Overview
Moving from Teamwork CRM to GoHighLevel is a structural migration that also represents a shift from per-user pricing to a flat monthly model, which teams with growing sales headcounts often cite as a cost driver. GoHighLevel uses a Locations model for multi-entity management (agencies and multi-location businesses) versus Teamwork CRM's single-org structure. We migrate the core CRM records—Contacts, Companies, Leads, Opportunities, Pipeline and Stage assignments, Custom Fields, Tags, and Activities—and thread Owner IDs through every object by matching Teamwork user emails to GoHighLevel Team Members. We do not migrate Workflows, Sequences, or Automations as code; GoHighLevel's automation engine uses a trigger-and-action model that differs fundamentally from Teamwork CRM's filter-based automations, so we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow requiring rebuild in GoHighLevel's workflow builder.
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 Teamwork 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.
Teamwork CRM
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Teamwork CRM Contacts map directly to GoHighLevel Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) transfer 1:1. We map all Teamwork custom Contact fields to their typed GoHighLevel equivalents (text to text, integer to number, dropdown to dropdown). Note that Teamwork CRM does not support file or email attachments on Contact records, so there is nothing to migrate on that dimension. Contact-to-Company linking uses GoHighLevel's contact-to-company association which we resolve during import.
Teamwork CRM
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Teamwork CRM Company records map directly to GoHighLevel Company. Company Name, Domain, Address, Phone, and custom fields migrate 1:1. We sequence Companies first in migration runs to satisfy the parent-lookup relationship before Contacts import. If the customer uses GoHighLevel Locations, Companies attach to the primary Location unless the customer specifies a multi-location assignment strategy during scoping.
Teamwork CRM
Lead
HighLevel
Lead
1:1Teamwork CRM Leads map to GoHighLevel Leads. Lead status, source, and custom fields transfer. Teamwork CRM allows simultaneous Leads and Opportunities pipelines; we preserve both pipelines and their respective stage assignments in GoHighLevel Opportunities and Pipeline configuration.
Teamwork CRM
Opportunity
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Teamwork CRM Opportunities map to GoHighLevel Opportunities with Stage, Pipeline, Value, Probability, Expected Close Date, and custom fields preserved. The pipeline association maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline that we configure before migration, with stage names and probabilities carried over from the Teamwork CRM pipeline definition.
Teamwork CRM
Pipeline
HighLevel
Pipeline
lossyEach Teamwork CRM pipeline (Leads pipeline and Opportunities pipeline) maps to a GoHighLevel Pipeline. We replicate stage names, stage order, and probability percentages. If the customer runs both Leads and Opportunities pipelines simultaneously in Teamwork CRM, we create corresponding Pipelines in GoHighLevel and document which Opportunities belong to which pipeline during import.
Teamwork CRM
Activity: Call, Meeting, Task
HighLevel
Activity (Call, Meeting, Task)
1:1Teamwork CRM Activities (calls, meetings, and tasks) linked to Contacts or Opportunities map to GoHighLevel Activities. We preserve title, description, start date, due date, duration, completion status, and assignee. Assignee resolution uses email-to-Team Member matching. Activity timestamps preserve the original date for timeline ordering.
Teamwork CRM
Custom Field
HighLevel
Custom Field
lossyTeamwork CRM custom fields (short text, integer, dropdown) map to GoHighLevel custom fields of matching type. Text custom fields map to GoHighLevel text fields, integer to number, and dropdown to dropdown. Multi-select, date, and boolean custom fields do not exist in Teamwork CRM natively, so there are no gaps on that side. We pre-create the destination custom field schema before data import.
Teamwork CRM
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Teamwork CRM Tags on Contacts and Opportunities transfer to GoHighLevel Tags. Tag names migrate 1:1. If the customer uses a tag taxonomy that GoHighLevel cannot replicate (for example, tag hierarchies), we map to GoHighLevel Tags and document the hierarchy as a separate configuration item for the customer admin.
Teamwork CRM
User (Owner)
HighLevel
Team Member
1:1Teamwork CRM Users (Owners) referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities resolve to GoHighLevel Team Members by email match. Any Teamwork User without a matching GoHighLevel Team Member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. This is a prerequisite step because OwnerId references are required on most records.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Locations strategy
We audit the Teamwork CRM portal across record volume (Contacts, Companies, Leads, Opportunities), custom field definitions, pipeline count and stage structure, active automations, tag taxonomy, and user roster. We pair this with a GoHighLevel Locations strategy decision: single Location for single-business migrations, multi-Location for agency or multi-entity setups. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering object counts, custom field inventory, automation list, and Locations architecture recommendation.
Schema design and custom field pre-creation
We pre-create the GoHighLevel destination schema before any data import. This includes creating custom fields matching the Teamwork CRM field definitions (text, number, dropdown types carried over directly; multi-select and date types noted as GoHighLevel-native additions the customer may want to add post-migration), configuring Pipelines and Stages with names and probabilities from Teamwork CRM, and provisioning GoHighLevel Team Members. Schema is configured via GoHighLevel UI or API in the destination account.
User reconciliation and Team Member provisioning
We extract every distinct Teamwork CRM Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the GoHighLevel destination account's Team Member list. Teamwork CRM Users without a matching GoHighLevel Team Member go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most records. We flag any Teamwork CRM Enterprise users relying on SSO (which is Enterprise-only on Teamwork CRM) as a separate authentication discussion.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the GoHighLevel destination account using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-30 random records against the Teamwork CRM source, and signs off the field mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections happen at this stage. We also validate that Pipeline and Stage assignments landed correctly on imported Opportunities.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (to establish parent records), Contacts (with Company association resolved), Leads, Opportunities (with Pipeline, Stage, OwnerId, and CompanyId resolved), Custom Fields on each object, Tags, then Activity history (Calls, Meetings, Tasks linked to the migrated Contacts and Opportunities). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Teamwork CRM 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 inventory document listing every active Teamwork CRM automation with trigger conditions, filter logic, and recommended GoHighLevel Workflow equivalents. We support a five-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations in GoHighLevel inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
