Step 3: Open the Link in Your Browser

Paste the snapshot link into Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

Once loaded, you’ll see the HighLevel interface asking you to import a snapshot.

Click “Import” or “Add to My Account.”

Step 4: Wait for the Import to Finish

The system will now import:

Funnels
Workflows
Forms
Calendars
Emails and texts
Custom values and more

This can take a few minutes depending on your internet speed.

Step 5: Assign to Your Sub-Account

Once the snapshot is imported, you’ll want to assign it to the correct sub-account.

Go to:

Settings > Accounts
Choose the sub-account you want to apply it to
Click “Load Snapshot” and select your imported snapshot

After the Snapshot is Imported

Once your snapshot is successfully imported into your CRM, there are a few essential steps to customize it for your business or your client’s brand. Think of the snapshot as a powerful framework—you’ll now personalize it to make it truly yours.

✅ Update Custom Values

Navigate to:
Settings > Custom Values

Custom values make it easy to update contact info across your entire account in just one place. Here’s what to update first:

Business name
Logo URL
Phone number
Email address
Website URL
Social media links
Calendar links
Location address

These values will auto-fill into your funnels, emails, and automations—saving you hours of manual editing.

✅ Update Workflows

Go to:
Automation > Workflows

Here’s how to fine-tune your automations:

Turn workflows ON: Many are imported in draft/off mode.
Replace test emails/numbers with your real ones.
Insert your own calendar links where needed.
Customize email/SMS copy to match your brand voice.
Set delays/timings according to your funnel goals.

Make sure to test each workflow with a dummy contact to ensure it functions as intended.

✅ Customize Funnel Copy and Design

Head over to:
Sites > Funnels > Select your funnel

Each funnel page comes with placeholder content. Update the following:

Headline and subheadings
Button text and call-to-actions
Testimonials or client logos
Service descriptions
Images, logos, and brand colors
Legal disclaimers or terms pages (if included)

Make sure your funnel aligns with your current offer, tone, and goals. A compelling headline and clear value proposition can make all the difference!

✅ Configure and Review Calendars

Where to go: Settings > Calendars

Confirm your calendar is connected to Google or Outlook
Update calendar name and description
Adjust availability, time zone, and booking settings
Add meeting location (Zoom link, in-person, or call)
Test a booking to ensure confirmation and reminders are working

If your snapshot included a calendar funnel, make sure the embedded calendar points to the correct one.

✅ Set Up Domains and SSL

Where to go: Settings > Domains

Connect your custom domain to the sub-account
Ensure each funnel or website is mapped correctly
Add SSL to secure the site with HTTPS (toggle in Domain settings)
Test the domain in an incognito window to confirm setup

✅ Check Mobile Optimization

Preview each funnel page on mobile
Ensure text is not cut off or overlapping
Verify button size is thumb-friendly
Test forms, calendars, and links

✅ Update Navigation and Footer Info

Where to go: Sites > Funnels / Websites > Footer Section

Make sure your footer has:

Up-to-date address and contact info
Social media links
Navigation to privacy and terms pages
Your copyright information
