Overview
Affinity Fieldreach stores data around field-service operations — work orders, field workers, asset registries, service locations, and multi-step job histories. Pipedrive's data model centers on Persons, Organizations, Deals, Leads, and Activities structured around a sales pipeline. These platforms solve fundamentally different problems, so the migration requires a deliberate object-model translation rather than a direct field-for-field carryover. FlitStack AI extracts Affinity's core records (contacts, organizations, work-order headers, asset identifiers, service location addresses) and maps them into Pipedrive's Persons and Organizations. Work orders translate to Deals with custom fields capturing job type, priority, dispatch status, and scheduled versus actual duration. Affinity's field-worker records become Pipedrive Users when the email addresses match; unmatched workers land as custom Person fields for manual assignment. Asset records from Affinity migrate as Pipedrive Products, preserving serial numbers, maintenance schedules, and linked location data. Field-service automation logic (dispatch rules, scheduling constraints, SLA triggers) does not migrate — Pipedrive's automation engine operates on deal and activity events, not field-dispatch workflows. FlitStack exports Affinity automation definitions as a rebuild reference so your Pipedrive admin can reconstruct dispatch logic using Pipedrive's Workflow Automations. Files attached to Affinity work orders re-upload to Pipedrive's Activity attachments. The migration uses Affinity's REST API with pagination for bulk export, then Pipedrive's bulk API for ingestion with field-level validation before final commit.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Affinity Fieldreach 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.
Affinity Fieldreach
Person
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Affinity Person records (first name, last name, email, phone, job title) map directly to Pipedrive Person records. Primary email address resolves as the unique identifier for de-duplication during import. Affinity Person custom properties migrate as Pipedrive custom fields using the hash-key reference system.
Affinity Fieldreach
Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Affinity Organization records (company name, domain, industry, employee count) map to Pipedrive Organization records. Multi-location organizations in Affinity require splitting into one primary Organization with additional addresses stored as custom fields on the primary record or linked via Pipedrive's address composite field.
Affinity Fieldreach
Work Order
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Affinity Work Orders map to Pipedrive Deals. The Affinity work-order name becomes the Deal name; work-order status (Open, In Progress, Completed) maps to Pipedrive deal stage values. Custom fields on the work order (priority, job type, dispatch method, estimated duration) migrate as Pipedrive Deal custom fields. Original work-order create date preserved as a custom datetime field for audit continuity.
Affinity Fieldreach
Work Order Activity (field visit, check-in, completion)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Affinity work-order activities (technician check-ins, site visits, job-completion logs) map to Pipedrive Activities. Completed visits become Pipedrive completed meetings with the technician name as the activity owner and original timestamp preserved. Affinity's multi-step job history surfaces as a chain of linked activities on the corresponding Deal.
Affinity Fieldreach
Field Worker
Pipedrive
User / Person custom field
1:1Affinity field-worker records resolve to Pipedrive Users by email match. Workers with recognized email addresses become Pipedrive Users and receive the Deal owner assignment. Workers without matching Pipedrive user emails land as Person records with a custom 'Field Worker Origin' flag so admins can decide whether to invite them as system users or keep records as contact references.
Affinity Fieldreach
Asset
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Affinity Asset records (equipment name, serial number, warranty expiration, maintenance schedule) migrate as Pipedrive Products. Serial numbers and warranty dates become custom fields on the Product. Active maintenance schedules do not translate to Pipedrive's task system natively — they are preserved as custom date fields and surfaced as a rebuild reference for Pipedrive automations or a connected maintenance tool.
Affinity Fieldreach
Service Location
Pipedrive
Organization address / custom field
many:1Affinity Service Location records (street address, city, region, postal code, location notes) merge into the linked Organization's address composite in Pipedrive. Multiple service locations per customer collapse to one primary Organization address, with secondary locations stored as custom address fields (Location 2, Location 3) or linked notes for dispatch reference.
Affinity Fieldreach
Custom Field (work-order property)
Pipedrive
Deal custom field
1:1Affinity custom fields on Work Orders (such as job category, service type, on-site requirements, customer sign-off) require creation of corresponding Pipedrive Deal custom fields. Field type mapping: Affinity text fields map to Pipedrive varchar; Affinity date fields map to Pipedrive date; Affinity pick-list fields map to Pipedrive set options with value-by-value mapping where source values differ from Pipedrive's defaults.
Affinity Fieldreach
Work Order Attachment / File
Pipedrive
Activity attachment
1:1Files attached to Affinity Work Orders (photos, signed forms, inspection reports) re-upload to Pipedrive Activity records as attachments linked to the corresponding Deal. File size limit is Pipedrive's 100MB per file. Inline images from Affinity job notes download and rehost to maintain visual context in Pipedrive.
Affinity Fieldreach
Field-Service Automation (dispatch rules, SLA triggers)
Pipedrive
Not migrated — exported for rebuild
1:1Affinity dispatch rules, scheduling constraints, and SLA timer automations have no native equivalent in Pipedrive's automation engine, which triggers on CRM object events rather than field-dispatch workflows. FlitStack exports Affinity automation definitions as JSON and delivers a rebuild playbook mapping each rule to Pipedrive Workflow Automations or a third-party scheduling integration.
Affinity Fieldreach
Affinity List Field (custom multi-select, dropdown)
Pipedrive
Deal custom field (set/option)
1:1Affinity list fields with predefined options (such as job priority: Low, Medium, High, Critical) map to Pipedrive set-type custom fields with corresponding options. Option order and color coding are not preserved — these require manual reconfiguration in Pipedrive's field settings after migration.
Affinity Fieldreach
Affinity System ID
Pipedrive
Custom field (Source_System_ID__c)
1:1Affinity's internal record IDs are stored on migrated Pipedrive records as a custom text field named Source_System_ID__c for traceability, cross-reference, and delta-run de-duplication. This prevents duplicate record creation if the migration runs multiple times against the same source data. The source system ID also enables post-migration audit trails, rollback operations, and integration mapping back to the original Affinity records.

Migration approach
Extract Affinity metadata and field definitions
Before exporting records, FlitStack queries Affinity's fields endpoint to build a complete field-label-to-ID mapping for every object type (Person, Organization, Work Order, Asset, Activity). This metadata extraction runs first to avoid the two-call-per-field penalty during bulk export. If the Affinity API returns a 429 rate-limit response during metadata fetch, the process waits and retries with exponential backoff before proceeding to record extraction.
Export Persons, Organizations, and Assets in dependency order
Affinity Persons export first, followed by Organizations, then Assets. Persons and Organizations export in parallel batches of 200 records using Affinity's pagination cursor. Each export run stores the Affinity internal ID on every record for traceability. De-duplication checks run against the exported set using email as the unique identifier for Persons and domain as the unique identifier for Organizations before loading into Pipedrive.
Resolve field-worker and owner email matches against Pipedrive users
FlitStack queries Pipedrive's Users endpoint to build an email-to-user-ID lookup table. Affinity field-worker emails and work-order owner emails cross-reference this table during the migration run. Matched records receive the correct Pipedrive owner_id during Deal creation, ensuring the responsible technician or dispatcher is assigned as the deal owner. Unmatched owner emails are flagged in a pre-migration report so the admin either invites the user to Pipedrive first or assigns a fallback owner before the migration commits.
Run sample migration of 100–300 records with field-level diff
A representative slice of Affinity records — spanning Persons, Organizations, Work Orders, and Activities — migrates to Pipedrive first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source and destination values for every mapped field. The admin reviews priority field mapping, stage translation, asset serial number placement, and owner resolution before the full run proceeds. Sample migration validates that custom field hash keys in Pipedrive match the intended field types.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration loads remaining records into Pipedrive using bulk API with adaptive throttling. A delta-pickup window opens at migration start and remains active for 24–48 hours after the initial load completes, capturing any Affinity records modified during the cutover window. Audit log records every operation (create, update, skip) with the source Affinity ID and destination Pipedrive record URL. One-click rollback reverts all operations if reconciliation fails.
