Overview
Moving from Netmera to GoHighLevel is a structural shift from a mobile-first engagement platform to an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation system. Netmera organizes data around Users with behavioral Events, Segments, and Journeys; GoHighLevel uses Contacts, Pipelines, Custom Objects, and Workflows. We extract Netmera user records via segment-based export, resolve the segment-to-tag mapping for GoHighLevel contacts, and migrate custom profile attributes as GoHighLevel custom fields. Behavioral event histories require normalization since Netmera counts Journey conversions per user while GoHighLevel counts per-occurrence. Push tokens are device-bound and non-transferable between providers; we flag this as a post-migration re-opt-in requirement. Workflows, Journeys, Widgets, and Campaigns do not migrate as configured assets; we deliver written inventories for the customer admin to rebuild. GDPR data processor considerations apply when exporting EU end-user data, requiring customer confirmation of legal authority before extraction.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Netmera 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.
Netmera
User
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Netmera Users map to GoHighLevel Contacts. We extract via segment-based export (Netmera has no bulk raw-user endpoint), creating a segment that captures the target population with frozen rules at scoping. User profile attributes map to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields, preserving attribute type (string, number, boolean, date). User email becomes Contact email and dedupe key. External ID is stored as a custom field for future sync resolution.
Netmera
Segment
HighLevel
Tag or Contact List
1:manyNetmera Segments define audience rules and serve as both targeting units and export sources. We map segment membership criteria to GoHighLevel Tags (applied to Contacts) or Contact Lists (group-based membership). Dynamic segments in Netmera that update automatically produce different counts at export time; we freeze segment rules at scoping and document the freeze timestamp for audit. Segment count and membership criteria are preserved as tag descriptions or list metadata in GoHighLevel.
Netmera
Profile Attribute
HighLevel
Custom Field
1:1Netmera custom profile attributes (string, number, boolean, date, array) map to GoHighLevel Contact Custom Fields with corresponding types. We create the destination schema before import, using GoHighLevel's custom field API. Attribute arrays stored as comma-separated values migrate to GoHighLevel multi-select picklist or text fields depending on cardinality. Default Netmera attributes (user_id, email, created_at, last_active) map to standard GoHighLevel Contact fields where equivalents exist.
Netmera
Device Information
HighLevel
Contact Custom Field (push_token placeholder)
lossyNetmera device records include push token, OS, and app version. Push tokens are device-bound to Netmera's APNs and FCM credentials and cannot transfer to GoHighLevel. We export device metadata (OS, app version, device model) as Contact custom fields and document the push token regeneration requirement. The customer plans a re-opt-in campaign or silent token refresh for active app users post-migration to restore push notification delivery.
Netmera
Campaign
HighLevel
Workflow + Email Template/SMS Template
lossyNetmera campaign records (push, in-app, SMS, email) include name, content, scheduling, and performance metrics. We migrate campaign metadata and content blocks to GoHighLevel as Workflows with corresponding Email or SMS Templates. Creative assets (images under 1MB, video under 12MB) are exported as files and documented for re-upload into GoHighLevel's media library. Campaign scheduling logic maps to GoHighLevel Workflow triggers and time-delay actions. Performance metrics (open rates, click rates) are preserved as a CSV inventory for the customer to re-enter into GoHighLevel reporting.
Netmera
Journey
HighLevel
Workflow
lossyNetmera Journeys define multi-step user-entry rules and channel steps with per-user conversion counting. We map the entry conditions and step sequence to GoHighLevel Workflow triggers and actions. Note that Netmera counts one conversion per user per journey; GoHighLevel Workflows count per-trigger-occurrence. We document this KPI definition discrepancy during scoping so the customer adjusts reporting expectations post-migration. Journey-to-workflow redesign is a manual rebuild scope documented in the handoff inventory.
Netmera
Event (Behavioral)
HighLevel
Activity (Task/Note)
1:1Netmera captures SDK-tracked events (page views, custom actions, trigger events) per user. We map event names and property keys to GoHighLevel Activities (Tasks with custom property fields or Notes attached to Contact). Event schemas vary by Netmera implementation; we normalize property values during transform and document any property keys that cannot map directly to GoHighLevel's flat field model. Historical event volume may be large; we batch via GoHighLevel's bulk import API with rate-limit handling.
Netmera
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Netmera tags label users and organize data. We map tag names and user associations to GoHighLevel Tags applied to Contacts. Netmera supports tagless data capture meaning some user records may have no tags; these migrate as untagged Contacts. Tag cardinality and naming conventions are preserved as-is.
Netmera
Survey/Feedback Response
HighLevel
Contact Custom Field or Survey Tool
1:1Netmera survey questions and response records map to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields for structured responses or to GoHighLevel's native Survey tool for display logic rebuild. Survey trigger conditions and display logic are platform-configured and do not migrate; we deliver a written survey configuration inventory for the customer admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel Surveys.

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.
Netmera gotchas
Segment-based export is the primary data extraction method
Push tokens are device-bound and non-transferable
Widget assets have hard file size limits
Journey conversion counting is user-based, not event-based
GDPR data processor role complicates EU data exports
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 segment definition
We audit the source Netmera portal across segments, custom profile attributes, behavioral events, campaign history, journey definitions, and device data volume. We work with the customer to define segment export rules that capture the full user base with frozen criteria at scoping time. We confirm the lawful basis for EU data export if any end-user data originates from EU residents. The discovery output is a written migration scope with segment coverage validation, custom field mapping table, and GDPR authorization checklist.
GoHighLevel schema provisioning
We provision the destination GoHighLevel schema before any data import. This includes creating Contact Custom Fields mapped from Netmera profile attributes, setting up Tags or Contact Lists mapped from Netmera segments, and configuring any Custom Objects that capture data not representable in standard Contact fields. We deploy into the customer's GoHighLevel account using the API. Workflows, Journeys, Widgets, and Campaigns are not created here; they are documented for the rebuild inventory.
Test segment export and field mapping validation
We run a test segment export against the frozen segment rules and validate coverage against the customer's expected user count. We import a sample of test records into GoHighLevel to confirm field mapping, dedupe key resolution, and custom field type compatibility. Any mapping corrections (attribute type mismatches, array field normalization) happen in this phase. We do not proceed to full production export until the test import is signed off by the customer.
Production data extraction and transform
We extract full data from Netmera using the validated segment export. We transform records according to the mapping table: Users to Contacts, profile attributes to custom fields, segments to tags, device metadata to custom fields (push tokens flagged for regeneration), behavioral events to Activities, and campaign content to template documentation. We apply GDPR data handling controls throughout extraction and transit. Each extraction phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.
GoHighLevel import and reconciliation
We import transformed records into GoHighLevel using the bulk import API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling. We reconcile record counts at each phase (Contacts in, Tags applied, Activities logged). We flag any records that fail import due to validation rules or required field gaps for customer admin resolution. Push token regeneration requirements are documented as a separate operational task for the customer's mobile team to execute post-migration.
Cutover, handoff inventory, and rebuild documentation
We deliver the written migration inventory to the customer admin: active Journey definitions mapped to recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalents, campaign content and scheduling logic requiring rebuild in GoHighLevel, widget assets requiring re-upload, survey configurations requiring rebuild in GoHighLevel Surveys, and push token regeneration runbook. We do not rebuild Journeys, Workflows, Widgets, or Campaigns as configured assets; that is a separate engagement. We support a 72-hour hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during initial GoHighLevel use.
