Overview
RealGreen by WorkWave organizes data around a Customer–Property–Program hierarchy: customers own properties, programs define recurring service offerings (fertilization, weed control, aeration), and work orders link crews to property addresses with GPS timestamps. HighLevel uses Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities (deals/pipelines) as its core objects, with a tag-based segmentation model that replaces RealGreen's program associations. HighLevel has no native property object; properties map to a custom object linked to Contacts. We migrate all standard customer records (names, phones, emails, addresses), property specs (lot size, turf type, irrigation flags, chemical restrictions), service programs with pricing and frequency, work order history with dates and completion status, and estimates/proposals with line items. Automations, dynamic routing rules, Customer Notifications triggers, and third-party integrations do not migrate — we export their definitions as rebuild reference documents. FlitStack AI reads RealGreen via API export and bulk-loads into HighLevel using its REST API, preserving original create dates, owner assignments by email match, and the property-to-contact linkage. A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified during the cutover window so HighLevel reflects RealGreen's final state at go-live.
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 RealGreen by WorkWave 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.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Customer
HighLevel
Contact + Company
1:1RealGreen 'Customer' records contain both individual contact fields and company fields. We split these into HighLevel Contact (person-level) and Company (organization-level) records. The primary company link populates Contact.CompanyId; any secondary company associations require a junction relationship using a custom linking object to maintain multiple organizational connections per contact.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Customer (address fields)
HighLevel
Contact (address custom fields)
1:1Customer street, city, state, ZIP, and country fields map directly to HighLevel Contact address fields. These serve as the primary service location in the absence of a separate Property record for simple accounts. When a dedicated Property record exists, the contact address becomes the billing address while the property address drives field service routing.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Property
HighLevel
Property (Custom Object)
1:1HighLevel has no native property object. We create a Property__c custom object linked to the Contact record via a lookup relationship. The object stores lot size, turf type, irrigation type, chemical restrictions, access codes, mowing height, service frequency, and property-specific notes from RealGreen. All field-level property specifications migrate as custom fields on this object.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Property (linked to multiple customers)
HighLevel
Property + Junction Custom Object
many:1RealGreen supports N:N customer-to-property relationships (e.g., a property shared by a homeowner and a property manager). In HighLevel we create a Property_Customer junction custom object to preserve these associations by linking the Property custom object to each Contact record that shares access or billing responsibility for the property.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Program
HighLevel
Program (Custom Object)
1:1RealGreen Programs (recurring service packages with annual pricing, frequency, and service scope) have no HighLevel equivalent. We migrate programs as a custom object with fields for service name, frequency, annual price, and billing term — your admin rebuilds billing logic in HighLevel's invoicing tools.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Program (service line items)
HighLevel
Opportunity Line Items
1:1Individual services within a Program (e.g., Spring Fertilization, Core Aeration, Weed Control) can map to Opportunity Products or Line Items in HighLevel. We preserve service name, unit price, quantity, and the original service description. Bundle pricing from multi-service programs requires a custom discount field to capture the original program discount structure applied across line items.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Work Order
HighLevel
Task (or WorkOrder Custom Object)
1:1RealGreen work orders (status, scheduled date, crew assignment, service notes, completion timestamp, GPS log) map to HighLevel Tasks with custom status pick-list fields mirroring RealGreen's WorkOrderStatus vocabulary. Crew assignment resolves by email match to corresponding HighLevel user accounts so the task lands with the correct technician owner.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Work Order (signature)
HighLevel
Task (custom field)
1:1Work order completion signatures captured in RealGreen are stored as a link or base64-encoded custom field on the corresponding HighLevel Task record. Original signatory name, signature image, and timestamp are preserved in the custom field. The signature file is re-uploaded to HighLevel's document storage and linked from the custom field.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Estimate / Proposal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1RealGreen Estimates map directly to HighLevel Opportunities. Estimate name, total amount, status, and create date migrate as corresponding Opportunity fields. Line items migrate as Opportunity Products. Pending estimates land as open pipeline stages; accepted estimates automatically mark the Opportunity as Closed Won with the winning amount preserved.
RealGreen by WorkWave
User / Owner
HighLevel
Contact.OwnerId (by email)
1:1RealGreen owner and user IDs are resolved by matching the stored email address against existing HighLevel user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report with clear error codes — your team either creates HighLevel user accounts for them or designates a fallback owner before the migration batch runs to prevent records from landing without an owner assignment.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Attachment / Document
HighLevel
Contact / Task Custom Field (URL)
1:1Documents attached to RealGreen customer records or work orders are downloaded from the source system, then re-uploaded to HighLevel's document storage. A custom URL field on the Contact or Task record references the file location in HighLevel's storage. Original file names, MIME types, and upload timestamps are preserved in metadata fields for auditability.
RealGreen by WorkWave
Tag / Flag Code
HighLevel
Contact Tag
1:1RealGreen flag codes and customer classification tags (e.g., 'Commercial Account', 'HOA Property', 'Priority Client') migrate as HighLevel Contact tags. Multiple tags per contact are supported natively in HighLevel's tag taxonomy, allowing complex customer segmentation to transfer without requiring custom field creation for each tag category.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Connect RealGreen API and audit the full data export
FlitStack AI authenticates against your RealGreen account using API credentials and performs a discovery export of all accessible objects: Customers, Properties, Programs, Work Orders, Estimates, Users, and any custom fields. We generate a data quality report flagging duplicate records, missing email addresses, N:N property-to-customer relationships, and records with null required fields. You approve the data export scope before mapping begins.
Design the HighLevel custom object schema before data loads
We create the Property__c custom object in HighLevel with all property-spec fields (lot size, turf type, irrigation type, chemical restrictions, access code, mowing height). If your RealGreen setup uses N:N property-to-customer relationships, we design a Property_Customer junction custom object. We create the Program__c custom object with annual price, service scope, and billing frequency fields. Your HighLevel admin approves the schema before we begin any data writes.
Resolve owners and users by email match
RealGreen owner IDs are matched by email address to corresponding HighLevel user accounts during the migration process. Any owners without a matching HighLevel user are flagged in a pre-migration report with clear error codes — your team either creates HighLevel user accounts for those individuals or designates a fallback owner before the migration batch runs. Crew-level assignments on work orders resolve to the crew lead's HighLevel user account to ensure field-level task ownership transfers correctly. No record migrates without a resolved owner assignment, preventing orphaned records in the destination system.
Migrate in dependency order: Contacts → Companies → Properties → Programs → Work Orders → Estimates
We sequence the migration to respect foreign-key dependencies: Contacts land first with their Company links; Properties follow and link to Contacts; Programs are created as custom objects; Work orders migrate as Tasks with their custom field data and owner assignments; Estimates land as Opportunities with their pipeline stage mapping. This order ensures that every lookup and relationship resolves correctly on the first pass.
Run a sample migration and generate a field-level diff report
A representative sample — typically 50–200 records spanning customers, properties, work orders, and estimates across different record types — migrates first to validate the mapping logic. We produce a field-level diff comparing source and destination values for every mapped field so you can verify that property specs, program pricing, work order status, and estimate amounts landed correctly before committing the full dataset. The sample run also validates that junction object relationships resolve properly for multi-customer properties and that owner assignments map as expected across the board.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and deliver rebuild reference package
The full dataset migrates to HighLevel. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new records or status changes made in RealGreen during cutover. We deliver a complete audit log of all migrated records, any records that failed with error codes, and an exported CSV of your RealGreen automation definitions for HighLevel Workflow rebuild. FlitStack AI retains rollback capability for 72 hours post-migration.
