ActiveCampaign → GoHighLevel
Migrate From ActiveCampaign to GoHighLevel
Moving from ActiveCampaign to GoHighLevel involves exporting contacts, lists, and tags, then rebuilding ActiveCampaign automations as GoHighLevel workflows. The transition consolidates email marketing and CRM into one connected account rather than maintaining a separate marketing tool alongside a separate CRM.
Can This Migration Be Done?
Migration is possible for contacts, lists, and tags. ActiveCampaign automations are rebuilt as GoHighLevel workflows rather than imported directly.
What Can Migrate
- Contacts exported from ActiveCampaign
- Lists mapped to tags or pipelines
- Custom fields mapped to GoHighLevel fields
- Tags applied in ActiveCampaign
- Email addresses and phone numbers
What Cannot Migrate
- ActiveCampaign automation logic (rebuilt as GoHighLevel workflows)
- Email template designs
- Individual email thread history
- ActiveCampaign split-test data

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move my ActiveCampaign automations?+
Automations are rebuilt as GoHighLevel workflows rather than imported directly. We replicate the triggers, conditions, and actions so your automation logic carries over.
Will my tags and lists carry over?+
Yes. Tags are applied directly, and lists are mapped to tags or pipelines so your segmentation is preserved.
Does email sending work the same way?+
GoHighLevel uses its own configured sending service. We help configure email sending as part of the setup.
