Overview
Vonigo structures data around field-service operations: Clients, Locations, Work Orders, Estimates, Invoices, and Payments — with franchise-level controls, scheduling rules, and dispatch logic baked into the workflow layer. HighLevel structures data around a CRM object graph: Contacts, Companies, Opportunities (pipeline-driven), Workflows (automation), Tasks, Appointments, and Custom Objects. The two platforms share the same high-level concepts (contacts, companies, records with timestamps and owners) but diverge sharply on work order modeling, invoicing, and automation philosophy. We migrate everything Vonigo stores natively — clients, locations, work orders, estimates, invoices, payments, attachments, and custom fields — preserving original IDs and timestamps for traceability. We do not migrate scheduling rules, dispatch logic, or franchise-level controls (those live in Vonigo's workflow engine and have no HighLevel equivalent). We surface the full migration map before the first record moves so your team can plan the HighLevel Workflow rebuild around real data. Migration planning begins with a schema review to confirm custom object fields, pick-list values, and relationship definitions in HighLevel before any data transfer begins.
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 Vonigo 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.
Vonigo
Client
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Vonigo Clients map directly to HighLevel Contacts. Name, email, phone, address, and contact preferences transfer as standard fields. Original Vonigo client ID is stored as a custom field (vonigo_client_id) for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. Franchise assignment is preserved as a custom field.
Vonigo
Client.phones
HighLevel
Contact.phone + Contact.mobile
1:manyVonigo stores multiple phone numbers per client. HighLevel stores one phone and one mobile on Contact. We split by phone type — primary phone maps to Phone, mobile or secondary maps to Mobile. Any additional phone numbers beyond two are appended to a custom field (Additional_Phones__c) as semicolon-delimited text.
Vonigo
Client.email
HighLevel
Contact.email
1:1Vonigo client email maps directly to HighLevel Contact.email. Email serves as the primary deduplication key during migration, preventing duplicate contact creation when the same client appears multiple times across locations or franchises. Records with null, placeholder, or invalid email formats are flagged in a pre-migration review report for your team to correct before the full migration run begins. This ensures clean contact data in HighLevel from the initial load.
Vonigo
Location
HighLevel
Company
1:1Vonigo Locations representing service addresses, branches, or franchise sites map directly to HighLevel Companies. The location name, full street address, city, state, and postal code transfer as standard Company fields. Any location-specific custom fields — such as territory zone, branch manager, or regional classification — migrate as Company custom fields, preserving all contextual metadata associated with each service location.
Vonigo
Location.franchise_id
HighLevel
Company.custom_field (franchise_id)
1:1Vonigo's franchise-level location hierarchy has no direct HighLevel equivalent. We record the franchise identifier as a custom pick-list field on Company (Franchise_ID__c) so reports can group locations by franchise. For agency-managed migrations, this can alternatively route to HighLevel sub-account assignment.
Vonigo
WorkOrder
HighLevel
Opportunity or Custom Object
1:1Vonigo Work Orders carry rich FSM data — status, service type, technician, schedule, line items, photos, signature — that HighLevel's Opportunity object does not natively represent. For standard work orders, we map to a HighLevel Opportunity with work order number as Name, amount from total price, and original status preserved in a custom field. For complex work orders with multiple line items, we use a Custom Object (Work_Order__c).
Vonigo
WorkOrder.status
HighLevel
Custom field on Opportunity / Work_Order__c
1:1Vonigo FSM statuses (Pending, Confirmed, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced, Cancelled) have no direct HighLevel pipeline stage equivalent, as pipeline stages represent a sales cycle rather than a field-service lifecycle. Each Vonigo FSM status maps to a distinct custom pick-list value on a custom field (Work_Order_Status__c) on the target object. This preserves the complete FSM status history for operational reporting while keeping HighLevel pipeline stages available for tracking sales-cycle progression independently.
Vonigo
WorkOrderService (line items)
HighLevel
Custom field or Custom Object relationship
1:1Each service line on a Vonigo Work Order (service type, quantity, unit price, total) migrates as a set of custom fields on the Work_Order__c custom object: Service_Type__c, Quantity__c, Unit_Price__c, Line_Total__c. Multi-line work orders may also use a related Custom Object (Service_Line__c) linked by a lookup relationship.
Vonigo
Estimate
HighLevel
Custom Object (Estimate__c)
1:1Vonigo Estimates map to a custom object (Estimate__c) because HighLevel has no native quoting or estimating feature. Estimate number, date, status (Draft, Sent, Approved, Declined), line items, and total amount transfer. If the Estimate converted to a Work Order, the Work Order ID is stored as a cross-reference custom field.
Vonigo
Invoice
HighLevel
Custom Object (Invoice__c)
1:1Vonigo Invoices migrate as a custom object (Invoice__c) since HighLevel has no native invoicing. Invoice number, date, due date, line items, subtotal, tax, total amount, amount paid, and payment status (Paid, Partial, Unpaid) are preserved as custom fields. Payment records link to the Invoice via a lookup relationship.
Vonigo
Payment
HighLevel
Custom Object (Payment__c) + Invoice__c relationship
1:1Vonigo Payment records migrate as individual Payment__c custom objects linked to their parent Invoice__c via a lookup. Payment date, amount, method, and transaction reference transfer. HighLevel's own payment recording via invoices does not exist natively, so payment history is fully preserved in this custom object structure.
Vonigo
User / Technician
HighLevel
User (owner resolution by email)
1:1Vonigo technicians and franchise owners resolve to HighLevel Users by email match. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team either creates the HighLevel user first or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands without a resolved HighLevel owner. Vonigo internal IDs are stored for audit traceability.
Vonigo
Attachment
HighLevel
File
1:1Vonigo file attachments — photos, signatures, documents — on Work Orders and Locations are downloaded and re-uploaded to HighLevel Files attached to the target record. File name, type, and original upload timestamp are preserved. HighLevel's file size limits (25MB per file) apply; oversized files are flagged for manual handling.
Vonigo
Custom field (Client, Location, Work Order)
HighLevel
Custom field on target object
1:1Vonigo custom fields on Clients, Locations, and Work Orders migrate to HighLevel custom fields on the equivalent target object. Field data types are matched: text → text, number → number, date → date, pick-list → pick-list. Vonigo's custom field schema is documented in the migration plan so custom field creation in HighLevel can proceed in parallel.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Stand up HighLevel custom object schema first
Before any data moves, your team (or our team) creates the custom objects and custom fields needed to receive Vonigo data: Invoice__c, Payment__c, Work_Order__c, Estimate__c, and any custom fields on Contact and Company that carry Vonigo properties (franchise ID, work order status pick-list, original timestamps). We deliver a schema setup specification document that maps each Vonigo object to its HighLevel equivalent, including pick-list values for status fields, data types for custom fields, and the lookup relationships between custom objects. Creating the schema in parallel with planning saves the most time in the overall migration timeline.
Resolve owners and technicians by email
HighLevel users are matched against Vonigo technician and franchise owner IDs by email. Unmatched users are flagged before migration begins — your team either creates the HighLevel user account first or designates a fallback owner. No record lands in HighLevel without a resolved owner. Vonigo's internal user IDs are stored on migrated records as custom fields for post-migration audit and traceability. This step also confirms the sub-account structure if your Vonigo setup spans multiple franchises.
Migrate locations and clients before work orders
HighLevel requires Locations (Companies) to exist before Work Orders can reference them via lookup, and requires Clients (Contacts) to exist before Work Orders and Invoices can link back to them. We sequence the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly: Companies first, then Contacts, then Work Orders and Invoices, then Payments. For franchise setups, each franchise's locations and clients migrate into the designated sub-account or under the correct franchise ID custom field. Attachments migrate after their parent records are created.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning clients, locations, work orders, estimates, invoices, and attachments — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source and destination values so you can verify status value mapping, custom field translation, owner resolution, and attachment re-upload before the full run commits. Any mapping corrections are applied before the full migration begins. The sample run also surfaces any Vonigo data quality issues (null emails, duplicate records, circular location references) for your team to resolve.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records
The full migration runs against HighLevel. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) opens simultaneously so any records created or modified in Vonigo during the cutover are captured and loaded before go-live. Your team continues working in Vonigo throughout. FlitStack generates an audit log of every operation — record created, record updated, attachment uploaded, owner resolved. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation identifies data discrepancies that require a full restart.
