Overview

What this migration involves

Ziggu organizes client-facing project data around properties, units, and developer workflows — clients, conversations, approvals, and documents all link to a project context. HighLevel structures its CRM around contacts, companies, and opportunities with pipelines, tags, and custom objects. The migration translates Ziggu's project-level data into HighLevel's contact-centric model: projects become either opportunities with custom properties or custom objects depending on their complexity, clients become contacts, and project conversations surface as contact notes or tasks. We migrate all standard fields (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses) plus Ziggu's custom properties as HighLevel custom fields. Workflows, automations, and approval chains require manual rebuild using HighLevel's workflow builder — we export your Ziggu workflow definitions as a reference document for your admin. The migration runs via HighLevel's bulk CSV import API with delta-pickup for in-flight changes during cutover. During the planning phase we produce a schema setup plan that defines the Unit, Payment, and Survey custom objects, including field names, types, and lookup relationships. The custom object definitions are delivered before the migration run so your admin can create them in HighLevel ahead of time. After the migration, a validation report compares record counts and field values between Ziggu and HighLevel, and any mismatches are flagged for manual review.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

What's pushing teams away

  • Teams outgrow the platform when project volumes exceed tier minimums — the per-active-project pricing model becomes expensive at scale and forces difficult decisions about which legacy projects to deactivate.
  • The lack of a public REST API means Zapier/Make integrations must be built around screen scraping or webhook triggers, creating fragile automations that break on UI updates.
  • Property developers with complex multi-entity corporate structures find Ziggu's flat account model insufficient — there is no parent-company hierarchy or multi-subsidiary consolidation view.
  • When a project is deactivated it becomes read-only and cannot accept new tasks, conversations, or file uploads, which creates friction in post-handover support scenarios where the development team still needs to communicate with buyers.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How Ziggu objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a Ziggu 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.

Ziggu

Contact (Client)

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu's client contacts map 1:1 to HighLevel contacts. We preserve name, email, phone, address, and any custom contact properties. The contact's primary project association is preserved as a tag (e.g., Project-[Name]) and optionally linked to a HighLevel opportunity representing that project.

Ziggu

Company (Partner/Contractor)

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu partner and contractor company records map to HighLevel companies. Company name, domain/website, industry, and employee count migrate directly. Ziggu's partner portal visibility flag has no HighLevel equivalent — we flag this for manual review after migration and adjustment in the target system.

Ziggu

Project

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Each Ziggu project with active deals or sales tracking becomes a HighLevel opportunity. Project name maps to Opportunity name, project status maps to pipeline stage, and close date maps to the opportunity close date. Projects without a sales component map to custom objects instead.

Ziggu

Multi-unit Project

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object (Unit)

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu's Multi-unit Projects add-on creates individual unit records under a project. These map to a HighLevel Custom Object named 'Unit' linked to the parent opportunity via a lookup relationship. Each unit's status (available, reserved, sold) becomes a custom pick-list field on the Unit object.

Ziggu

Task

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu tasks linked to projects and contacts migrate as HighLevel tasks. Original due dates, assignees (resolved by email match to HighLevel users), and task status are preserved. Unassigned tasks are flagged for manual owner assignment before the full run. Post-migration review ensures accuracy.

Ziggu

Conversation

maps to

HighLevel

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu's structured conversations per project and unit become HighLevel notes on the linked contact or opportunity. Each conversation thread is consolidated into a single note with a timestamp header and threaded message content. Original message authors are preserved in the note body.

Ziggu

Document/File

maps to

HighLevel

File (Contact/Opportunity attachment)

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu documents are re-uploaded as HighLevel files attached to the relevant contact or opportunity. File size limits apply — documents exceeding HighLevel's attachment size are flagged for alternative storage (Google Drive link stored in a custom field). Version history is not preserved; the latest version is migrated.

Ziggu

Survey

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object + Form

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu survey responses with custom questions become records in a HighLevel Custom Object. Survey metadata (name, creation date, respondent) is stored on the custom object; individual question-answer pairs map to custom fields on that object. Survey logic and conditional branching require manual rebuild in HighLevel's form builder.

Ziggu

Financials (Payment Schedule/Invoice)

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object (Payment) + Opportunity Line Items

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu Financials add-on payment schedules map to a HighLevel Custom Object named 'Payment' linked to the opportunity. Individual invoices with amounts and due dates become Payment records. Paid amounts update the opportunity amount field to maintain financial accuracy on the CRM side.

Ziggu

Tag/Label

maps to

HighLevel

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu labels and tags on contacts and projects migrate as HighLevel tags. Tags are preserved on contact and opportunity records for segmentation and workflow triggers. Ziggu's project-level tags (e.g., Unit type, Deal status) are prepended with a namespace (Project-) to avoid collision with contact-level tags.

Ziggu

User/Team Member

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu team members are resolved by email match to HighLevel users. If a Ziggu user has no corresponding HighLevel account, their records are assigned to a fallback owner and flagged for admin review. Ziggu role/permission settings do not migrate — those are destination-side HighLevel configuration.

Ziggu

Approval Chain

maps to

HighLevel

No Equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Ziggu's built-in approval workflows for document sign-offs and decision chains have no direct HighLevel equivalent. We export the approval definition (approver sequence, thresholds, conditions) as a reference document for your admin to rebuild using HighLevel's workflow builder and e-sign integrations.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Ziggu project hierarchies require pre-migration schema design in HighLevel

    Ziggu's Multi-unit Projects add-on nests units under a parent project with N:1 relationships that don't map directly to HighLevel's flat object model. Without pre-planning, a project with 50 units becomes 50 individual opportunity records or a single opportunity with 50 custom object records. We map each project to one opportunity and each unit to a custom Unit object with a lookup field back to the opportunity — but this requires the Unit custom object type to be created in HighLevel before data lands. We deliver a schema setup plan with exact field definitions your admin creates before the migration runs.

  • Ziggu approval chains and workflow rules have no HighLevel equivalent and must be rebuilt

    Ziggu's built-in approval chains for document sign-offs and decision tracking are a core feature of its property-development workflow. HighLevel's Workflow Builder can replicate the logic (triggers, conditions, actions) but not the approval-gate construct natively. We export each Ziggu approval chain as a structured reference document — approver sequence, threshold conditions, notification actions — so your HighLevel admin can rebuild it in the workflow builder. Approval definitions are not migrated as data records; they are exported as documentation for manual rebuild.

  • Partner Portal visibility flags require manual rebuild using HighLevel sharing rules

    Ziggu's Partner Portal add-on gives suppliers and contractors scoped read/write access to specific project data — a sharing model that HighLevel doesn't replicate natively. HighLevel's sub-account model controls data isolation between agency and client workspaces, but per-record sharing within a sub-account requires manually configured sharing rules or the use of HighLevel's permission sets. We flag every record with Partner Portal visibility as a custom field (Partner_Portal_Visible__c) so your admin can configure sharing rules post-migration.

  • Financials add-on payment records do not become native HighLevel invoices

    Ziggu's Financials add-on stores payment schedules and invoices with amounts, due dates, and paid/unpaid status. HighLevel has no native invoice or billing object — payment data migrates to a custom Payment object, but reconciling paid status requires manual updates or a separate accounting workflow. We map each Ziggu payment schedule line to a Payment record with Amount__c, Due_Date__c, and Payment_Status__c (Open, Paid, Overdue) as custom fields. Your admin sets up a HighLevel workflow to update Payment_Status__c when the opportunity amount changes or a related task is marked complete.

  • Survey conditional branching and response logic requires manual rebuild in HighLevel forms

    Ziggu surveys can include conditional logic that shows or hides questions based on prior answers. HighLevel forms support conditional field visibility, but the condition syntax and trigger behavior differ. We migrate survey questions and response data to a Survey custom object — preserving question text, answer values, and respondent — but conditional branching must be re-created in HighLevel's form builder by your admin using the exported survey definition as a reference.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Ziggu to HighLevel data migration

  1. Audit Ziggu data export and schema

    FlitStack AI exports your Ziggu data via CSV from Settings, capturing all contacts, companies, projects, tasks, conversations, documents, and active add-on data (multi-unit, surveys, financials). We compare the exported record counts against Ziggu's internal counts to identify any gaps. We also document your Ziggu pipeline stages, project statuses, custom property definitions, and approval chain configurations so the mapping plan accounts for every non-standard value.

  2. Design HighLevel schema setup plan

    Before data moves, your HighLevel admin (or our team) creates the custom object types needed: Unit, Payment, Survey Response. We deliver a schema plan specifying exact field names, types, pick-list values, and lookups for each custom object. We also specify which HighLevel pipeline and stage values correspond to each Ziggu project status. Your admin pre-creates these in HighLevel so the migration runs against a schema that is already complete.

  3. Resolve owners and users by email

    HighLevel users are matched against Ziggu owner IDs by email. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates HighLevel accounts for them first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in HighLevel without a valid assignedTo value. Ziggu role assignments do not migrate; those are rebuilt as HighLevel permission sets post-migration. If multiple Ziggu owners share the same email, the system links records to the first matched HighLevel user to avoid duplication.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, projects, tasks, and add-on data. We generate a field-level diff between the Ziggu source values and the HighLevel destination values so you can verify project-to-opportunity mapping, custom property translation, tag preservation, and owner resolution before the full run commits. You approve the sample before we proceed to the full migration.

  5. Full migration with delta-pickup and rollback

    The full migration runs against HighLevel using bulk CSV import for high-volume objects and the HighLevel REST API for custom objects with relationships. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Ziggu records modified during the cutover window so HighLevel reflects Ziggu's final state at go-live. An audit log tracks every imported record, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Strengths

  • Per-project billing aligns cost to active workload — completed projects can be deactivated without losing history.
  • Built-in client portal with 24/7 transparency reduces the back-and-forth email volume between development teams and buyers.
  • Conversations remain writable on deactivated projects, keeping post-handover support communication open.
  • Structured approval workflows with deadline tracking help property developers collect client decisions without chasing.
  • Survey module integrates NPS and custom question collection at defined project milestones.

Weaknesses

  • No public REST API documented — integrations must rely on webhook triggers or manual export workflows.
  • Per-active-project pricing with tier minimums (10/15/25) makes the platform expensive to maintain for large legacy project portfolios.
  • Deactivated projects become read-only across tasks and files, limiting post-handover activity.
  • Partner Portal, Multi-unit Projects, Financials, Sales, and Surveys are all paid add-ons priced per active unit, layering costs quickly.
  • Flat account structure with no parent-company or multi-subsidiary hierarchy for larger property groups.

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.
