Overview
Spotler Mail+ is an email marketing automation platform centered on contacts, tags, behavioral scores, and audience segmentations. GoHighLevel is an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform with native CRM records, pipelines, opportunities, and an embedded workflow builder. These platforms serve different primary functions: Spotler Mail+ is email-centric and used alongside a CRM, while GoHighLevel consolidates CRM, email, SMS, landing pages, and scheduling in one platform. We migrate the contact record layer (Contacts, Tags, Scores, Custom Fields, Form Requests) and the audience layer (Segmentation membership lists) directly via GoHighLevel's REST API. We do not migrate Spotler Workflow Automations as executable rules, nor do we migrate Landing Pages, Templates, or historical Reports beyond the 24-month mailing window. We deliver a written map of every automation and sequence for your admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's native workflow builder. GoHighLevel pricing at Starter ($97/month) is lower than Spotler Mail+ ($199/month), and the platform's per-sub-account billing model affects multi-brand strategies differently than Spotler's tier structure.
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 Spotler Mail+ 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.
Spotler Mail+
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Spotler Mail+ Contacts map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. Standard fields (email, first name, last name, phone) map 1:1. Custom fields (text, numeric, currency, date) map to GoHighLevel custom fields of the corresponding type. We validate the destination custom field schema before import and use GoHighLevel's Contact API to insert records with upsert matching on email address as the primary key.
Spotler Mail+
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Spotler Mail+ Tags are contact-level label attributes that map 1:1 to GoHighLevel Contact Tags. We extract all unique tag names from the Contact export and create the tag assignments per contact during migration. Tag names with special characters are sanitized to match GoHighLevel's tag name constraints.
Spotler Mail+
Score
HighLevel
Custom Number Field
lossySpotler Mail+ lead scoring values are stored as numeric contact properties. We map these to GoHighLevel custom number fields on the Contact object. The field name is preserved from Spotler (for example, lead_score) and the numeric value transfers directly. If the customer uses multiple score dimensions (engagement score, demographic score, behavioral score), each maps to a separate custom field in GoHighLevel.
Spotler Mail+
Custom Field
HighLevel
Custom Field
lossySpotler Mail+ custom fields support text, numeric, currency, list, date of birth, date, and permission field types. We map each type to the GoHighLevel equivalent: text to text, numeric to number, currency to number with decimal, list to dropdown or multi-select, date to date, and permission to a yes/no field. List fields require a GoHighLevel picklist to be pre-created with the same option values before migration. Permission fields (consent tracking) map to GoHighLevel's built-in SMS and email consent fields where applicable.
Spotler Mail+
Audience/Segmentation
HighLevel
Tag or Contact List
lossySpotler Mail+ segmentation rules (selections, exclusions, behavioral conditions) do not export as executable logic. We extract the resulting contact set for each named segmentation and create GoHighLevel Contact Lists or Tags representing that membership. For example, if Spotler has a segment 'High-Value Engaged Contacts' containing 2,300 contacts, we create a corresponding GoHighLevel Tag or List and populate it with those contacts. The segmentation rule itself must be recreated as a GoHighLevel Workflow or filter-based Smart List.
Spotler Mail+
Form Request
HighLevel
Contact Custom Fields or Notes
1:manySpotler Mail+ form submissions export as flat records linked to contacts by email. Each form submission is a set of question-response pairs. We denormalize these into Contact custom fields (if the form has a fixed set of fields) or into Contact Notes (if the form has open-ended questions). Survey closure rules and quota-triggered responses do not export and are documented separately for manual rebuild. If the customer has more than 50 form types, we recommend using Notes with a consistent prefix per form rather than creating one custom field per form question.
Spotler Mail+
Mailing Interaction
HighLevel
Contact Activity History
1:1Spotler Mail+ opens, clicks, delivery stats, and conversion data within the 24-month window export as CSV from the analytics dashboard. We map this to GoHighLevel Contact Activity records. Note that Spotler anonymizes interaction data after 24 months, so records older than the 24-month window will return empty in any export query regardless of method. We scope the mailing history migration to the most recent 24 months and flag any reporting gap to the customer before migration begins. Engagement timestamps are preserved in the activity record date.
Spotler Mail+
User
HighLevel
User
1:1Spotler Mail+ User accounts (name, email, role) map to GoHighLevel Users. We extract user records for the migration admin and reporting context, but GoHighLevel user provisioning happens in the destination account directly. We document the Spotler role assignments so that the customer's admin can map them to GoHighLevel's permission model post-migration.

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.
Spotler Mail+ gotchas
Mailing interaction data is purged after 24 months
Import file structure is strict and column-name-sensitive
Form and survey results export as flat records, not relational data
Multi-brand capability is tier-gated to MailPro
API does not expose a bulk export endpoint for contact history
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 export validation
We audit the Spotler Mail+ account for contact volume, custom field definitions (field name and type from the database field registry), tag taxonomy, segmentation list names and sizes, form submission volume and structure, and any mailing interaction history within the 24-month window. We validate the export file structure against Spotler's import requirements (XLS/XLSX/CSV/TXT, column headers matching field names, single tab). Any multi-tab files or inconsistent headers are flagged for pre-migration reformatting.
GoHighLevel schema provisioning
We provision custom fields in GoHighLevel to match the Spotler field type registry before any contact import. This includes text fields, number fields, currency fields, date fields, picklists (for Spotler list fields), and yes/no fields (for Spotler permission fields). We configure GoHighLevel tags to mirror the Spotler tag taxonomy. If the customer plans to use GoHighLevel Opportunity pipelines, we document the required pipeline stages for the customer to configure in the CRM section.
Contact and tag migration
We migrate Contacts via GoHighLevel's Contact API with upsert matching on email address as the primary key. Each contact record is enriched with its associated tags during import. Custom fields are populated per Spotler field type mapping. We run a reconciliation report comparing Spotler contact count to GoHighLevel contact count, flag any email duplicates or invalid records, and remediate before proceeding.
Segmentation membership and form request denormalization
We extract each named Spotler segmentation's contact set and create corresponding GoHighLevel Tags or Contact Lists. Form submissions are denormalized into Contact custom fields (for structured forms) or Contact Notes (for free-form surveys). Survey closure rules and quota triggers do not migrate and are documented for manual rebuild. We deliver a segmentation map document listing each Spotler segment, its contact count, and the equivalent GoHighLevel tag or list.
Mailing interaction history (24-month window)
We export mailing interaction data (opens, clicks, delivery stats, conversions) from Spotler for the most recent 24-month window. This data is mapped to GoHighLevel Contact Activity records. We flag records beyond the 24-month purge window as unavailable. Engagement timestamps are preserved in the activity date field. If the customer has specific campaign-level analytics needs, we deliver a CSV export of the full mailing history as a reference document.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes in Spotler Mail+ during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark GoHighLevel as the system of record for the migrated contact layer. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every Spotler Workflow Automation with its trigger conditions, actions, and a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent. We do not rebuild automations as code; that is a separate workstream or an internal admin task. We support a three-day post-cutover window for reconciliation of record counts and field data.
