Migrate Data

Migrate Forms and Workflows


Step 1: Review Existing JotForm Workflows

  • List Active Workflows: Identify and document all workflows triggered by form submissions in JotForm, such as email notifications, data routing, and integrations with other tools.

Step 2: Recreate Workflows in HighLevel

  • Rebuild Actions and Conditions:
    • Recreate actions such as sending confirmation emails, tagging contacts, or updating CRM records.

    • Set up any necessary conditions or branching logic to mirror your existing workflows.



Step 3: Test Workflows
