Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from myCRMS.com to GoHighLevel is a structural upgrade from a basic CRM to an all-in-one agency operating system. myCRMS.com stores standard CRM records — contacts with custom fields, company records, and pipeline deals with stage data — that map directly to GoHighLevel's Contact, Location, and Opportunity objects. The key difference is that GoHighLevel treats companies as locations attached to contacts rather than standalone records, so we denormalize company fields during migration and attach them to the primary contact. We preserve deal stage assignments and owner assignments where the export exposes those fields, and flag any custom field schemas discovered during the pre-migration audit. GoHighLevel's workflow automations, funnels, and forms do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer to rebuild in GoHighLevel's automation builder.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

myCRMS.com

What's pushing teams away

  • Aged technical baseline — the vendor site lists system requirements of 'Internet Explorer 6.0 or compatible browser', a strong signal the product has not modernised, which scares off teams expecting current browser support and security posture.
  • Tiny public footprint — virtually no third-party reviews on G2, Capterra, GetApp, or Software Advice, making it hard for buyers to validate the product or compare against alternatives.
  • No documented public API, no developer portal, and no published rate-limit or authentication reference — integration-minded teams move to platforms with modern API surfaces.
  • Marketing channel mix references 'fax' as a primary outbound channel, indicating the product reflects late-1990s/early-2000s assumptions about sales workflows rather than current digital channels.
  • No published pricing tiers, customer count, or vendor company information makes long-term vendor risk hard to assess — buyers default to better-documented competitors.

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 myCRMS.com objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a myCRMS.com 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.

myCRMS.com

Contact

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

myCRMS.com Contact records map to GoHighLevel Contact. Standard fields (First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Address) migrate directly. We resolve any custom field values against the custom field schema discovered during pre-migration audit. Owner assignment migrates by email match to a GoHighLevel User. Tags stored as multi-select properties in myCRMS.com migrate to GoHighLevel Tags applied at import.

myCRMS.com

Company

maps to

HighLevel

Location (on Contact)

lossy
Fully supported

myCRMS.com Company records do not map to a standalone GoHighLevel object because GoHighLevel stores company data as Locations attached to the primary Contact. We denormalize company name, domain, industry, and address fields and attach them as the primary Location on the associated Contact. If a Company has multiple associated Contacts in myCRMS.com, each Contact receives the same Location data. The customer's admin specifies during scoping which Contact is the primary for each Company.

myCRMS.com

Deal

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

myCRMS.com Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. Deal name becomes Opportunity Name. Deal value maps to Amount. The deal pipeline and stage assignment maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline and Stage that we configure in the destination account before migration. We preserve any deal-level custom fields as Opportunity Custom Fields in GoHighLevel.

myCRMS.com

Deal Stage

maps to

HighLevel

Pipeline Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Each myCRMS.com deal pipeline becomes a GoHighLevel Pipeline. Stage names migrate to GoHighLevel Stage names within the corresponding Pipeline. Stage probability percentages round to GoHighLevel's allowed integer format. Closed-won and closed-lost stage outcomes map to the equivalent GoHighLevel status values.

myCRMS.com

Custom Field

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Field or Opportunity Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

myCRMS.com custom fields attach to whichever object they were configured on (Contact, Company, or Deal). We create matching GoHighLevel custom fields during pre-migration: Contact-attached fields become GoHighLevel Contact Custom Fields; Deal-attached fields become GoHighLevel Opportunity Custom Fields. Field data types map to GoHighLevel equivalents (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox). Note that GoHighLevel does not allow a field to be switched between Contact and Opportunity scope after creation.

myCRMS.com

Owner

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

myCRMS.com Owner assignments on Contact, Company, and Deal records map to GoHighLevel User by email address match. Any owner in myCRMS.com without a matching GoHighLevel User is flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer's admin to provision before record import. GoHighLevel's sub-account model means Users may need to be assigned to specific sub-accounts; we confirm the target sub-account during scoping.

myCRMS.com

Smart List

maps to

HighLevel

Saved View / Filter

lossy
Fully supported

myCRMS.com Smart Lists (saved filtered views of contacts) migrate as GoHighLevel Saved Views. We document each Smart List's filter criteria during the pre-migration audit and recreate those criteria as GoHighLevel filter rules on the Contacts list view. Smart Lists that include dynamic criteria (such as recent activity or date ranges) are noted as requiring manual recreation in GoHighLevel since the filter syntax differs.

myCRMS.com

Tag

maps to

HighLevel

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

myCRMS.com contact tags migrate to GoHighLevel Tags. Tags apply at the Contact level in both systems, so the mapping is direct. If a tag in myCRMS.com uses a naming convention incompatible with GoHighLevel's tag format, we normalize it. Tags used for segmentation migrate alongside contact records and are available for use in GoHighLevel workflow triggers immediately after migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Company denormalization requires primary-contact designation

    GoHighLevel does not have a standalone Company or Account object; company data lives as Locations attached to Contacts. If a myCRMS.com Company has multiple associated Contact records, each Contact will receive the same company Location data. During scoping, the customer specifies which Contact is the primary for each Company so that CRM reporting on company-level metrics references the correct primary Contact. Skipping this step results in duplicate Location entries and unclear company attribution in GoHighLevel reports.

  • Custom fields must be created before import

    GoHighLevel requires custom fields to exist before data can be imported into them. We create Contact Custom Fields and Opportunity Custom Fields during the pre-migration phase using the schema discovered during the myCRMS.com audit. Once a custom field is created in GoHighLevel, its object scope (Contact vs Opportunity) cannot be changed. If a myCRMS.com custom field was attached to a Deal and the customer later wants it on a Contact, it must be recreated as a new field.

  • GoHighLevel workflow automations do not migrate

    GoHighLevel automations are built in a visual workflow builder with triggers, conditions, delays, and actions that have no direct equivalent in myCRMS.com. We do not migrate automations as code. We deliver a written inventory of every myCRMS.com Smart List and automation trigger with its conditions and recommended GoHighLevel workflow equivalent. The customer's admin or a GoHighLevel specialist rebuilds these in the automation builder post-migration. Form triggers and funnel entry points similarly require rebuild in GoHighLevel's funnel builder.

  • Notes and Tasks require object attachment

    GoHighLevel Notes and Tasks attach to a Contact, Opportunity, or other record. We migrate notes as GoHighLevel Notes linked to the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record. Tasks migrate with their due date, status, and assigned user preserved. Any orphaned notes or tasks in myCRMS.com (not attached to a Contact, Company, or Deal) are flagged for manual attachment by the customer's admin before migration.

  • myCRMS.com export format requires preprocessing

    myCRMS.com export endpoints produce CSV files that require UTF-8 encoding verification, date format normalization (YYYY-MM-DD for GoHighLevel compatibility), and special character removal before import. We perform this preprocessing as part of the migration pipeline. Contacts without a valid email address are flagged and excluded from the primary import; the customer decides whether to correct and reimport or accept the exclusion.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful myCRMS.com to HighLevel data migration

  1. Discovery and myCRMS.com audit

    We audit the myCRMS.com account for record counts (Contacts, Companies, Deals), custom field schemas, owner assignments, Smart List definitions, and any exported activity or engagement data. We document the pipeline names, stage names, and stage order for each deal pipeline. The audit output is a written migration scope that defines the exact object mapping, field mapping, and custom field creation list for GoHighLevel.

  2. GoHighLevel account setup and schema creation

    We configure the destination GoHighLevel account: creating Pipelines and Stages that match the myCRMS.com deal structure, creating Contact Custom Fields and Opportunity Custom Fields per the discovered schema, setting up Tags, and confirming the target sub-account assignment for the migration. GoHighLevel requires custom fields to exist before import, so this step completes before any data is exported from myCRMS.com.

  3. Export and data preprocessing

    We extract Contact, Company, Deal, and Owner records from myCRMS.com using available export endpoints. The CSV output is preprocessed: UTF-8 encoding verified, date formats normalized, special characters removed, and email addresses validated. We denormalize Company fields into Location data attached to the primary Contact per the scoping decisions. Owner emails are matched against the GoHighLevel User list and flagged if a match is not found.

  4. Contact and Company migration

    We import Contacts into GoHighLevel via the native contact import endpoint, applying Location data from the denormalized Company records and applying Tags from the myCRMS.com tag field. Owner assignments resolve by email match. Custom field values populate into the pre-created GoHighLevel custom fields. We run a row-count reconciliation against the myCRMS.com export to verify completeness.

  5. Deal and Opportunity migration

    We import Deals into GoHighLevel as Opportunities, mapping each to the corresponding Pipeline and Stage configured in step two. Opportunity amounts, close dates, and deal-level custom fields populate directly. Owner assignments resolve against the GoHighLevel User mapping. We verify the stage distribution matches the myCRMS.com source before proceeding.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff

    We freeze writes to myCRMS.com during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then hand off the written automation and Smart List inventory to the customer's admin. We support a brief hypercare window for reconciliation questions. GoHighLevel workflow rebuilds, funnel recreation, and form setup are outside migration scope and are handled by the customer's admin or a GoHighLevel implementation partner.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Browser-only delivery with no client install.
  • Sales pipeline, opportunity tracking, and multi-period forecasting included in core product.
  • Marketing automation across email, letter, and fax channels bundled in.
  • Month-to-month cancellation (one month's notice) lowers commitment risk.
  • Free trial available without annual commitment.

Weaknesses

  • Vendor site lists IE 6.0 as a supported browser — suggests the product has not modernised.
  • Virtually no public third-party reviews on G2, Capterra, or other major directories.
  • No documented public API or developer portal.
  • Marketing copy references fax as an outbound channel, indicating outdated workflow assumptions.
  • No published pricing tiers, customer count, or vendor company information.

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 four weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with a straightforward custom field schema. Migrations with complex custom field types, multiple deal pipelines with many stages, large activity histories, or multi-sub-account GoHighLevel destinations move to six to ten weeks because of schema design time, field type mapping, and GoHighLevel configuration validation.
