Stop Fighting with Failed GoHighLevel Imports
Moving client data from older CRMs (like HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, or Mailchimp) into GoHighLevel often results in mapping errors. This happens because legacy systems export data with weird delimiters, rogue spaces, and unformatted phone numbers. This browser-based utility sanitizes your CSV data instantly without ever sending your sensitive lead lists to a server.
What This Formatter Fixes Automatically
- Phone Number Sanitization: Strips brackets, spaces, dashes, and letters from phone number columns, leaving only the digits and standard country codes (e.g., +15551234567).
- Tag Formatting: GoHighLevel requires multiple tags to be wrapped in double quotes and separated by commas. This tool converts pipes (|) and semicolons (;) into commas, trims dead space, and quotes the column.
- Safe Delimiters: Prevents rogue commas inside data fields from breaking the column structure.
How to Use This Tool
Because Excel and Google Sheets can sometimes hide formatting errors, the best way to clean your list is via raw text.
- Step 1: Open your raw
.csvfile using a basic text editor (like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac). - Step 2: Copy all the text, including the header row, and paste it into the Input box above.
- Step 3: Click "Clean & Format CSV Data".
- Step 4: Copy the text from the Output box, paste it back into your text editor, and save it as
import-ready.csv.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my GoHighLevel contact import fail?
Bulk imports usually fail due to bad formatting in the CSV file. Common culprits include unescaped commas in address fields, letters/special characters in phone number columns, or incorrectly delimited tags.
Is my lead data stored or saved?
No. This tool runs 100% locally in your browser using Javascript. None of your CSV data is transmitted to a server, ensuring total data privacy for your agency and your clients.
