Overview
MarketSharp organizes data around leads, customers, and jobs for the home improvement and contractor vertical — a model centered on appointment scheduling, project tracking, and follow-up sequences tied to specific product or service categories. HighLevel uses a contact-centric CRM with pipelines, opportunities, companies, tags, and a Workflow Builder for automation — a fundamentally different architecture that separates contact data from deal progression. FlitStack AI migrates MarketSharp contacts, companies, jobs, and historical activities (notes, tasks) into HighLevel's standard objects, creates custom fields for MarketSharp custom lead fields and job-specific properties, and maps job pipeline stages to HighLevel opportunity stages. The migration exports MarketSharp data via their REST API and loads through HighLevel's Contacts API using field-level mapping validated against a pre-run sample. Automations, sequences, and follow-up rules do not transfer — we export your workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your HighLevel admin. Sub-account structure and white-label settings are configuration tasks handled on the HighLevel side post-migration.
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 MarketSharp 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.
MarketSharp
Contact / Lead
HighLevel
Contact
1:1MarketSharp stores contact records as 'Leads' or 'Customers' in its CRM. These map directly to HighLevel Contacts. The contact's email, phone, name, address, and company association transfer as standard HighLevel fields. Contacts without a company link create as standalone HighLevel contacts with a tag marking their original MarketSharp status.
MarketSharp
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1MarketSharp company records—including business name, address, website, and industry—map directly to HighLevel Companies using a one‑to‑one field correspondence. The company's primary contact is linked through HighLevel's built‑in contact‑company association, preserving the relationship. If MarketSharp contains parent‑child or hierarchical company structures, those relationships are replicated in HighLevel using the Company‑to‑Company link feature, ensuring that corporate groups remain intact after migration.
MarketSharp
Job
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1MarketSharp Jobs are the core sales object representing a contractor project or service sale. Jobs carry properties like job type, product category, status, estimated amount, and appointment data. In HighLevel, Jobs map to Opportunities with a custom field (Job_Type__c or similar) preserving the original MarketSharp job type category. Each MarketSharp job status becomes a HighLevel pipeline stage.
MarketSharp
Custom Lead Fields
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1MarketSharp custom lead fields (contractor-specific properties like 'Project Type', 'Referral Source', 'Insurance Claim #') have no direct HighLevel equivalent. FlitStack creates matching custom fields on the HighLevel Contact object before migration and populates them with values from MarketSharp. Field types (text, picklist, date, number) are matched to their HighLevel equivalents.
MarketSharp
Job Custom Fields
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Opportunity
1:1MarketSharp allows custom fields on job records beyond the standard job properties. These migrate to custom fields on HighLevel Opportunities. The job-specific nature requires a custom field prefix (e.g., MS_Job_Custom_) to distinguish them from contact-level custom fields during the migration.
MarketSharp
Appointment / Calendar Event
HighLevel
Calendar Event + Task
1:1MarketSharp stores appointments with date, time, assigned salesperson, and appointment type. HighLevel's Calendar Events capture the same data — start/end time, assigned user, and a custom field for the original MarketSharp appointment type. Cancelled or rescheduled appointments migrate as completed events with a status flag preserved in a custom field.
MarketSharp
Note / Activity Log
HighLevel
Contact Note or Activity
1:1MarketSharp notes attached to contacts or jobs migrate to HighLevel Contact Notes. Notes preserve the original create date (as a custom date field since HighLevel Notes use insertion time), the creating user (matched by email to HighLevel users), and the note body text. Notes linked to specific jobs carry a tag linking them to the corresponding Opportunity.
MarketSharp
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1MarketSharp stores contact labels such as 'Hot Lead', 'Insurance Job', or 'Referral' as tags attached to each record. HighLevel provides a native Tags object that can be applied to contacts, companies, and opportunities. FlitStack transfers every MarketSharp label to a matching HighLevel tag using the same spelling and casing, so the original segmentation logic remains intact and can be used for filtering, reporting, and automation in the new system.
MarketSharp
Owner / Salesperson
HighLevel
User (assigned via OwnerId)
1:1MarketSharp assigns jobs and contacts to salespeople. HighLevel assigns records to users by email match. FlitStack resolves MarketSharp owner names or IDs to HighLevel user email addresses. Unresolved owners are flagged before migration — you either invite them to HighLevel first or assign their records to a fallback user.
MarketSharp
Division / Branch
HighLevel
Sub-Account or Tag
1:1MarketSharp divisions organize data by team or branch. HighLevel's sub-account model isolates data per client or team. If your MarketSharp account uses divisions to separate client data, these map to separate HighLevel sub-accounts. If divisions separate internal teams within one business, they map to a custom tag (Division__c) on contacts and opportunities instead.
MarketSharp
Attachment / File on Job
HighLevel
External Link or Custom Field
1:1MarketSharp allows file attachments on job records (proposals, photos, contracts). HighLevel does not store files natively on Opportunities. FlitStack extracts file URLs from MarketSharp and stores them in a custom field (MS_Attachments__c) on the Opportunity as a text list of download links. For critical files, an external storage strategy (Google Drive, Dropbox) is recommended post-migration.
MarketSharp
Proposal / Estimate
HighLevel
Custom Field or Opportunity Note
many:1MarketSharp proposals and estimates are linked to jobs but stored as separate records. HighLevel does not have a native proposal object. The proposal amount, status, and link are merged into the corresponding Opportunity as custom fields (Proposal_Amount__c, Proposal_Status__c, Proposal_Link__c). Full proposal documents require a separate file migration step.

Migration approach
Audit MarketSharp data and export configuration
FlitStack connects to your MarketSharp account through the REST API to enumerate every object type, custom field definition, job type, pipeline configuration, and owner assignment. The audit extracts a full record count per object, flags fields that lack a direct HighLevel counterpart, and captures metadata such as pick-list values and required flags. The result is a detailed migration scope document that outlines the exact field mapping, data transformation rules, and any custom handling required before data movement begins.
Configure HighLevel custom fields and pipeline stages
Before migration, FlitStack creates all required custom fields in HighLevel (Contacts and Opportunities) matching the MarketSharp custom lead fields and job custom fields. We create a pipeline with stages mapped to your MarketSharp job statuses. If you use divisions, we set up sub-accounts and communicate the required configuration steps. This step runs in parallel with the audit and requires your HighLevel admin credentials.
Resolve owners and map division structure
MarketSharp owner records are matched by email to existing HighLevel users. We generate a match report — any owner without a corresponding HighLevel user is flagged for your team to either invite them to HighLevel or assign their records to a fallback owner. Division or branch data is mapped to your chosen structure (sub-accounts or Division__c tags) based on the scope document from Step 1.
Run sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice of 200–500 records (spanning contacts, companies, jobs, and notes) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing the source value, mapped field, and destination value for every mapped property. You review the diff to verify custom field mapping, owner resolution, and stage correspondence before the full run commits. Approval of the sample run triggers the production migration.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates through HighLevel's Contacts and Opportunities API. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after completion) captures any records created or modified in MarketSharp during the cutover. FlitStack generates a final reconciliation report comparing record counts, field coverage, and owner resolution. One-click rollback is available if the report reveals data integrity issues. Post-migration, your team rebuilds workflows in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using the exported automation definitions.
