document rendering pipeline; PDF previews and embedded links must be tested post-import.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Lime Go has no documented public REST API

    Lime Go does not publish a public REST API reference with rate limits. The platform supports generic HTTP authentication (OAuth1/OAuth2, Basic, Header, Query auth) via n8n HTTP Request nodes, but no granular endpoint documentation exists publicly. We handle this by using Lime Go's export capabilities and generic API endpoints discovered during scoping, with conservative request pacing and retry logic to avoid triggering undocumented throttling. This affects migration sequencing timelines and requires more manual discovery work than a platform with a published API.

  • Nordic enrichment database is read-only and does not migrate

    Lime Go's built-in Nordic company database of 3.7 million enriched business records is a read-only enrichment layer, not user-owned CRM data. It does not migrate as Contacts or Companies in GoHighLevel. We extract these as enrichment context during scoping and flag them separately so customers understand that prospecting enrichment data persists only if the destination CRM has its own enrichment provider or if they retain Lime Go for that specific purpose. This is a material gap for teams that rely heavily on the built-in Nordic prospecting database.

  • GoHighLevel workflows must be rebuilt manually

    GoHighLevel workflows are configured within its visual workflow builder and do not have an exportable schema that maps to Lime Go (which has no native automation builder). Any automation logic that the customer has implemented via n8n or other external tools against Lime Go must be documented during scoping and rebuilt in GoHighLevel's workflow engine post-migration. We do not migrate automations as code; we deliver a written inventory of each automation with its trigger, conditions, and actions for the customer's admin to rebuild.

  • GDPR consent records require custom field setup before import

    Lime Go's native GDPR functionality (consent history, anonymisation flags, external sharing controls) has no direct GoHighLevel equivalent. GoHighLevel does not have a built-in GDPR consent record type. We preserve consent history as Contact custom fields (consentGranted, consentDate, consentType, withdrawnDate) that we create in GoHighLevel before the Contact import phase. Anonymisation flags on Lime Go records require the customer to decide whether to suppress or pseudonymize the corresponding GoHighLevel Contact before migration.

  • GoHighLevel field type constraints may reject imported data

    GoHighLevel enforces field type constraints (text length, picklist whitelists, required fields) that Lime Go may not enforce with the same rigidity. Custom fields created in Lime Go with freeform text may contain values that GoHighLevel expects in a picklist or date field. We audit the Lime Go tenant schema during scoping, flag type mismatches, pre-create destination custom fields with the correct GoHighLevel field types, and reject or transform values that do not fit before bulk import to avoid silent data loss.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Lime Go to HighLevel data migration

  1. Discovery and API feasibility assessment

    We audit the Lime Go tenant across objects, custom fields, pipelines, tags, activity volume, document attachment count, and GDPR consent record count. Because Lime Go lacks a documented public REST API, we perform an API feasibility test using the customer's Lime Go credentials with generic HTTP authentication to map available endpoints and establish request pacing parameters. We pair this with a GoHighLevel account review to confirm pipeline and custom field configuration capability. The discovery output is a written migration scope with estimated timelines and a feasibility note on API access.

  2. Schema design and custom field creation in GoHighLevel

    We design the GoHighLevel destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating Contact custom fields for GDPR consent records (consentGranted, consentDate, withdrawnDate, consentType), creating Opportunity custom fields mapped from Lime Go Deal custom fields, and configuring GoHighLevel pipeline stages to match Lime Go pipeline stage names and probabilities. We configure any required Tags in GoHighLevel as flat label arrays matching Lime Go tag names. Custom objects are pre-created with the correct field types and lookup relationships.

  3. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a staging migration into a GoHighLevel test sub-account or the destination account with a limited record set (typically the first 500 records per object type). The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against the Lime Go source, and validates that pipeline stage mapping, GDPR field values, and tag assignments are correct. Any mapping corrections happen in the staging phase before the production migration begins. This step is critical because Lime Go's undocumented API may surface data in unexpected formats that require transformation logic updates.

  4. Owner and user reconciliation

    We extract every distinct Lime Go owner referenced on Contacts, Customers, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the GoHighLevel destination User table. Any Lime Go owner without a matching GoHighLevel User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Owner resolution must be complete before Deal and Activity import because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects in GoHighLevel.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order: GoHighLevel Users (manual provisioning validated), Companies (from Lime Go Customers), Contacts (with CompanyId resolved and GDPR custom fields populated), Opportunities (with CompanyId, OwnerId, and Pipeline stage resolved), Tasks and Activities (with Contact and Company lookups resolved), Reminders and History Notes, and finally Documents. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We apply conservative request pacing against Lime Go's undocumented API and exponential backoff to avoid triggering undocumented throttling.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff

    We freeze Lime Go writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver the workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team documenting any automations that need rebuilding in GoHighLevel's workflow builder. We support a five-day hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues surfaced by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Lime Go integrations or GoHighLevel workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Strengths

  • Built-in Nordic company database with 3.7 million enriched business records for instant prospecting.
  • Visual adjustable sales pipeline with clear stage-by-stage deal tracking and team performance views.
  • User-friendly interface that sales teams adopt rapidly without extensive onboarding or training costs.
  • GDPR-compliant features including anonymisation, consent history tracking, and external data sharing controls.
  • Competitive pricing model with €40/user/month positioned below enterprise CRM alternatives for scaling Nordic teams.

Weaknesses

  • Limited third-party integrations require manual email logging and create data silos across communication channels.
  • No native project management capabilities—insufficient for teams needing CRM plus project tracking in one tool.
  • Batch task operations unavailable—users cannot group-select and update multiple reminders simultaneously.
  • Commenting system lacks nested replies, restricting collaborative note structure and team discussion depth.
  • No publicly documented API rate limits or comprehensive public REST API reference, complicating automated migration tooling.

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 migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with straightforward pipeline structures. Migrations with custom fields, large activity histories (over 100,000 records), document attachment batches, or multi-pipeline Deal structures move to four to six weeks. The primary variable is the Lime Go API feasibility work required because the platform lacks a documented public REST API, which adds discovery time compared to platforms with published rate limits.
