Overview
Boostr and Pipedrive occupy opposite ends of the CRM spectrum. Boostr is a media-specific platform built for omnichannel ad-sales teams, combining an OMS with a CRM and tracking Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, and Ad Inventory as distinct objects. Pipedrive is a general-purpose sales CRM with Organizations, Persons, Deals, Activities, and a Products module. The migration from Boostr to Pipedrive is primarily a data model translation: Advertisers become Organizations, Proposals and Orders collapse into Deals at different pipeline stages, and ad inventory line items flatten into custom fields or Pipedrive Products. The critical technical constraint is that Boostr has no publicly documented API, so all data extraction requires manual CSV coordination with the Boostr implementation team. We scope a dedicated extraction session, agree on field set and format upfront, and validate completeness before transformation begins. GAM OAuth tokens and Boostr's native integrations do not migrate; we document them in the post-migration handoff for the customer to re-establish. Workflows, proposal templates, and order automation rules do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Boostr 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.
Boostr
Advertiser
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Boostr Advertisers map directly to Pipedrive Organizations. Advertiser name, website, industry, and billing address migrate as Organization fields. We use Advertiser name as the dedupe key during import to avoid duplicate Organizations if multiple Campaigns or Orders reference the same Advertiser. Custom properties on Advertiser migrate to custom fields on Organization using Pipedrive's field type mapping (text, number, date, picklist). Boostr does not have a Contact object separate from Advertiser, so primary contact fields on the Advertiser become Person records linked to the Organization after Org creation.
Boostr
Campaign
Pipedrive
Organization (custom label) or Deal custom field
lossyBoostr Campaigns group multiple Proposals and Orders under a single media campaign umbrella. We preserve Campaign-to-Proposal/Order relationships by creating a Campaign custom field on each Deal in Pipedrive. If the customer has fewer than 50 campaigns and wants active pipeline filtering by campaign, we recommend a separate Campaign Organization with a 'Campaign' label and link Deals via a custom organization-people relationship. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on how their sales ops team segments reporting.
Boostr
Proposal
Pipedrive
Deal (Draft/Pending stage)
1:1Boostr Proposals represent draft offers before an Order is confirmed. We map Proposals to Pipedrive Deals in a 'Proposal' or 'Pending' pipeline stage distinct from booked Orders. Proposal line items migrate as deal custom fields capturing placement, format, dates, impressions, and CPM. Proposal status (Active, Revised, Expired, Accepted) migrates as a custom field; Deals with Accepted Proposals can be flagged for the customer's admin to convert to a separate Order Deal or update the stage during post-migration review.
Boostr
Order
Pipedrive
Deal (Booked stage)
1:1Boostr Orders are the confirmed commercial agreements representing booked ad inventory. We map Orders to Pipedriver Deals in a 'Booked' or 'Closed Won' stage. Order monetary value, billing status, and payment terms migrate as Deal fields. Boostr's Order-to-Proposal lineage (which Proposal an Order originated from) migrates as a custom Deal field linking the Order Deal to the Proposal Deal by ID reference stored during transformation.
Boostr
Ad Inventory Unit
Pipedrive
Product or custom fields on Deal
lossyBoostr captures ad inventory as structured line items per Order: placement name, format (display, video, native), flight dates, impressions, CPM, and unit count. Pipedrive's native Deal model is monolithic without standard line-item support, so we extract each inventory unit as a separate group of custom fields on the Deal. For customers with complex product catalogs, we recommend using Pipedrive's Products module: each Ad Inventory Unit type becomes a Product2 record with Standard Price Book entries, and we attach Products to Deals via the Deal-Product relationship. The customer selects the strategy during scoping.
Boostr
Revenue Record
Pipedrive
Deal monetary fields
1:1Boostr Revenue Records track revenue at the Order and line-item level with revenue types and billing status. Order-level revenue figures migrate as Pipedrive Deal value (weighted_value and weighted_amount fields). Line-item revenue detail migrates to custom fields on the Deal or to Product pricing on Deal-Product records depending on the inventory mapping strategy selected.
Boostr
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stage
lossyBoostr's configurable pipeline stages (Prospect, Proposal, Negotiating, Booked, etc.) follow a standard media sales lifecycle. We replicate the customer's stage labels, probabilities, and ordering into Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages. Each Boostr pipeline becomes a separate Pipedrive pipeline with its own stage set. Stage probabilities round to Pipedrive's allowed integer format.
Boostr
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Boostr User records including names, roles, team assignments, and email addresses map to Pipedrive Users. We perform an email-based lookup against the destination Pipedrive account's User table to avoid duplicate user creation. Boostr users without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
Boostr
Custom Properties
Pipedrive
Custom fields
1:1Boostr supports custom fields on Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, and other objects. We discover the full custom field schema during scoping, map each field to the corresponding Pipedrive custom field by type (text, number, date, picklist, boolean), and apply field-level mapping to the destination. Pipedrive custom field types must match the Boostr source type; we flag any type mismatches during mapping review and document resolution strategy.
Boostr
Activity (calls, emails, meetings, tasks)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Boostr tracks activities manually — reps enter call, email, meeting, and task records by hand rather than automatically. If Boostr contains historical activity records, we migrate them to Pipedrive Activity objects (Activity type maps to Pipedrive activity_type: call, email, meeting, task). Note that Boostr's manual tracking constraint means many accounts have sparse activity history; we validate activity record volume during scoping and adjust migration scope accordingly.
Boostr
Integrations and Connected Apps
Pipedrive
None
1:1Boostr's GAM (Google Ad Manager) push integration and other connected apps use platform-specific OAuth connections that cannot be replicated in Pipedrive. We document active integrations during discovery and include a reconnection checklist in the post-migration handoff. GAM OAuth reconnection requires the customer to re-authorize the connection in their destination ad ops stack; this is a configuration step, not a data migration task.

Migration approach
Discovery and export planning
We scope the source Boostr environment: data volumes per object (Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units), custom property schemas on each object, active pipeline stages, active user count, and any historical activity records. Because Boostr has no API, we coordinate with the customer's Boostr admin to plan the CSV extraction: which fields to include, which export order to follow, and how to handle multi-select or nested fields. We also identify active GAM and other OAuth integrations that require post-migration reconnection. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and an extraction checklist for the Boostr admin.
Extraction coordination and data validation
We run the Boostr CSV extraction in coordination with the customer's admin. Each export is validated against record counts reported by Boostr. We check for completeness: are all Advertisers present, do Orders link to the correct Advertisers and Campaigns, are custom property columns fully populated or sparse. Boostr's manual activity tracking means activity record volume is typically low; we validate whether activity migration is worth including based on actual record counts. We flag any export gaps before transformation begins so the admin can re-pull rather than discovering truncation mid-migration.
Schema design and mapping workbook
We design the destination Pipedrive schema: Organizations (from Boostr Advertisers), Deals (split into Proposal stage and Order stage by object type), custom fields for Campaign reference, inventory flattening fields or Products configuration, and Activity types. We build the field mapping workbook covering every Boostr field to its Pipedrive equivalent with type annotations and transformation notes. Pipedrive's custom field types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox) must match the source data; we flag mismatches here. This workbook is the source of truth for the entire migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's sales ops lead reconciles record counts (Organizations in, Deals in by stage, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the source CSV exports, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, field type adjustments, or stage-label changes happen in Sandbox, not production. We also validate Pipedrive API rate limit behavior during this phase and tune throttle settings.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order. Organizations (from Boostr Advertisers) import first and establish dedupe keys. Deals import second, with Proposal Deals in the draft pipeline stage and Order Deals in the booked pipeline stage, carrying Campaign reference as a custom field. Products (if using the Products strategy for inventory) import third. Activity records import last via Pipedrive API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Boostr GAM and OAuth integrations are documented separately for the customer's admin to reconfigure post-migration.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Boostr writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver a full reconciliation report comparing Pipedrive record counts to Boostr source counts with a discrepancy log for any records that could not migrate. We deliver the Boostr Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team with a recommendation for rebuild approach in Pipedrive Automations. We include the GAM reconnection checklist. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's sales team.
