Overview
Teamgate and GoHighLevel serve overlapping SMB sales teams but differ fundamentally in architecture. Teamgate is a pipeline-first CRM with per-user pricing (€8-55/month) and a la carte calling via SmartDialer; GoHighLevel is an all-in-one marketing and CRM platform ($97-497/month) bundling funnels, SMS, calling, and workflow automation under one subscription. The migration from Teamgate to GoHighLevel moves a simpler object model (People, Companies, Deals, Activities) into a richer but more complex destination schema. We export via Teamgate's REST API, map to GoHighLevel Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities, and use GoHighLevel's bulk import with field-level type matching. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or SmartDialer configurations; we deliver a written inventory of these for your admin to rebuild in GoHighLevel's Workflow builder. SmartDialer usage billing stops only when cancelled in Teamgate directly and is not a data migration item.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Teamgate 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.
Teamgate
People (Contacts/Leads)
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Teamgate People map 1:1 to GoHighLevel Contacts. Standard fields (first_name, last_name, email, phone, address) map directly. Custom fields on People migrate to GoHighLevel custom contact fields. We extract tags as GoHighLevel tags and apply them during import. Owner assignment maps via email match to GoHighLevel User records; unresolved owners go to a reconciliation queue.
Teamgate
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Teamgate Company records map 1:1 to GoHighLevel Companies. The Company domain name becomes the Website field. Companies import before Contacts so that the Company-Contact link is satisfied at insert time. Custom fields on Company migrate to GoHighLevel custom company fields.
Teamgate
Deal
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Teamgate Deals map 1:1 to GoHighLevel Opportunities. Deal value migrates to Opportunity Amount. Pipeline stage assignment maps to GoHighLevel pipeline stage via a stage-mapping table created during scoping. Owner assignment resolves via email match to GoHighLevel User. Loss reasons map to GoHighLevel custom opportunity loss reason fields.
Teamgate
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline
lossyTeamgate pipeline definitions (names, stage counts, stage ordering) are exported and recreated as GoHighLevel Pipelines. Each Teamgate pipeline becomes a separate GoHighLevel Pipeline. Stage-specific probability weights are preserved if they exist in Teamgate and are set on the corresponding GoHighLevel stages.
Teamgate
Pipeline Stage
HighLevel
Pipeline Stage
lossyTeamgate Pipeline Stages map to GoHighLevel Pipeline Stages within their parent Pipeline. Stage names and sequence order transfer directly. We create the stage-mapping table during scoping and apply it during Deal-to-Opportunity import. Custom probability weights per stage migrate if configured in Teamgate.
Teamgate
Custom Fields
HighLevel
Custom Fields
lossyTeamgate custom fields on People, Companies, and Deals are exported with their field types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox). We recreate equivalent custom fields in GoHighLevel under Settings > Custom Fields before importing any data. Dropdown options are preserved; checkbox fields become GoHighLevel checkbox fields. We map field values during import rather than relying on post-migration manual entry.
Teamgate
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Teamgate flat-label tags applied to People, Companies, and Deals export as normalized string arrays per record. We apply these as GoHighLevel Contact Tags during import. GoHighLevel tags are not multi-select picklist fields; they are a separate tag entity. We preserve tag names exactly so that reporting by tag is uninterrupted after migration.
Teamgate
Activity (Tasks, Calls, Emails, Meetings)
HighLevel
Activities / Tasks
1:1Teamgate Activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) attach to People or Deals and export with timestamps, notes, and type indicators. We import them as GoHighLevel Activities linked to the migrated Contact or Opportunity. Original timestamps are preserved as the Activity date. Call duration and disposition from Teamgate map to GoHighLevel activity notes or custom fields.
Teamgate
Files and Attachments
HighLevel
Files (via URL or re-upload)
lossyTeamgate file attachments store names and URLs. Binary files must be downloaded from Teamgate and re-uploaded to GoHighLevel. We flag the total file volume during scoping and advise whether the customer handles re-upload or engages a file migration add-on. Storage tier limits (5GB/user Starter, 10GB/user Professional) are calculated during scoping to determine whether Teamgate storage can accommodate the full export.
Teamgate
User / Owner
HighLevel
User
1:1Teamgate Users export with name, email, role, and active status. We map by email match to GoHighLevel Users. Inactive Teamgate users are held out of the migration unless the customer explicitly requests them. Unresolved users (no matching GoHighLevel User) go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
Teamgate
Loss Reason
HighLevel
Custom Opportunity Field
lossyTeamgate Loss Reasons are a configurable dropdown tied to Deals. We export all active loss reason values and create a corresponding custom field on GoHighLevel Opportunity to store them. Values are created in GoHighLevel before Deal import begins, and Deal records reference the correct loss reason value at insert time.
Teamgate
Integrations and Connections
HighLevel
Not Migrated
1:1Teamgate integration configurations (OAuth tokens for Gmail, Twilio credentials, Zapier webhooks, QuickBooks connections) are not exportable via API and cannot be migrated. We export integration names and settings as a documented list for the customer's admin to reconfigure manually in GoHighLevel. GoHighLevel's native integrations (Google Calendar, Zapier, QuickBooks) require fresh OAuth setup in the destination environment.

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.
Teamgate gotchas
SmartDialer usage billing is uncapped and opaque
Annual vs monthly billing creates a 2.3–3× price swing
Import history does not preserve original source timestamps
Storage tier limits constrain file migration volume
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 scoping
We audit the Teamgate account for People count, Company count, Deal volume, pipeline definitions, active custom fields, tag usage, activity record volume, file attachment count, and integration configurations. We pair this with a GoHighLevel plan review (Starter at $97/month covers most migrations; Unlimited at $297/month is required for sub-accounts or advanced API access). We also confirm whether the customer uses SmartDialer and calculate total storage usage against the current Teamgate tier to identify any ceiling constraints before export begins.
Schema design and pipeline recreation
We design the GoHighLevel destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields in GoHighLevel under Settings > Custom Fields (matching Teamgate field types and dropdown options), defining Pipelines and their Stage names with probability weights, and setting up loss reason picklists on the Opportunity object. Pipeline stage names are written to a mapping table that we apply during Deal-to-Opportunity import. The customer reviews and approves the schema design before export begins.
Export and transform from Teamgate
We extract all CRM data from Teamgate via the REST API, including People, Companies, Deals, custom fields, tags, activity records, and user list. SmartDialer call logs are exported as a separate file if requested. We transform the data in staging: email-matching owner resolution (Teamgate owner_id to GoHighLevel user_id), tag normalization, date format standardization (YYYY-MM-DD), and UTF-8 encoding for special characters. Any records that fail validation (missing required fields, invalid email formats) are flagged in a separate reconciliation report.
Sandbox validation (if available) or pilot import
If the customer has a GoHighLevel trial or sandbox environment, we run a full pilot migration there to validate record counts, field mapping, and parent-child relationship integrity (Contact-Company, Opportunity-Contact). The customer spot-checks 25-50 records against the Teamgate source and signs off before production migration. If no sandbox is available, we run the first production import as a pilot phase with a small record set and pause for validation before proceeding to full volume.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: GoHighLevel Users (validated), Companies (from Teamgate Companies), Contacts (with CompanyId resolved from the Company import), Opportunities (with ContactId, PipelineId, and OwnerId resolved), Activity history (Tasks, calls, emails, meetings as GoHighLevel Activities via bulk import), Tags (applied to Contacts), and custom fields (populated during import via field-level mapping). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Files and attachments are downloaded from Teamgate and re-uploaded to GoHighLevel, either by the customer or as a file migration add-on.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Teamgate writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark GoHighLevel as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every Teamgate workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalent for each. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. SmartDialer cancellation is the customer's responsibility in Teamgate's billing settings. Workflow rebuild, integration reconfiguration, and GoHighLevel domain warming are documented but outside migration scope.
