Overview
NetHunt CRM uses a folder-based data model where every Contact, Lead, Company, and Deal lives as a Record within a named Folder, and there is no single API endpoint to export all CRM data at once. GoHighLevel uses a flat Contact and Opportunity model with Pipelines and stage-based automation. We resolve that structural difference by enumerating each NetHunt folder via the REST API, extracting all Records with their custom field schemas, and mapping them to GoHighLevel Contacts and Opportunities in the correct dependency order. Parent-record lookups (Contact-to-Company linkage, Opportunity-to-Contact linkage) are resolved before insert to avoid orphaned records. Call logs, email activities, and meeting records migrate to GoHighLevel Activities with timestamps preserved. NetHunt Workflows are automation rules trapped inside Gmail and NetHunt's web UI with no export mechanism; we document the full configuration during discovery and deliver it as a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's workflow builder. The migration runs through GoHighLevel's REST API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking, and we flag any attachments linked to external services that may need re-linking 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 NetHunt CRM 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.
NetHunt CRM
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1NetHunt Contact records (standard fields: name, email, phone, company association) map directly to GoHighLevel Contact records. Custom fields on the Contact record migrate to GoHighLevel custom fields. We read Contact records from each NetHunt Folder via the API and insert into GoHighLevel Contacts using email as the dedupe key. Company linkage from NetHunt (Contact-to-Company relationship) migrates after Company records are inserted so that the GoHighLevel Contact's company association resolves correctly.
NetHunt CRM
Lead
HighLevel
Contact or Opportunity
1:manyNetHunt's separate Lead object (distinct from Contact) requires a split decision based on lifecycle stage and pipeline assignment. Leads with an active sales engagement map to GoHighLevel Contacts attached to Opportunities. Leads that represent unqualified prospects with no associated Deal map to GoHighLevel Contacts with a tag indicating source system. The customer defines the split criteria during discovery based on their NetHunt Lead lifecycle configuration.
NetHunt CRM
Company
HighLevel
Contact (Company Field)
1:1NetHunt Company records map to GoHighLevel Contact records with the Company Name field populated. GoHighLevel does not have a standalone Account/Company object separate from Contact; instead, companies are represented as a field on Contact records. We create GoHighLevel Contacts for each unique Company record first, then link the associated Contact records by setting the Company Name field to match. This preserves the company-contact relationship for reporting and filtering in GoHighLevel.
NetHunt CRM
Deal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1NetHunt Deals map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. Deal fields (stage, value, responsible owner, expected close date, custom fields) migrate to GoHighLevel Opportunity fields. NetHunt pipeline assignments map to GoHighLevel Pipeline IDs that we configure during the setup phase. Deal stage probability percentages from NetHunt are recreated as stage weights in GoHighLevel pipeline stages.
NetHunt CRM
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline
lossyNetHunt's multiple pipelines with configurable stages per pipeline map to GoHighLevel Pipelines with stage definitions. We read each NetHunt pipeline's stage names and probabilities via the API and create matching GoHighLevel Pipelines with corresponding stage sequences. Stage-to-stage mapping is 1:1; any stage values not available in GoHighLevel are created as custom stage names. Pipeline configuration happens before Deal migration to ensure stage assignments are valid at insert time.
NetHunt CRM
Folder (as data container)
HighLevel
Tag
lossyNetHunt Folders organize Records but have no direct GoHighLevel equivalent. We use Tags in GoHighLevel to replicate folder-based segmentation. Each NetHunt Folder name becomes a Tag in GoHighLevel that we apply to all Records migrated from that Folder. This preserves the organizational context of which folder a Contact, Lead, or Deal originated from, enabling filtering and reporting by original NetHunt folder post-migration.
NetHunt CRM
Activity: Email
HighLevel
Activity
1:1NetHunt email activities linked to Contacts and Deals migrate to GoHighLevel Activities with type Email. Email body content migrates as the activity description, and the original timestamp is preserved as the activity date. Attachments on emails are noted as URLs requiring re-attachment post-migration if they reference external services.
NetHunt CRM
Call Log
HighLevel
Activity
1:1NetHunt Call Logs (duration, direction, notes, associated Contact or Deal) migrate to GoHighLevel Activities with type Call. Direction (inbound/outbound) and duration in seconds transfer to GoHighLevel activity fields. Call dispositions and notes migrate to the activity description. Call logs are migrated after their parent Contact records exist in GoHighLevel to satisfy the contact association.
NetHunt CRM
Custom Field
HighLevel
Custom Field
lossyNetHunt custom fields are defined per Folder and vary across the data model. We enumerate each Folder's custom field schema during discovery, create equivalent custom fields in GoHighLevel (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) before migration begins, and map field values during the record import phase. Custom field definitions are captured in a schema manifest delivered alongside the migration output.
NetHunt CRM
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1NetHunt tags on Records migrate as GoHighLevel Tags applied to the corresponding Contact, Lead, or Opportunity. Tags are string values migrated as-is and deduplicated by name. Any tags that conflict with existing GoHighLevel tags are prefixed with the source system name to avoid collision.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and folder enumeration
We authenticate to NetHunt via Basic auth (email + API key) and enumerate all accessible Folders using GET /folders. For each Folder, we retrieve the custom field schema and record count. We export a full data inventory (Contacts, Leads, Companies, Deals, Activities, Call Logs, Tags) from each Folder, noting any Folders with empty record sets. The discovery output includes a folder-to-tag mapping plan, a custom field schema manifest per Folder, and a record count breakdown by object type and Folder for timeline estimation.
GoHighLevel pipeline and field configuration
Before any data migration, we configure the GoHighLevel destination. This includes creating Pipelines with stage definitions matching each NetHunt pipeline, setting stage probabilities, and creating any custom fields needed for the NetHunt custom field schema. We also define Tags for each NetHunt Folder to preserve organizational context. Pipeline configuration is validated in GoHighLevel before record migration begins. Custom fields are created as text, number, date, dropdown, or checkbox types depending on NetHunt field data types.
Company record seeding
NetHunt Companies are inserted into GoHighLevel as Contact records with the Company Name field populated. This step runs first because Contact records that reference companies need a matching Company Name value to satisfy the relationship. We deduplicate by company name and apply any company-level tags derived from the source Folder.
Contact and Lead migration with deduplication
NetHunt Contacts and Leads migrate to GoHighLevel Contacts. We use email as the primary dedupe key. For each Contact, we set the Company Name field to match the corresponding NetHunt Company record, apply tags for the source Folder, and map all custom field values. Leads are migrated using the split criteria defined during scoping (contact vs opportunity attachment). Contact migration runs before Activity migration because Activities reference Contact records.
Opportunity migration with pipeline linkage
NetHunt Deals migrate to GoHighLevel Opportunities linked to the appropriate Contact (and thereby to the Company via the Contact's Company Name field). Each Opportunity is assigned to the GoHighLevel Pipeline and stage matching the NetHunt pipeline and stage. Owner assignment migrates by resolving NetHunt owner email to a GoHighLevel User. Any Deal-specific custom fields map to Opportunity custom fields.
Activity and Call Log migration
Email activities, call logs, and meeting records migrate to GoHighLevel Activities in reverse chronological order where feasible to preserve timeline sequence. Call logs include duration and direction fields. Email body content migrates as the activity description. Activities reference their parent Contact by GoHighLevel Contact ID resolved via email lookup. We batch Activity imports to avoid overwhelming GoHighLevel API rate limits and log each batch's insert count for reconciliation.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to NetHunt during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial export, then confirm GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver a row-count reconciliation report comparing source record counts to destination insert counts, a custom field schema manifest showing NetHunt field to GoHighLevel field mappings, and a written automation inventory documenting every NetHunt Workflow with recommended GoHighLevel equivalents. We do not rebuild workflows in GoHighLevel; that is a separate engagement handled by your admin or a GoHighLevel implementation partner.
