Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from RollWorks Account-Based Platform to GoHighLevel is a cross-category migration from an account-based advertising and orchestration layer into a full-stack agency CRM. RollWorks organizes around Account Lists, Journey Stages, and advertising engagement data synced to Salesforce; GoHighLevel uses Contacts, Pipelines, and Opportunities with built-in SMS, email, and scheduling. We map RollWorks Account List membership to GoHighLevel Companies and Contacts, translate Journey Stage field values into GoHighLevel pipeline stages or contact custom fields, and preserve the AdRoll custom object metrics (impressions, clicks, spend, page views) as GoHighLevel custom fields. Account Spike signals and intent scores migrate as numeric custom fields on the contact record. RollWorks Workflows, Journey Events, and advertising campaign configuration do not migrate as automation; we extract them separately and deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's automation builder. Advertising creative assets and live campaign data do not migrate.

Leaving

RollWorks Account-Based Platform logo

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

What's pushing teams away

  • Filter selection and segmenting abilities are repeatedly cited as limited, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint — teams needing granular audience builds outgrow the platform's segmentation.
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging the ABM product into the broader AdRoll advertising brand, which creates confusion for teams that selected RollWorks specifically for its standalone ABM positioning.
  • Pricing opacity and the sales-driven quote process push teams toward competitors with published pricing or self-service tiers, especially at the lower end of mid-market.
  • Visitor identification stays at the company level, not person level — teams needing individual contact attribution for ad targeting must layer in a separate contact-level tool.
  • Advanced ABM capabilities in competing platforms (6sense predictive buying stages, Demandbase account-based web personalization) outpace RollWorks for enterprise-tier requirements.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How RollWorks Account-Based Platform objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a RollWorks Account-Based 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.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account List

maps to

HighLevel

Company + Contact

1:many
Fully supported

RollWorks Account Lists are collections of target company domains. We extract the full list membership and split each entry into a GoHighLevel Company record (domain, company name, website) and one or more Contact records (name, email, phone, title). The Account List name and membership date migrate as a custom field on each Company. Account Group membership is preserved as a multi-select custom field on the Company. Website-based matching in RollWorks uses the Salesforce Website field; we replicate this logic in GoHighLevel by normalizing the domain from the Account List against the Company website field.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account Group

maps to

HighLevel

Folder or Tag

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Account Groups are collections of Account Lists used to segment campaigns and reporting. GoHighLevel does not have a native Account Group equivalent. We map each Account Group to a GoHighLevel Folder on the Company record or to a Contact Tag that segments the related contacts. The customer chooses the segmentation strategy during scoping.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Journey Stage

maps to

HighLevel

Pipeline Stage or Contact Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Journey Stages are derived from Salesforce field values synced through the CRM integration. Each Journey Stage name and its associated field value are extracted and mapped to either a GoHighLevel Pipeline Stage (if the customer wants stage-based pipeline visibility) or a contact-level custom field (if they prefer stage as a contact property). We preserve the original stage name as a custom field value for audit continuity.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Aggregated Account Data (Custom Salesforce Object)

maps to

HighLevel

Company Custom Field or Opportunity Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks writes aggregated engagement metrics to a custom Salesforce object linked to the Account record. Fields include keyword intent data, advertising data (spend, impressions, clicks, conversions), and engagement data (page views, unique visitors). We map these to GoHighLevel Company custom fields using the same field names and data types. If the customer uses Opportunities in GoHighLevel, advertising data can also land on Opportunity custom fields tied to the related account. This object is absent in most RollWorks-to-GHL migrations because the object only exists if the customer had a Salesforce sync configured; we audit for it during scoping.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Aggregated Contact/Lead Data (Custom Salesforce Object)

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks writes contact-level advertising and engagement data to a custom Salesforce object linked to Contact and Lead records. Fields include advertising data (spend, impressions, clicks, conversions) and engagement data (page views). We map these to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields with equivalent numeric and currency types. Note that GoHighLevel uses a combined Contact model rather than separating Leads from Contacts; we create a single contact record with a lead-status custom field for any records that originated as Salesforce Leads.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Contact / Hot Contact

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks Hot Contacts (deanonymized web visitors pushed to CRM as leads or contacts via workflow) are extracted from the connected Salesforce or HubSpot. We map them to GoHighLevel Contacts with the original engagement source (web visitor, advertising click, etc.) stored as a custom field. Note: RollWorks cannot associate Lead object activity to Accounts in Journey Events. Any Lead records without an Account association in Salesforce should be flagged during scoping; we recommend a Lead-to-Contact audit before migration.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Sales Insights / Account Spike Signals

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Field (numeric)

1:1
Mapping required

RollWorks Sales Insights surfaces accounts spiking with engagement and predicts x2 likelihood of becoming opportunities. The signal scores are written to Salesforce or HubSpot widgets. We map these to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields of numeric type, preserving the score and signal date. Because GoHighLevel has no native ABM scoring model, these fields give the customer's team a basis for prioritization without a dedicated ABM tool.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Workflow Definitions

maps to

HighLevel

Workflow Documentation (no migration)

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Workflows (Triggers and Actions) are defined in the AdRoll ABM orchestration layer, not in the connected CRM. We do not migrate workflows as code. We perform a dedicated Workflow extraction pass via the NextRoll API, capturing every active workflow's trigger conditions, filter logic, and action sequence. We deliver a written inventory of each workflow with its recommended GoHighLevel Automation equivalent (trigger type, conditions, actions). The customer's admin rebuilds the automations in GoHighLevel's workflow builder using the inventory as a specification.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Audience Segment

maps to

HighLevel

Smart List or Tag

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Audience Segments are built from RollWorks' own data and CRM field combinations with limited filter capabilities. We extract the segmentation rules (filter criteria, inclusion/exclusion logic) and document them as a written specification. In GoHighLevel, equivalent segmentation is rebuilt using Smart Lists (filter-based contact groups) or Tags applied to contact records. The segmentation rules do not auto-migrate because filter operators differ between platforms.

Pair-specific challenges

  • RollWorks custom Salesforce objects do not exist in GoHighLevel

    The AdRoll Aggregated Account Data and AdRoll Aggregated Contact/Lead Data custom Salesforce objects are RollWorks-specific and have no GoHighLevel equivalent. We translate the field schema (field names, types, values) into GoHighLevel custom fields on Company and Contact, but the data must be present in the connected Salesforce or HubSpot instance for us to extract it. If the customer never configured the Salesforce sync, this advertising and engagement data is not available to migrate regardless of scope. We flag this gap during scoping and document which metrics will require post-migration re-collection.

  • RollWorks Workflows and Journey Events do not migrate as automation

    Workflow definitions (Triggers, Actions, Filters) live in the AdRoll ABM orchestration layer, not in Salesforce. Journey Events aggregate activity from Marketo, G2, and advertising engagement. Neither migrates as functional automation to GoHighLevel. We perform a dedicated extraction pass to document every active workflow and Journey Event, then deliver a written inventory with GoHighLevel automation equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds the automations in GoHighLevel's workflow builder. Workflow rebuild is out of scope for the data migration engagement.

  • Website domain matching can cause record duplication

    RollWorks uses the Salesforce Account Website field to match company records to its database. If multiple Salesforce Account records share the same normalized domain, RollWorks writes data to all matching records and prefixes the duplicates with RWA-. During migration, we deduplicate by normalizing domains and merging records that share the same website value. We flag any remaining duplicates for the customer to resolve before GoHighLevel import to prevent the same duplication pattern from recurring.

  • Account Spike and intent signal scores have no native GoHighLevel equivalent

    RollWorks Sales Insights (Account Spike scores, x2 opportunity likelihood predictions) are ABM-specific signals with no direct GoHighLevel equivalent. We preserve them as numeric custom fields on GoHighLevel Contacts, but GoHighLevel does not have a native ABM scoring model or intent signal feed. If the customer relies on these signals for prioritization, they should plan to layer in a separate intent data source post-migration or rebuild scoring logic using GoHighLevel's custom field math and automation conditions.

  • RollWorks advertising creative and live campaign data do not migrate

    Campaign structure (ad set names, creative, targeting rules) lives in RollWorks' advertising layer. We extract campaign configuration metadata and audience targeting rules as a written document, but live ad creative, impression logs, and cost-per-action data do not migrate. Advertising performance history remains in RollWorks or AdRoll for historical reporting. We preserve the raw impression and spend data so that cost-per-action can be calculated post-migration if needed.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful RollWorks Account-Based Platform to HighLevel data migration

  1. Scoping and Salesforce schema audit

    We audit the customer's RollWorks environment: Account List count and size, Account Group structure, Journey Stage definitions, Workflow inventory, and the presence of the AdRoll custom Salesforce object. We simultaneously audit the connected Salesforce or HubSpot instance to identify which data is accessible via API versus locked in the orchestration layer. If the Salesforce sync was not configured or the custom object was not enabled, we document which data will be unavailable for migration and adjust scope before work begins.

  2. Schema design and custom field creation in GoHighLevel

    We design the GoHighLevel schema to receive RollWorks data. This includes creating Company custom fields for Account List membership, Account Group membership, and AdRoll account-level metrics (spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, page views, intent scores). We create Contact custom fields for AdRoll contact-level metrics, Account Spike scores, and original engagement source. Pipeline stages are configured to match Journey Stage names if the customer opts for pipeline-based stage tracking. All fields are deployed to a GoHighLevel sub-account or sandbox environment for validation before production migration.

  3. Account List extraction and Company-Contact split

    We extract the full Account List membership via the NextRoll API, preserving list name, group name, account domain, and date added. Each account record is split into a GoHighLevel Company (using domain as the dedupe key) and one or more Contact records. We apply domain normalization to prevent the same duplication pattern that RollWorks exhibits when multiple Salesforce Accounts share a website. Any duplicate GoHighLevel Companies identified during extraction are flagged for customer resolution before import.

  4. Engagement data and signal migration

    If the AdRoll custom Salesforce object is present in the connected Salesforce, we extract aggregated account-level and contact-level advertising and engagement metrics (spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, page views, keyword intent). These are mapped to GoHighLevel Company and Contact custom fields with equivalent data types. Account Spike scores migrate as numeric custom fields on the relevant Contact. Journey Stage values from Salesforce are extracted and mapped to the configured GoHighLevel pipeline stage or contact custom field.

  5. Workflow and Journey Event documentation pass

    We perform a dedicated extraction of all active RollWorks Workflow definitions (Triggers, Actions, Filters) via the NextRoll API. We also document the Journey Event configuration (event sources, associated Journey Stages, and filter logic). We do not build GoHighLevel automations during this pass. The output is a written workflow inventory with step-by-step trigger conditions, filter logic, and action sequences mapped to GoHighLevel automation equivalents. This document is delivered to the customer as a rebuild specification for their admin.

  6. Production migration and cutover

    We migrate data into GoHighLevel production in dependency order: Companies first (as the parent record), then Contacts (with Company association resolved via domain lookup), then custom field values for account metrics and signals. We run a reconciliation pass comparing GoHighLevel record counts against the RollWorks extract totals. The customer spot-checks 20-30 records for accuracy. We freeze RollWorks writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We deliver the workflow inventory document and the advertising campaign configuration document as the final handoff artifacts.

Context on both ends of the pair

RollWorks Account-Based Platform logo

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Source

Strengths

  • Bi-directional Salesforce and HubSpot integration keeps ABM signals embedded in the sales record
  • Account Spike data science model gives SDRs a ranked outreach list without additional tooling
  • Multi-channel advertising (display, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) under one vendor reduces coordination overhead
  • G2 buyer intent integration enriches native intent data with third-party buying signals
  • Dynamic CPM ad serving model with no platform fee on self-service retargeting

Weaknesses

  • Visitor identification is company-level only, not person-level, requiring a supplemental contact tool for individual attribution
  • Filter and segmentation capabilities are limited compared to dedicated data platforms, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint
  • Non-standard Salesforce objects and their fields are not available for Journey Stages customization
  • Lead object activity cannot be associated to Accounts in Journey Events, leaving a data gap for teams using Leads over Contacts
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging ABM identity into the broader AdRoll advertising brand

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 5,000 Contacts across 20 Account Lists with no AdRoll custom Salesforce object. Migrations that include the AdRoll custom object (advertising and engagement metrics on both Account and Contact), multiple Account Groups, large contact volumes, or a complex Journey Stage matrix move to seven to twelve weeks because of per-field schema translation, custom field creation, and the separate workflow documentation pass.
