Here are the steps to export your attendee contacts from Obvio and manually import them into GoHighLevel (GHL):

Step 1: Export Contacts from Obvio
  1. Navigate to the Attendees tab within your specific Obvio event dashboard.
  2. Click on the Attendee Tools button, and select the Export Attendees option.

  3. Depending on the size of your attendee list, this process might take a few moments. Obvio will compile the data and send an email to your inbox containing a secure link to download the file.
  4. Download the file, which will be in a CSV (spreadsheet) format. This file will include all of your attendees' data, such as their first name, last name, email address, phone numbers, tags, groups, and unique login URLs.
Step 2: Clean Up Your CSV File
Before importing this file into GHL, it is highly recommended that you open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets and clean it up.
  • You will want to delete any Obvio-specific system columns that you do not want cluttering your CRM, such as the login URL, checked in data, or waiver signed columns.
  • Strip the spreadsheet down to the essential columns you want to map into GHL, such as First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone Number.

Step 3: Import into GoHighLevel
  1. Log into your GoHighLevel account and navigate to the Contacts section.

  2. Almost every CRM system, including GHL, has a built-in tool that allows you to easily import contacts using a comma-separated (CSV) document. Use GHL's import feature to upload the CSV file you just prepared.

  3. Map the columns from your spreadsheet (First Name to First Name, Email to Email, etc.) to the corresponding contact fields in GHL to finish creating your contact records.
