HighLevel (GoHighLevel) is a business management platform for service-based businesses. It provides customer relationship management, marketing automation, and operations tooling to help teams capture leads, manage pipelines, and run campaigns. The connector is built for agency accounts: you authenticate with OAuth, then sync one or more location IDs (sub-accounts) in a single source. All location-scoped streams include location_id so you can filter or join across sub-accounts in the catalog.

Configuring HighLevel as a Source

In the Sources tab, click on the “Add source” button located on the top right of your screen. Then, select the HighLevel option from the list of connectors. Click Next and you’ll be prompted to add your access.

1. Add account access

Authorize Nekt with OAuth using an agency user that can access the locations you want to sync. The following configurations are available:
  • OAuth (refresh token): Sign in and grant access so Nekt can call the HighLevel API on your behalf.
  • Location IDs: The sub-account location IDs to include in the sync. See HighLevel help for how to find a location ID.
  • Start date: Earliest point in time for incremental streams (contacts, opportunities). Records updated on or after this window are considered for historical loads and incremental bookmarks.
Once you’re done, click Next.

2. Select streams

Choose which data streams you want to sync. For faster extractions, select only the streams that are relevant to your analysis. You can select entire groups of streams or pick specific ones.
Tip: The stream can be found more easily by typing its name.
Select the streams and click Next.

3. Configure data streams

Customize how you want your data to appear in your catalog. Select the desired layer where the data will be placed, a folder to organize it inside the layer, a name for each table (which will effectively contain the fetched data), and the type of sync.
  • Layer: choose between the existing layers on your catalog. This is where you will find your new extracted tables as the extraction runs successfully.
  • Folder: a folder can be created inside the selected layer to group all tables being created from this new data source.
  • Table name: we suggest a name, but feel free to customize it. You have the option to add a prefix to all tables at once and make this process faster!
  • Sync Type: you can choose between INCREMENTAL and FULL_TABLE.
    • Incremental (contacts, opportunities, notes, tasks): each run fetches updates since the last successful bookmark (driven by API update timestamps and your Start date). Child streams (notes, tasks) automatically merge new or updated records based on their parent contacts.
    • Full table (locations, custom_fields, campaigns, pipelines): each run replaces the current snapshot for that table.
Once you are done configuring, click Next.

4. Configure data source

Describe your data source for easy identification within your organization, not exceeding 140 characters. To define your Trigger, consider how often you want data to be extracted from this source. This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the new table data updated (every day, once a week, or only at specific times). Optionally, you can define some additional settings:
  • Configure Delta Log Retention and determine for how long we should store old states of this table as it gets updated. Read more about this resource here.
  • Determine when to execute an Additional Full Sync. This will complement the incremental data extractions, ensuring that your data is completely synchronized with your source every once in a while.
Once you are ready, click Next to finalize the setup.

5. Check your new source

You can view your new source on the Sources page. If needed, manually trigger the source extraction by clicking on the arrow button. Once executed, your data will appear in your Catalog.
For you to be able to see it on your Catalog, you need at least one successful source run.

Streams and Fields

Below you’ll find all available data streams from HighLevel and their corresponding fields:
Reference stream that emits one row per configured Location ID, with the agency company identifier. Child streams (contacts, opportunities, etc.) run in the context of each location.Replication: FULL_TABLE (not incremental). In the tap catalog this stream is off by default; enable it if you want an explicit dimension table of configured locations.
Contacts for each location, loaded via the search API. Incremental replication uses date_updated.
Notes attached to contacts, with their text content.One API call per contact, so this stream is off by default in the catalog; enable it when note text is needed in the warehouse.Replication: INCREMENTAL (merges on primary key using date_added).
Tasks attached to contacts, with their text content.One API call per contact, so this stream is off by default in the catalog; enable it when task text is needed in the warehouse.Replication: INCREMENTAL (merges on primary key using due_date).
Custom field definitions for the location (for example fields attached to contacts or opportunities).Replication: FULL_TABLE.
Marketing campaigns for the location.Replication: FULL_TABLE.
Opportunity pipelines and their stages for the location.Replication: FULL_TABLE.
Opportunities (deals) per location from the search API. Incremental replication uses updated_at (filtered via API date_updated).

Data Model

Relationships are driven by location scope, then CRM keys between opportunities, contacts, pipelines, and field definitions.

Use Cases for Data Analysis

Examples below use placeholder schema and table names. Replace nekt_raw and the table names with the layer and table names you configured for this source (for example nekt_raw.hilevel_opportunities).

1. Pipeline overview by stage

Summarize open opportunities by pipeline and stage using monetary_value (cast in SQL because it is stored as a string in the catalog).

Implementation Notes

Replication and state

  • Incremental streams partition bookmark state by location_id, so each sub-account progresses independently.
  • locations exists mainly to drive per-location extraction in the Singer tap; enable it in the catalog only if you want that reference table materialized.

Child streams (notes and tasks)

  • Replication and merging: notes and tasks are fetched individually for each contact updated in the sync window. Because these API endpoints do not accept a date filter, the connector reads all of a contact’s child records. They declare a replication key (date_added for notes, due_date for tasks) strictly to keep the extraction mode INCREMENTAL in the catalog, ensuring the data warehouse merges records on their primary keys rather than dropping data for contacts that didn’t change in the window.
  • Deleted contacts mid-sync: The extraction searches for updated contacts and subsequently fetches their notes/tasks. If a contact is deleted in GoHighLevel between the search and the child stream fetch, the API returns a 400 Contact not found error. The connector safely skips these deleted contacts rather than failing the overall sync.

Data shape

  • contacts.opportunities and some custom field values are stored as strings (JSON text) where the API returns nested structures or mixed types.
  • opportunities.monetary_value is modeled as a string; cast explicitly in SQL for numeric aggregations.

API usage

  • Selecting fewer streams reduces runtime and API load. Prefer incremental streams with a tight Start date for large locations.
