Overview
Rubi CRM and GoHighLevel serve different market segments: Rubi CRM targets UK membership, training, events, and B2B service organisations with native Sage, QuickBooks, and Xero integrations, while GoHighLevel is an all-in-one marketing and CRM platform built for agencies and SMBs with funnels, websites, workflows, email, SMS, and calling. The migration is driven by teams leaving Rubi CRM after its acquisition by Sapling Multi Ventures, and by the appeal of GoHighLevel's flat-rate unlimited-user pricing replacing Rubi CRM's per-user model. We map Rubi CRM Contacts to GoHighLevel Contacts, Companies to Companies, Members to Contacts with custom membership fields, Memberships to Opportunity custom fields for tier and renewal data, and Events to Opportunities with booking status. We flag Sales Pipeline Kanban stages for re-creation in GoHighLevel and audit Saved Reports for field-level mapping before decommissioning Rubi CRM.
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 Rubi CRM 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.
Rubi CRM
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Rubi CRM Contact records map directly to GoHighLevel Contact records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate 1:1. We preserve any Rubi CRM custom contact properties as GoHighLevel Contact custom fields, which must be pre-created in GoHighLevel under Settings > Custom Fields > Contacts. Rubi CRM custom field names are discovered during the export scoping phase because Rubi CRM does not expose a schema endpoint.
Rubi CRM
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Rubi CRM Company records map to GoHighLevel Company records. The Company-Contact relationship in Rubi CRM is explicit via a linked field; GoHighLevel Company-Contact linking is resolved by name-matching during import. We run a name-dedupe pass before inserting Companies to avoid duplicates, then map Contacts to the resolved Company record by company name string match.
Rubi CRM
Member
HighLevel
Contact (with membership custom fields)
1:1Rubi CRM Member is a distinct record type tied to the membership module. We map Member ID and membership status directly, but tier names and renewal dates require field-value mapping against GoHighLevel Opportunity custom fields rather than Contact fields. Member ID is stored in a Contact custom field rubi_member_id__c and the membership status maps to a Contact custom field rubi_membership_status__c.
Rubi CRM
Membership
HighLevel
Opportunity (membership renewal)
1:manyRubi CRM Membership records track individual subscriptions against Member profiles. We map start dates, end dates, and tier names to Opportunity custom fields on a membership Opportunity record linked to the Contact. Rubi CRM does not export full subscription history in a single pass, so for accounts with multi-year or lapsed memberships we run separate export queries from the Membership module per account. We create a custom object named Membership_Record in GoHighLevel if the customer has more than 10 active membership types and needs full renewal history.
Rubi CRM
Events and Training
HighLevel
Opportunity or Custom Object (Event Booking)
lossyRubi CRM Events with bookings tied to Contacts or Members map to GoHighLevel Opportunities with event name, date, and booking status. Seat-level attendance data requires a separate export run from the Events module because it is not included in the standard Contacts export. We configure a custom object named Event_Booking in GoHighLevel for customers with complex event attendance records, linking each booking to the Contact attendee via a lookup field.
Rubi CRM
Sales Pipeline (Kanban stages)
HighLevel
Opportunity Pipeline stages
lossyRubi CRM uses a Kanban-style pipeline view where stage names are user-defined custom fields stored against deal records, not a native pipeline object. We extract stage values and their ordering during the scoping call, then configure GoHighLevel Pipeline stages to match the source stage names. Stage probability mapping follows the customer's source data. This is a configuration step, not a data migration step.
Rubi CRM
Activity (email interactions)
HighLevel
Contact Activity Log
1:1Email interactions logged via the Outlook plugin are stored as Activities linked to Contacts. We export Activity timestamps, subject, and body text, but thread-level threading from the original email chain is not preserved in the export. These migrate as individual activity log entries on the Contact record in GoHighLevel. Outbound sequences and automation-triggered emails are not in scope because Rubi CRM does not support outbound sequences.
Rubi CRM
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1Rubi CRM Tasks are standard records with owner, due date, and status. We map these directly and re-assign ownership by username lookup in GoHighLevel. Any Rubi CRM Owner without a matching GoHighLevel User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before task import resumes.

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.
Rubi CRM gotchas
Pipeline stages are stored as user-defined custom field values, not a native pipeline object
Outlook plugin does not preserve email thread continuity
Memberships and Events require separate export passes
Acquisition by Sapling Multi Ventures introduces roadmap uncertainty
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
Export scoping and data classification
We audit Rubi CRM across all active modules (Contacts, Companies, Members, Memberships, Events, Activities, Tasks, Custom Fields) and classify each as full migration, mapping migration, or out of scope. We flag the Reports module as non-migration-suitable upfront and ask the customer to identify which saved reports represent live operational data versus analytical snapshots. We run a discovery export of Contacts and Companies to establish baseline row counts, identify custom field names, and assess name-variant frequency in the Company-Contact relationship.
Membership and Events export planning
We run separate scoped export queries from the Membership module per Member ID to capture full renewal history. We run a second export from the Events module for seat-level attendance data. We document the event booking status values and map them to GoHighLevel Opportunity stages or custom Event_Booking object statuses during the transform design phase.
GoHighLevel schema provisioning
We pre-create all GoHighLevel custom fields (Contact and Opportunity types separately), custom objects (Membership_Record and Event_Booking if needed), Pipeline stages (matching Rubi CRM Kanban stage names), and tag structures before any data import. We create a Contact custom field rubi_member_id__c and rubi_membership_status__c, and an Opportunity custom field rubi_membership_tier__c and rubi_renewal_date__c. We confirm sub-account scope with the customer before creating objects.
Company and Contact import with relationship resolution
We normalise company names (Ltd/Limited standardisation, punctuation removal) and run a name-matching pass to resolve the Company-Contact relationship before inserting Companies. Contacts without a matched Company are flagged for manual review. We import Companies first, then Contacts with the resolved CompanyId. Custom Contact fields migrate from the Rubi CRM custom property discovery list.
Membership and Events data import
We import Membership records as Opportunities with the membership Opportunity custom fields populated (tier, renewal date, original Member ID). We link each membership Opportunity to the Contact record using the rubi_member_id__c lookup. Events and Training bookings import as Event_Booking custom object records linked to Contact attendees. Tasks and Activity log entries import last, with Owner resolution by email match against GoHighLevel Users.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory delivery
We freeze Rubi CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta export of any records modified during the migration window, and import the delta into GoHighLevel. We validate record counts across all objects and spot-check 20-30 records against the source. We deliver a written inventory of every active Rubi CRM automation (if any exist via the Outlook plugin context), the Kanban stage mapping document, and the Saved Reports field list for re-creation in GoHighLevel. We do not rebuild automations, workflows, or reports; these are documented for the customer's admin to rebuild.
