Migrate Typeform Data to GoHighLevel

If you are moving from Typeform and ClickUp style workflows into a unified CRM, this step-by-step guide will show you how to migrate your forms and responses into GoHighLevel safely and efficiently. You will learn exactly how to export data from Typeform, prepare it correctly, and import it into your GoHighLevel account without losing leads or response history.

This guide is based on the official migration instructions from Typeform to HighLevel so you can follow a clear, reliable process.

Before You Start: What Moves Into GoHighLevel

When you migrate from Typeform, you are not moving the interactive form interface itself, but rather the data associated with it. That data can then be connected to forms, contacts, and automations inside GoHighLevel.

From Typeform, you can export:

  • Form responses (answers submitted by your users)
  • Question labels and IDs
  • Submission timestamps
  • Respondent identifiers when available

Inside GoHighLevel, you will typically use this data to:

  • Create or update contacts
  • Populate custom fields
  • Trigger automations and workflows
  • Build reports and segments based on form answers

Step 1: Export Your Typeform Data for GoHighLevel

The first step is to export all relevant responses from Typeform so they can be imported into GoHighLevel via CSV.

1.1 Open the Typeform Results Area

  1. Log in to your Typeform account.
  2. Open the specific form whose data you want to move to GoHighLevel.
  3. Go to the Results section for that form.

The Results area is where all responses are stored and where export options are available.

1.2 Choose the Correct Export Format

In the Results section, choose the option to export your responses. You will typically have the following formats:

  • CSV
  • XLSX (Excel)
  • Other formats depending on your plan

For use with GoHighLevel, select CSV. The CSV format is best suited because GoHighLevel imports contact and custom field data from CSV files.

1.3 Configure Columns for GoHighLevel

Before you finalize the export, review the available columns. Typical fields include:

  • Response ID
  • Submission date and time
  • Email address
  • Name fields
  • Question labels and answers

Make sure that crucial contact details such as email and phone are included, as these will be primary identifiers for contacts inside GoHighLevel.

Once confirmed, download the CSV file to your computer.

Step 2: Prepare Your CSV File for GoHighLevel

Now that you have exported the data, you must prepare the CSV so that GoHighLevel can correctly map fields and create or update contacts.

2.1 Open and Review the CSV

  1. Open the CSV in a spreadsheet tool (Google Sheets, Excel, or similar).
  2. Check the column headers at the top row.
  3. Confirm that each question from Typeform has its own column.

Look for columns such as email, phone, first name, last name, and any other fields you want to map to GoHighLevel custom fields.

2.2 Clean Up Unnecessary Columns

To make the import smoother in GoHighLevel, remove or hide data you will not use, such as:

  • Internal IDs that you do not need
  • Technical metadata fields
  • Duplicate information

Keep the columns that represent meaningful information you want to keep in GoHighLevel, including:

  • Contact identifiers (email, phone)
  • Names and key profile information
  • Important answers (preferences, selections, qualifying questions)

2.3 Rename Columns to Match GoHighLevel Fields

To make mapping easier during import into GoHighLevel:

  • Rename Email or similar columns to email if needed.
  • Rename name columns to first_name, last_name or similar clear labels.
  • Give clear names to columns that will become GoHighLevel custom fields, such as service_interest or budget_range.

Save the file again as a CSV once you finish the cleanup and renaming.

Step 3: Import Contacts into GoHighLevel

The next step is to bring your cleaned CSV data into your GoHighLevel account so that all Typeform responses become contacts and fields you can use in pipelines, automations, and campaigns.

3.1 Access the Contacts Section in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Open the sub-account where you want the Typeform data to live.
  3. Go to the Contacts section from the main menu.

This is where the bulk import function is located.

3.2 Start the CSV Import

  1. Click the option to Import Contacts.
  2. Select the CSV file you prepared from Typeform.
  3. Upload the file and wait for the field mapping screen to appear.

GoHighLevel will attempt to auto-detect certain columns, such as email and phone, but you should verify all mappings carefully.

3.3 Map Typeform Fields to GoHighLevel Fields

On the mapping screen:

  • Match your email column to the Email field in GoHighLevel.
  • Match phone numbers to the Phone field.
  • Match first and last names to the appropriate standard name fields.
  • For each additional answer from Typeform, select or create a corresponding custom field in GoHighLevel.

If a matching custom field does not exist yet, create a new custom field in GoHighLevel with a clear name and correct data type (text, number, dropdown, etc.). Then map the column to that custom field.

3.4 Finalize the Import

  1. Review all field mappings for accuracy.
  2. Choose how to handle duplicates (for example, update existing contacts based on email).
  3. Confirm and start the import process.

Once complete, your Typeform responses will appear as contacts and fields inside GoHighLevel, ready to be used for campaigns, automations, and reporting.

Step 4: Rebuild Forms and Automations in GoHighLevel

While the raw data comes over via CSV, form layouts and logic must be rebuilt using the native tools inside GoHighLevel.

4.1 Create New Forms in GoHighLevel

  1. Go to the Sites or Funnels & Websites section.
  2. Open the Form Builder in GoHighLevel.
  3. Recreate your Typeform questions as form fields.

Use the same field names you used in the CSV mapping so that new submissions continue to populate the correct contact and custom fields.

4.2 Connect Forms to Pipelines and Workflows

After building your forms in GoHighLevel:

  • Attach forms to funnels, websites, or landing pages.
  • Create workflows that trigger when a form is submitted.
  • Use imported data to segment and trigger specific automations.

This ensures that legacy contacts from Typeform and new contacts created in GoHighLevel follow the same processes.

Troubleshooting Your GoHighLevel Migration

Common issues when moving Typeform data into GoHighLevel include:

  • Incorrect field mapping: Check column names and custom field types.
  • Encoding problems: If special characters appear broken, open and resave the CSV with UTF-8 encoding.
  • Missing contacts: Recheck filters and date ranges used during Typeform export.
  • Duplicate records: Adjust duplicate handling rules and consider running a cleanup inside GoHighLevel.

If you need further detail, refer to the original migration instructions from the official guide at this Typeform to HighLevel migration article.

Optimize Your GoHighLevel Setup After Migration

Once the migration from Typeform is complete, spend time optimizing how you use the imported data in GoHighLevel.

  • Build dashboards using key custom fields.
  • Segment contacts based on important answers.
  • Set up nurture sequences tailored to specific responses.
  • Automate notifications and tasks for your team when high-value responses arrive.
