Overview
Moving from AddressTwo to Pipedrive is a structural upgrade from a flat-rate contact-and-deal tool to a pipeline-native CRM with a REST API, 400-plus integrations, and workflow automation available from the first paid tier. The core migration challenge is architectural: AddressTwo stores company data as a field on the Contact record, while Pipedrive maintains Organizations as independent objects linked to People via a Contact-to-Organization relationship that must be reconstructed during migration. AddressTwo provides no self-service API key or bulk export; we contact AddressTwo support on the customer's behalf to obtain data access and run a fuzzy de-duplication pass on all Contacts before import because AddressTwo's email sync has a documented tendency to create duplicate records. We migrate People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, Notes, Tags, and custom fields. Workflows, automations, and mass-email campaign analytics do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AddressTwo object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
AddressTwo
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1AddressTwo Contacts map directly to Pipedrive People. Every standard field (name, email, phone, address, job title) migrates 1:1. The full activity log (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) attaches as chronological Pipedrive Activities tied to the Person. We run a fuzzy de-duplication pass before import to catch any duplicates created by AddressTwo's documented BCC-email sync behavior.
AddressTwo
Company (embedded field)
Pipedrive
Organization
1:manyAddressTwo stores company name, domain, phone, and address as fields on the Contact record rather than as a separate object. We extract the unique company values across all Contacts, create one Organization record per unique company name, and link every Contact's company_name field to the resolved Organization via Pipedrive's Person-to-Organization relationship. The original company data migrates to Organization name, website, phone, and address fields.
AddressTwo
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1AddressTwo Deals map to Pipedrive Deals with stage, value, owner, and close date preserved. Pipedrive Deals require a Pipeline to be created in Pipedrive before migration, so we work with the customer during scoping to configure pipeline and stage names that match the AddressTwo deal stages. We preserve stage probabilities and order status from AddressTwo.
AddressTwo
Activity: Call
Pipedrive
Activity (type: call)
1:1AddressTwo call activities (date-stamped, tied to a Contact) migrate to Pipedrive Activity records with type call. Call duration, disposition notes, and the original timestamp migrate to the corresponding Pipedrive Activity fields. Owner resolves via email match to the Pipedrive User.
AddressTwo
Activity: Email
Pipedrive
Activity (type: email)
1:1AddressTwo email history (collected via BCC to AddressTwo on outbound messages) migrates as Pipedrive Activity records with type email. The thread subject, body, and timestamp attach to the Activity linked to the Contact's Person record. Email is stored as a flattened conversation log in AddressTwo, so we import the full thread as a single activity entry per message.
AddressTwo
Activity: Meeting
Pipedrive
Activity (type: meeting)
1:1AddressTwo meeting activities migrate as Pipedrive Activity records with type meeting. Start time, end time, location, and attendee notes migrate to the corresponding Pipedrive Activity fields. The timestamp and owner are preserved from the AddressTwo source record.
AddressTwo
Activity: Task
Pipedrive
Activity (type: task)
1:1AddressTwo task activities (follow-up reminders, to-dos) migrate as Pipedrive Activity records with type task. Status (completed, pending), priority, due date, and description migrate directly. Completed status and original completion date are preserved where present in AddressTwo.
AddressTwo
Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1AddressTwo free-text notes attached to a Contact migrate as Pipedrive Notes linked to the corresponding Person record. Notes are unstructured text in both systems, so they carry verbatim with no field-level transformation. Notes are associated with the same Person, Organization, or Deal they were attached to in AddressTwo.
AddressTwo
Tag/Label
Pipedrive
Label
1:1AddressTwo contact tags migrate as Pipedrive Labels (a flat taxonomy on the Person record). Tags are stored as a comma-separated array in AddressTwo and expand into individual Pipedrive Labels. If a customer uses tags for segmentation or campaign targeting, we map the full tag set to Pipedrive Labels and note any tags used for non-obvious purposes during scoping.
AddressTwo
Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1AddressTwo record owners are identified by email address. We match owners by email against the Pipedrive destination User table and assign the resolved OwnerId to each migrated Person, Organization, and Deal. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import. This step gates the migration start in production.

Migration approach
Data access procurement and scoping
We contact AddressTwo support on the customer's behalf to request both an approved API key (for live-account validation) and a full account export covering Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Notes, Tags, and any custom field data. While awaiting the export, we scope the migration by examining the provided data: counting records per object type, cataloging custom fields, identifying the deal pipeline and stage names, mapping AddressTwo owner emails to Pipedrive users, and flagging any campaign membership data that requires a custom field in Pipedrive. The scoping output is a written migration scope document with an agreed field mapping workbook.
Pipedrive configuration and field pre-creation
We configure Pipedrive before any data import begins. This includes creating the deal pipeline and stages to match the AddressTwo deal stages, creating any custom fields on Person and Deal objects (text, number, date, picklist) to match AddressTwo custom fields, setting up Labels to match the AddressTwo tag taxonomy, and provisioning any Pipedrive Users required for owner assignment. The customer reviews and approves the Pipedrive configuration before we proceed to migration.
Test migration and mapping validation
We run a full test migration into the customer's Pipedrive account using production-equivalent data volume. We validate record counts (People in, Organizations in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-check 25-50 random records against the AddressTwo source, and confirm that custom fields and labels are populated correctly. Any mapping corrections or missed custom fields are identified and resolved here. The customer reviews the test results and approves the field mapping before we schedule the production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order. Organizations are created first from the extracted company data. People are imported second with the OrganizationId resolved from the Organization lookup. Deals import third with pipeline_id, stage_id, and owner_id resolved. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) import fourth linked to the resolved Person records. Notes and Labels import last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner resolution gates the start of production migration; unresolved owners are held for the customer's admin to provision.
Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation
We freeze AddressTwo write access during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window. We validate record counts in Pipedrive, spot-check a sample of migrated Deals and People, and confirm activity timeline completeness. We deliver a written inventory of every active AddressTwo automation or workflow requiring rebuild, with Pipedrive automation equivalents noted for each. We offer a two-week hypercare window to resolve any post-migration issues. We do not rebuild AddressTwo automations in Pipedrive as part of the migration scope.
