Overview
Moving from Planfix to GoHighLevel is a migration from a deeply customizable all-in-one project-management platform to a marketing- and agency-focused CRM with built-in funnel and automation tools. Planfix stores Contacts, Projects, and Tasks as primary record types with a fluid schema that lets administrators rename almost every object label, meaning the visible name rarely matches the underlying API field key. We resolve this by snapshotting the Planfix workspace field schema via the API before any mapping begins. GoHighLevel's contact, opportunity, and custom object model is more rigid, so we transform Planfix's project hierarchies and time logs into GoHighLevel Opportunities and custom fields. Processes and Scripts that automate Planfix workflows cannot be replayed outside the platform and are documented for manual rebuild in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder. Whiteboard content has no export path and is flagged before migration begins.
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 Planfix 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.
Planfix
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Planfix Contact records map directly to GoHighLevel Contact records. Each Planfix contact has a profile card with contact info, linked tasks, files, and a history log. We export all standard contact fields (name, email, phone, address, company link) plus any custom properties defined in the workspace field schema. The email address serves as the dedupe key during GoHighLevel import.
Planfix
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Planfix Company records map to GoHighLevel Company records. Planfix allows linking contacts to companies; we preserve those relationships by resolving the Planfix company ID and creating the corresponding GoHighLevel Company record before importing linked contacts, then populating the Contact-Company relationship at migration time.
Planfix
Project
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Planfix Projects map to GoHighLevel Opportunities because both represent trackable revenue-bearing work with assignees, dates, and custom fields. Planfix project templates and task structures carry over as Opportunity details and related Tasks. We map Planfix project status and custom fields to GoHighLevel Opportunity pipeline stage and custom Opportunity fields.
Planfix
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1Planfix Tasks map to GoHighLevel Tasks. We preserve assignees, due dates, checklists, comments, and time logs. Task-to-contact and task-to-project linkages resolve via internal ID mapping during transformation: we replace Planfix IDs with GoHighLevel Contact IDs and Opportunity IDs before insert. Note that we bypass the Planfix Planner filter layer via the API to ensure no tasks are missed.
Planfix
Time Log
HighLevel
Custom Fields on Task
1:1Planfix time entries (logged via timers or manual entry) carry duration, date, and user attribution. We export each time entry as a structured value and store it in a custom field on the mapped GoHighLevel Task. For tasks with multiple time log entries, we aggregate total duration and store the count of entries as separate custom fields to preserve the full detail for billing and reporting review.
Planfix
Custom Fields
HighLevel
Custom Fields
lossyPlanfix supports text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, and file custom fields. Every Planfix workspace has a unique custom field schema with different names, types, and IDs, so we query the field definitions from the Planfix API before mapping any record. We then create equivalent custom fields in GoHighLevel (using GoHighLevel's custom field types) and map Planfix values to the correct GoHighLevel field. Skipping the schema snapshot means custom field values write to wrong columns in GoHighLevel.
Planfix
Workgroup
HighLevel
Team or Role
lossyPlanfix Workgroups are organizational units grouping users and shared permissions. Plan X allows up to 100 workgroups. We map workgroup memberships and roles to GoHighLevel Teams or Role assignments. GoHighLevel's team structure is less granular than Planfix workgroups, so we document the mapping differences and recommend admin review of GoHighLevel Team permissions post-migration to ensure appropriate access controls.
Planfix
Process and Script
HighLevel
Workflow (documented, not migrated)
1:1Planfix Processes and Scripts are automation objects triggered by contact or task events. They reference Planfix-specific field IDs and action types that cannot be replayed outside the platform. We export the Process and Script configuration as a written inventory document describing the trigger, conditions, and actions for each. The customer's admin rebuilds equivalents in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder. This is not a data migration — it is a manual rebuild task.
Planfix
Whiteboard Diagram
HighLevel
None
1:1Planfix Whiteboard content has no documented export format or API access. Whiteboard records are flagged as non-migratable before migration begins. If the customer requires a visual record, we capture screenshots, but the underlying block-based diagram data cannot be structured for import into GoHighLevel.
Planfix
Document Template
HighLevel
Document Template
1:1Planfix document templates use XLSX/XLSM files with template variables. The template files themselves can be exported from Planfix. Variable mappings are workspace-specific and may need field re-mapping for GoHighLevel's document generation context. We export the template files and note the variable-to-field mapping for the customer's admin to configure in GoHighLevel or the chosen replacement tool.

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.
Planfix gotchas
Custom field schemas vary per workspace
API rate limits are tier-gated and low
Task visibility filters cause apparent data loss
Process and Script objects are not portable
Whiteboard content has no export path
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 Planfix workspace audit
We audit the Planfix workspace across plan tier, custom field schemas, record volumes (contacts, companies, projects, tasks), active Processes and Scripts, time log volume, document templates, and whiteboard content. We query the Planfix API field definitions to build a per-workspace schema snapshot before mapping. We also identify the Planfix plan tier to size the API export strategy and confirm whether CSV fallback will be needed. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing all migratable objects, non-migratable objects, and the per-workspace field mapping table.
Schema design in GoHighLevel
We design the destination schema in GoHighLevel. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact, Company, Opportunity, and Task objects to match the Planfix field schema snapshot. We configure GoHighLevel pipeline stages to correspond to Planfix project statuses, and create any needed Custom Objects if the customer requires a project-specific record type. We map Planfix workgroup roles to GoHighLevel Teams and document permission differences for admin review.
Pilot migration and reconciliation
We run a pilot migration using a subset of records (typically 100-200 contacts and 200-500 tasks) into a GoHighLevel sandbox environment. The customer spot-checks mapped records against the Planfix source and confirms field mapping accuracy before full migration begins. Any custom field mapping corrections happen here. This step also validates that Planfix company-contact linkages resolve correctly to GoHighLevel Company records.
Full data migration in dependency order
We run full migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Planfix companies), Contacts (with Company lookup resolved), Opportunities (from Planfix projects with status mapped to pipeline stage), Tasks (with Opportunity and Contact lookups resolved), and Time Logs (as custom fields on tasks). For large exports we use the Planfix report-based CSV export to bypass API rate limits, then transform CSV records through the mapping table into GoHighLevel API inserts. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Process and Script inventory delivery
We export the configuration of every active Planfix Process and Script as a written inventory document. The document lists each Process or Script with its trigger type, conditions, field references, action sequence, and recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent. The customer's admin uses this document to rebuild automations in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder post-migration. We do not rebuild these as part of the data migration scope.
Cutover, delta sync, and handoff
We freeze Planfix writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then mark GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver the Process and Script inventory, the custom field mapping table, and the non-migratable asset log (Whiteboard screenshots, document templates for reconfiguration). We support a three-day hypercare window to resolve any immediate reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.

Timeline complexity
8-object category — typical timelines run 2–7 days end-to-end.
API constraints
Planfix: Per-account rate limits depend on the paid package tier. Error 9004 is returned for 'Request creation rate limit exceeded'. List endpoints return a maximum of 100 results per request, requiring pagination for larger datasets..
Data volume sensitivity
Planfix doesn't expose a bulk API — REST + parallelization used for high-volume runs.
