Overview
Teams move from Pega Platform to HighLevel when licensing costs and implementation complexity no longer justify the enterprise feature set — HighLevel's flat-rate pricing ($97–$497/month) with unlimited contacts appeals to organizations that outgrew Pega's per-case pricing model ($0.45–$0.80/case with 350,000-case minimums). The migration carries everything Pega stores as data pages, work parties, and case attachments into HighLevel's Contact, Company, Opportunity, and custom-object model. The harder problems are translating Pega's case-type architecture to HighLevel's pipeline-and-stage model, preserving work-party relationships as contact-opportunity associations, handling Pega's assignment history as HighLevel tasks, and rebuilding Pega's robotic process automation and decisioning rules in HighLevel's workflow builder. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: data pages first, then work parties, then case instances with their assignments and attachments. Workflows, automation rules, and decision tables must be rebuilt manually in HighLevel's visual workflow builder — we deliver a workflow specification document extracted from your Pega ruleset as a rebuild reference.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Pega Platform 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.
Pega Platform
Data Page
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Pega Data Pages containing party or customer data map to HighLevel Contacts. Each Data Page row becomes one Contact record, with standard properties such as name, email, phone, and address mapped to corresponding HighLevel fields. When a Data Page includes custom properties, those map to custom Contact fields, which must be created in HighLevel before migration. The mapping preserves data types and, where possible, uses name parity for straightforward field correspondence.
Pega Platform
Data Page (Company/Organization)
HighLevel
Company
1:1Pega Data Pages storing organizational entities map to HighLevel Companies. Organization‑level properties such as name, address, industry, website, employee count, and annual revenue map to the corresponding standard Company fields. Parent‑child organization hierarchies in Pega are translated into HighLevel’s Company relationship model, where the child organization is linked to the parent via a relationship field. Custom fields on the organization Data Page require pre‑creation in HighLevel before migration.
Pega Platform
Case Type
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Pega Case Types represent business processes, and each instance becomes a HighLevel Opportunity linked to the appropriate pipeline. The case label maps to the Opportunity name, and the case ID is stored in a custom field. Case status values translate to pipeline stage names via a value‑mapping table, while priority is saved in a custom Opportunity field created before migration. This preserves the business context of each case.
Pega Platform
Work Party (Contact Role)
HighLevel
Contact + Opportunity Contact Role
1:1Pega Work Parties attached to cases (e.g., Customer, Broker, Adjuster) map to HighLevel contact‑opportunity associations. Standard Pega party roles translate to built‑in HighLevel Opportunity Contact Roles, while non‑standard roles are stored in a custom Opportunity field (e.g., PartyRole__c) or as tags, preserving the original role name while linking the contact to the opportunity.
Pega Platform
Assignment (Task)
HighLevel
Task
1:1Pega Assignments represent work items assigned to operators. Each Assignment becomes a HighLevel Task linked to the parent Contact or Opportunity. Assignment status (Open, Resolved, Pending) maps to HighLevel Task status (pending, completed), and the original create date, assigner operator, and urgency level are preserved on the Task. If a due date exists, it is migrated as a custom date field for future workflow reminders.
Pega Platform
Case Attachment
HighLevel
Contact/Opportunity File Attachment
1:1Pega case attachments are downloaded and re‑uploaded to HighLevel as file attachments on the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record, preserving the original file name, description, and create date. Large files exceeding 25 MB use chunked upload handling for reliable transfer. This ensures all relevant documentation migrates alongside the case data.
Pega Platform
Custom Data Class
HighLevel
Custom Object
1:1Pega custom data classes (extending Pega’s class hierarchy) map one‑to‑one to HighLevel Custom Objects. Each custom property becomes a Custom Object field, and any relationships are translated to custom relationship fields or junction objects. N:N relationships in Pega require junction Custom Objects in HighLevel to preserve the many‑to‑many linkage. Your HighLevel admin must define the Custom Object schema before migration.
Pega Platform
Pega Operator (User)
HighLevel
HighLevel User
1:1Pega Operator IDs resolve to HighLevel users by email match. Unmatched operators are flagged before migration, giving your team the option to create HighLevel users for them or assign their case assignments to a fallback user. Operator work‑basket ownership is preserved where possible, and any operator-specific routing rules are documented for later configuration in HighLevel. This ensures that case ownership and assignment logic remain traceable throughout the migration.
Pega Platform
Decision Table / Decision Tree
HighLevel
Custom Field + Workflow Logic
1:1Pega’s AI‑powered Decision Tables and Decision Trees have no direct HighLevel equivalent. Decision logic is preserved in a specification document we deliver for manual rebuild in HighLevel’s Workflow Builder using conditional branches and tag‑based routing. The specification captures all condition columns, output values, priority order, and any dependent data references, giving your HighLevel admin a complete blueprint to reconstruct the decision logic as nested workflow conditions.
Pega Platform
Service Level Agreement
HighLevel
Custom Field + Workflow Due Date
1:1Pega SLA rules (deadline, urgency, actions on breach) have no native HighLevel equivalent. SLA parameters—deadline datetime, urgency level, and SLA name—are migrated as custom date or datetime fields on the Opportunity record. Rebuilding enforcement requires creating time‑triggered workflows that check the due date and send reminders or trigger escalations in HighLevel. We provide a complete SLA parameter export and rebuild specification to guide your HighLevel admin through the implementation.
Pega Platform
Pega Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
HighLevel
Not Migrated
1:1Pega RPA bots automate desktop interactions and cannot run in HighLevel, as there is no equivalent bot‑runner architecture. We document each bot’s trigger, action sequence, target application, and required credentials, providing a detailed playbook for your team to evaluate HighLevel workflow alternatives or third‑party RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Power Automate. This documentation ensures that automated desktop processes can be reconstituted after the migration, maintaining operational continuity.

Migration approach
Inventory Pega Data Pages, Case Types, and custom data classes
FlitStack AI connects to your Pega environment via REST API using read-only credentials. We enumerate all Data Pages, Case Types, Work Parties, Assignments, and custom data classes. We generate a data model inventory document listing each object, its field count, row count estimate, and relationship structure. This inventory drives the mapping plan and uncovers any custom data classes that require junction-object creation in HighLevel.
Resolve Pega operators to HighLevel users by email
Pega operator IDs and work‑basket assignments resolve to HighLevel users via email match. We export the full operator list, attempt email‑based matching against your HighLevel user list, and flag any unmatched operators for your team to act on before migration. Your team either creates HighLevel users for the unmatched operators or designates a fallback assignee for each. No case assignment lands in HighLevel without a resolved owner, and all mapping decisions are recorded in the migration plan for audit purposes.
Create HighLevel pipelines mapped from Pega Case Types
Each Pega Case Type becomes one HighLevel Pipeline. We deliver a detailed pipeline‑creation checklist that specifies pipeline names, stage names (mapped from Pega case statuses), and any custom fields required per pipeline, such as priority or region. We also provide a mapping table linking each Pega Case Type to its target pipeline ID, so your HighLevel admin can pre‑create the pipeline structure before the migration run. This ensures that stage values resolve correctly when case records land and that any case‑type‑specific logic is preserved through custom field values.
Migrate data in dependency order: Data Pages → Work Parties → Cases → Attachments
FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign‑key relationships resolve correctly. Data Pages (party and organization) migrate first to create Contact and Company records. Work Parties migrate next as contact‑opportunity associations, preserving role information. Case instances migrate as Opportunities using the pre‑created pipelines, with status mapped to pipeline stages. Attachments are downloaded from Pega and re‑uploaded to the corresponding HighLevel records, using chunked upload for files larger than 25 MB. Custom data classes migrate last, after all parent relationships are established, ensuring referential integrity throughout the process.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice (typically 100–500 records spanning multiple Case Types and Data Pages) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Pega values against destination HighLevel values. You verify that case statuses mapped to the correct pipeline stages, work-party roles resolved to the chosen role strategy, and operator assignments matched the expected HighLevel users. Full migration proceeds only after sample approval.
Delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover
Full migration runs against HighLevel with a delta‑pickup window of 24–48 hours that captures any cases created or modified in Pega after the initial export. Your team continues to work in Pega until go‑live, and the delta window ensures HighLevel reflects Pega’s final state at cutover. FlitStack tracks record change timestamps during the delta period and replays only the changed records to HighLevel, minimizing redundant writes. An audit log records every operation, and a reconciliation report highlights any discrepancies. If unexpected gaps are found, one‑click rollback is available to revert the HighLevel environment to its pre‑migration state.
