Overview
PromoXcrm is a vertical CRM for promotional products distributors with industry-specific objects — Commission Records, Projects, Presentations — that generic CRMs do not model natively. GoHighLevel uses Custom Objects to receive this data, but the destination schema must be created before any import. We audit PromoXcrm's full data footprint during discovery, probe the API directly where no public documentation exists, export CSV where the API proves unreliable, and map PromoXcrm's promo lifecycle stages (Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed) to GoHighLevel pipeline stages configured in the destination before migration begins. Automation rules, task-generation logic, client portal configurations, and native integrations (Xero, Stripe, Mailchimp) do not migrate; we document each for manual rebuild in GoHighLevel.
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 PromoXcrm 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.
PromoXcrm
Lead
HighLevel
Contact
1:1PromoXcrm Leads map to GoHighLevel Contacts. PromoXcrm's industry-specific pipeline stages (Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed) are text fields that we map to GoHighLevel pipeline stage values configured before migration. Any PromoXcrm custom fields on the Lead record require corresponding GoHighLevel custom field creation; we document each field name, type, and options in the pre-migration schema sheet.
PromoXcrm
Client
HighLevel
Contact + Company
1:1PromoXcrm Client records (the distributor's end customers) map to GoHighLevel Contacts with an associated Company record when a company name is present. Standard fields — name, email, phone, address — migrate directly. Any promo-specific custom properties on the Client record (client tier, preferred supplier, referral source) require GoHighLevel custom field creation before import.
PromoXcrm
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline + Stages
lossyPromoXcrm pipelines with promo lifecycle stages map to GoHighLevel Pipelines. We pre-create the GoHighLevel pipeline and configure stage names matching PromoXcrm's workflow (Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed, Fulfilled). Stage probability values migrate as GoHighLevel stage probabilities. Pipeline assignment per deal is preserved in a custom field if the destination GoHighLevel account uses multiple pipelines.
PromoXcrm
Project
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1PromoXcrm Projects (individual promo orders or campaigns tied to a client) map to GoHighLevel Opportunities. We preserve the project name as the Opportunity name, the project status as a custom Opportunity status field, and link the Opportunity to the Contact and Company records created from the corresponding PromoXcrm Client. Projects without a deal value map with zero amount and a custom project_type__c field set to Project.
PromoXcrm
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1PromoXcrm Tasks migrate to GoHighLevel Tasks with assignee, due date, status, and description preserved. PromoXcrm's automated task-creation rules tied to pipeline stages do not transfer; we document each active automation as a written trigger-action pair with a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild.
PromoXcrm
Presentation
HighLevel
File (via Content)
1:1PromoXcrm Presentations are file assets stored within the CRM. We export available file references and metadata, then re-upload files to GoHighLevel's native file storage linked to the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record. Actual file hosting transfer depends on PromoXcrm's export capabilities; if PromoXcrm does not expose files via API or export, we document the file URLs and filenames for manual re-upload.
PromoXcrm
Commission Record
HighLevel
Custom Object
lossyCommission Records are a PromoXcrm-specific feature for tracking rep or distributor earnings on promo orders. GoHighLevel has no standard commission object; we create a GoHighLevel Custom Object (commission_records) with fields for rep name, order reference, commission amount, and payout status. The custom object schema must be created in GoHighLevel before any commission data can be imported via CSV. We coordinate the schema design with the customer during the schema design step.
PromoXcrm
Custom Object
HighLevel
Custom Object
1:1PromoXcrm's custom objects accessible via its web-service API migrate to GoHighLevel Custom Objects. We probe PromoXcrm's API during discovery to enumerate the custom object schema, then pre-create the corresponding GoHighLevel Custom Object definitions including fields, types, and lookup relationships before any data import. Each custom object requires CSV import into GoHighLevel after the schema is validated in a test run.
PromoXcrm
Integration settings
HighLevel
None
1:1PromoXcrm integrations with Xero, Stripe, and Mailchimp are native connection configurations, not data records. These settings do not export. We document which integrations were active in PromoXcrm, the credentials or OAuth connections required, and provide a reconnection guide for configuring equivalent integrations in GoHighLevel (GoHighLevel has native Stripe and Xero integrations plus a broader Zapier and webhook ecosystem).
PromoXcrm
Report and Dashboard
HighLevel
None
1:1PromoXcrm's reporting system generates analytics from live data. Saved report configurations and dashboard layouts are not exportable as standalone objects. We export the underlying data — Contacts, Deals, Tasks, Custom Objects — so that equivalent reports can be built in GoHighLevel using GoHighLevel's native reporting tools. We do not rebuild reports as part of the migration scope.

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.
PromoXcrm gotchas
No public API documentation or rate limit specification
Promo-specific objects have no direct equivalent in generic CRMs
Pricing inconsistency across sources may signal tier complexity
Workflow automations and task rules do not migrate
Vendor viability and support responsiveness are unverified
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 API probe
We conduct a structured discovery call to audit PromoXcrm's full data footprint: contact and company records, deal volume, task count, pipeline stages, active commission records, custom objects, file attachments, and any integrations with Xero, Stripe, or Mailchimp. We request PromoXcrm API credentials and run a direct API probe to determine which objects are accessible, what authentication is required, and what rate limits apply. If the API is undocumented or unreliable, we confirm CSV export availability and identify any records requiring manual extraction.
Schema design in GoHighLevel
We design the GoHighLevel destination schema before any data moves. This includes configuring GoHighLevel Pipelines with promo-specific stage names (Quote Sent, Artwork Approved, Order Confirmed), creating custom fields on Contact and Opportunity to receive PromoXcrm's industry-specific data points, and defining and deploying Custom Objects for Commission Records and any PromoXcrm custom objects. Schema is validated in the customer's GoHighLevel test environment before production migration begins.
Data export and preparation
We export data from PromoXcrm via API where accessible or via CSV where not. We clean and prepare the export: standardizing date formats to YYYY-MM-DD, encoding special characters as UTF-8, removing line breaks and emojis that cause import errors, validating email addresses, and resolving any orphaned records (contacts without a company reference). PromoXcrm's pipeline stage names are mapped to GoHighLevel stage values during this preparation step.
Staged import into GoHighLevel
We import data into GoHighLevel in dependency order: Contacts first, then Companies (linked to Contacts where a company name exists), then Opportunities (linked to Contact and Company with pipeline and stage assignment resolved), then Tasks with assignees and due dates, then Custom Objects via CSV import. File attachments are re-uploaded to GoHighLevel's native file storage and linked to the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record. Commission records are imported last via Custom Object CSV after the Commission Record custom object schema is validated.
Reconciliation and validation
We run a full reconciliation comparing record counts and field values in GoHighLevel against the PromoXcrm source export. We spot-check a sample of records across all object types to confirm field mapping accuracy, verify that pipeline stage assignments reflect the original PromoXcrm pipeline state, and confirm that Commission Record amounts and rep assignments landed correctly in the Custom Object. Any mapping errors are corrected before the migration is signed off.
Cutover and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze PromoXcrm access and run a final delta sync to capture any records modified during the migration window. GoHighLevel becomes the system of record once the delta is confirmed. We deliver a written automation inventory documenting every PromoXcrm task automation with a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent, an integration reconnection guide for Xero, Stripe, and Mailchimp, and a file re-upload checklist for any PromoXcrm Presentation assets that require manual re-hosting. We provide a one-week hypercare window for the customer to report any data gaps before closing the migration.
