Overview
Moving from Salesboom to GoHighLevel is a shift from a Salesforce-legacy CRM with per-seat pricing to an all-in-one agency platform with flat-rate unlimited-contact pricing. Salesboom uses separate Lead and Contact objects with Contact-to-Account lookups; GoHighLevel uses a unified Contact model where company data attaches as custom fields or locations rather than a formal Account hierarchy. We map Salesboom Leads into GoHighLevel Contacts, map Salesboom Accounts into GoHighLevel Locations on Contact records, and preserve custom field data on both Contact and Opportunity custom fields. Tasks and Notes migrate as native GoHighLevel objects. Workflows, time-based automations, and ERP module data do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active Salesboom workflow with a GoHighLevel automation rebuild recommendation. GoHighLevel's pricing model at $97-$497/month flat means teams over 30 users typically see lower ongoing licensing costs versus Salesboom's per-seat model at $14-$70/user/month.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Salesboom 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.
Salesboom
Lead
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Salesboom Leads map to GoHighLevel Contact records. The Lead's email, phone, company name, status, source, and rating migrate directly. GoHighLevel does not have a separate Lead object; all prospect records live as Contacts. We preserve the original Salesboom Lead status in a custom Contact field (e.g., sb_lead_status__c) for reporting continuity. Custom Lead fields migrate to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields, and any sales rep assignment maps to the GoHighLevel User assigned to that Contact.
Salesboom
Account
HighLevel
Contact (Location)
1:manySalesboom Accounts represent company-level records with hierarchy, billing/shipping addresses, and industry data. GoHighLevel has no standalone Account object; company data attaches to a Contact as a Location. We map the primary Account name to the Contact's primary company name field, billing/shipping addresses to Location records under that Contact, and industry/sic codes to custom Contact fields. Multi-location accounts create multiple Location records on a single Contact. The split requires customers to choose which Contact represents the primary account holder.
Salesboom
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Salesboom Contacts map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts, preserving name, email, phone, address, title, department, and any custom Contact fields. The Contact-to-Account association from Salesboom is resolved into the Contact's primary company name and Location fields in GoHighLevel. GoHighLevel distinguishes between Contact custom fields and Opportunity custom fields; we pre-create the destination custom fields during schema setup and map each Salesboom field to the appropriate GoHighLevel field type.
Salesboom
Opportunity
HighLevel
Deal (Pipeline)
1:1Salesboom Opportunities map to GoHighLevel Deals with stage, amount, close date, probability, and owner preserved. The Salesboom pipeline assignment maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline with its own stage values. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Salesboom custom properties migrate to custom Deal fields. GoHighLevel Deal probability is set per-stage within each Pipeline configuration.
Salesboom
Task
HighLevel
Task
1:1Salesboom Tasks migrate to GoHighLevel Tasks, preserving subject, status, priority, due date, assigned owner, and any related Contact or Opportunity reference. GoHighLevel Tasks attach to the migrated Contact record via the contact_id reference. We resolve Salesboom task owners to GoHighLevel Users by email match. Recurring Salesboom tasks are flattened into individual task records.
Salesboom
Note
HighLevel
Note
1:1Salesboom Notes attach to any parent record (Account, Contact, Opportunity) and migrate as GoHighLevel Notes attached to the corresponding Contact or Deal. Rich-text formatting in Salesboom Notes is preserved as plain text in GoHighLevel to ensure compatibility. Note ownership resolves to the GoHighLevel User by email match.
Salesboom
Case
HighLevel
Task / Custom Ticket Object
lossySalesboom Cases (ticket-style support records) map to GoHighLevel Tasks with a custom Case status field if the customer does not use a separate support tool. For customers that plan to use GoHighLevel's inbox or a connected support tool, Cases migrate to a custom object that mirrors the Case schema. Auto-assignment rules and escalation workflows from Salesboom do not migrate; we document these in the automation inventory for rebuild.
Salesboom
Custom Fields (Lead, Account, Contact, Opportunity)
HighLevel
Contact Custom Fields / Opportunity Custom Fields
lossySalesboom allows unlimited custom fields on any standard tab with no per-field cost. GoHighLevel supports Contact custom fields and Opportunity (Deal) custom fields separately, with a once-created, not-switchable constraint. We pre-create all destination custom fields before migration, mapping each Salesboom field to the correct GoHighLevel object and field type. The mapping phase resolves data type differences (e.g., Salesboom date fields become GoHighLevel date fields; multi-select picklists become GoHighLevel multi-select options).

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.
Salesboom gotchas
30-user Team tier cap causes silent overage during migration
Report column order does not persist into CSV exports
ERP add-on modules have separate per-module pricing not visible in base tier cost
Custom API provisioning is customer-account-specific, not globally documented
Territory management and time-based workflows require Professional or Enterprise tier
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 schema audit
We audit the Salesboom account across all licensed tiers and modules: Lead, Account, Contact, Opportunity, Task, Note, Case records; custom field inventory on each object; active workflow rules and time-based triggers; ERP module licensing and data presence; user count and role assignments. We pair this with a GoHighLevel account review of existing sub-accounts, pipelines, and custom field setup. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a list of custom fields to pre-create in GoHighLevel, and the Account-to-Contact mapping decision.
Account-to-Contact mapping design
We design the company-data mapping from Salesboom Accounts to GoHighLevel Contacts with Locations. For each Salesboom Account, we identify the primary Contact record, map the Account hierarchy into Location records, and assign billing/shipping addresses to the appropriate Location. We document which Contacts represent the primary account holders and flag any Accounts that require multi-Location handling. Custom Account fields are mapped to GoHighLevel Contact custom fields during this phase.
GoHighLevel custom field and pipeline setup
We pre-create all required GoHighLevel custom fields (Contact custom fields and Opportunity custom fields) before any data import. Each Salesboom custom field is mapped to a typed GoHighLevel field, with the object classification (Contact vs Opportunity) confirmed during scoping. Pipelines are configured in GoHighLevel to mirror Salesboom's opportunity stages and pipeline assignments. Custom fields and pipelines are validated in a test sub-account before the production migration begins.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a full test migration into a GoHighLevel test sub-account using production-like data volumes. The customer reviews 25-50 random records per object for accuracy, checks that custom field data landed correctly, and validates that Account-to-Contact mapping matches their expectations. Any mapping corrections, field-type adjustments, or pipeline stage name changes are made before production migration begins. This step prevents rework in the production environment.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts (with Location data from Salesboom Accounts), Deals (with pipeline and stage mapping), Tasks, Notes, and Cases. Owner resolution uses email matching against GoHighLevel Users. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Any records that fail import (validation rule rejection, missing required fields) are routed to a correction queue for the customer's admin to resolve before re-import.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory delivery
We freeze Salesboom writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver the automation and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team, mapping each Salesboom workflow to a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow trigger. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, training, and post-migration admin support are outside standard scope and may be handled by the customer's GoHighLevel partner or as a separate engagement.
