Overview
Weave is a cloud phone and patient communication platform built for dental, veterinary, and medical practices. Its data model centers on Contacts (with phone as the primary identifier), Messages, Appointments, Voicemails, and Payments — plus a reviews module. Weave has no native pipeline or deal-tracking object; sales follow-up is handled in the contact record. HighLevel is an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform with Contacts, Companies, Opportunities (with pipeline stages), Workflows, Forms, and Custom Objects. It has no native telephony or voicemail object — voicemail and call history from Weave migrate as custom fields and activity logs. We map Weave's Contacts to HighLevel Contacts, Weave's organizational name (extracted from contact records) to HighLevel Companies, Weave Appointments to HighLevel Calendar events, Voicemails to activity records, Payments and Reviews to Custom Objects, and Weave tags to HighLevel tags. Workflows, email sequences, and telephony routing logic must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. We use HighLevel's Bulk CSV import and API endpoints for data transfer, with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during the cutover window.
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 Weave 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.
Weave
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Weave Contacts map directly to HighLevel Contacts. The phone number (Weave's primary identifier) maps to HighLevel's phone1 field. The contact's email maps to the email field and drives deduplication. Custom fields on Weave contacts migrate to custom fields on HighLevel Contacts.
Weave
Practice / Organization name
HighLevel
Company
1:1Weave has no native Company object; the practice or organization name typically lives in the contact record. We extract this value and create a corresponding HighLevel Company record, then link it to the contact via the Contact-Company relationship. Unlinked contacts receive a placeholder Company record.
Weave
Appointment
HighLevel
Calendar Event
1:1Weave Appointments (with date, time, duration, provider, and status) map to HighLevel Calendar events. The appointment title and patient name become the event title, original timestamps are preserved, and the assigned provider maps to the HighLevel user. Appointment status (confirmed, cancelled, no-show) maps to custom fields on the calendar event.
Weave
Voicemail
HighLevel
Activity Log / Custom Fields
1:1Weave Voicemails have duration, transcription, caller ID, and timestamp. The voicemail metadata (caller, duration, date, transcription) migrates as an activity log entry on the contact timeline in HighLevel. The voicemail audio file is preserved as a file attachment on the activity record if Weave's API exposes it.
Weave
Message (SMS/Text)
HighLevel
Activity Log
1:1Weave text messages (both sent and received, with full message body and timestamp) map to activity log entries on the contact in HighLevel. Direction (inbound/outbound) is preserved as the activity type. Original message timestamps are retained for conversation history continuity.
Weave
Payment
HighLevel
Custom Object: PaymentRecord
1:1Weave Payments include amount, date, method, status, and related contact. HighLevel has no native payment object, so we create a PaymentRecord Custom Object with custom fields for amount, payment date, payment method, and status. The payment record is linked to the contact via a lookup relationship.
Weave
Review Request
HighLevel
Custom Object: ReviewRecord
1:1Weave's review module tracks review requests sent, review status, platform (Google, Facebook, etc.), and rating. We create a ReviewRecord Custom Object in HighLevel with fields for review source, rating, content, and request date. Reviews are linked to the originating contact record.
Weave
Tag
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Weave tags on contacts (such as 'new patient', 'recare', or 'overdue balance') map directly to HighLevel tags. All tags applied to a Weave contact are applied to the corresponding HighLevel contact record during migration. HighLevel's tag-based segmentation and filtering work identically to Weave, so your team can use the same tag logic for workflows and contact views after go-live.
Weave
User / Staff Member
HighLevel
User
1:1Weave staff members and providers map to HighLevel Users by email address match. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — the team either creates HighLevel accounts or assigns records to an existing fallback user. User permissions are destination-side configuration and not migrated.
Weave
Workflow / Automation
HighLevel
Not Migrated
1:1Weave workflows (appointment reminders, follow-up texts) cannot migrate to HighLevel's Workflow engine because the two systems use entirely different automation architectures. We export the workflow definitions as a written rebuild reference. All automations must be reconstructed in HighLevel's Workflow Builder.
Weave
Email Template / Sequence
HighLevel
Not Migrated
1:1Weave email templates and messaging sequences do not migrate. HighLevel has its own template editor and workflow-based email/SMS sequences. We provide a template inventory export from Weave so your team can rebuild templates in HighLevel.
Weave
Call Recording
HighLevel
File Attachment
1:1Weave call recordings are audio files stored in Weave. HighLevel supports file attachments on contacts and activities. We attempt to export call recordings via Weave's API and attach them to the corresponding activity record in HighLevel. If recordings are not accessible via API, we flag them for manual re-upload by the practice.

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.
Weave gotchas
Pricing hides setup, hardware, and addon costs
SMS and voicemail retention limits
Limited public API documentation
VoIP call records tied to phone service
Consolidated pricing tiers obscure feature availability
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

Migration approach
Audit Weave data inventory and define the migration scope
We begin by connecting read-only API access to your Weave instance and inventorying all record types: contacts, companies (practice names), appointments, voicemails, messages, payments, reviews, and tags. We document custom field definitions, tag taxonomies, and staff user accounts. This scope document becomes the migration blueprint and is reviewed with your team before any data moves. The audit phase also identifies any data quality issues, such as contacts missing required fields or duplicate records, so they can be addressed before migration begins.
Design the HighLevel data model and custom object schema
Based on the Weave inventory, we design the HighLevel target schema: Contact custom fields, Company creation logic, Calendar event mapping, custom objects for PaymentRecord and ReviewRecord, and tag assignments. We create the custom fields and custom objects in your HighLevel sub-account before loading data so all fields are in place and validated. This pre-configuration ensures that data loads directly into defined fields rather than landing in generic custom fields, which simplifies post-migration reporting and workflow setup.
Resolve Weave staff users to HighLevel users by email
We map Weave staff members and providers to HighLevel users by email address match. Any Weave user without a corresponding HighLevel account is flagged before migration — your team either creates the HighLevel user account or assigns those records to a fallback HighLevel user. No record lands without an assigned HighLevel owner. This step prevents orphaned records and ensures that appointment assignments, voicemail ownership, and activity logs reflect the correct team member after migration.
Run a sample migration with field-level verification
A representative slice of 100–300 records migrates first, spanning contacts, appointments, voicemails, messages, and a sample payment record. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source Weave values against the migrated HighLevel values so you can verify voicemail transcription mapping, tag assignments, and appointment status conversion before the full run commits. This verification step catches mapping errors early, allowing corrections to the migration logic before large-scale data movement begins.
Execute the full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full Weave dataset migrates into HighLevel using HighLevel's Bulk CSV import and API endpoints, batched to respect API rate limits. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Weave during the cutover period. Every operation is logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. The batched approach prevents rate-limit throttling while maintaining data integrity across contacts, appointments, voicemails, messages, and custom objects.
Validate record counts and deliver a rebuild reference for workflows
Post-migration, we validate record counts per object, spot-check field values, and confirm that all tags, appointments, voicemails, messages, and custom objects are present in HighLevel. We deliver a written workflow rebuild reference documenting each Weave automation so your team can reconstruct patient follow-up sequences and appointment reminders in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. The rebuild reference includes trigger logic, condition branches, time delays, and action sequences extracted from Weave, formatted as step-by-step instructions for HighLevel's visual Workflow Builder.
