Overview
Teams migrate from CASH to Pipedrive when they need a sales-centric CRM built around visual pipeline management, straightforward per-seat pricing, and native activity tracking that smaller sales teams adopt without dedicated admin support. The migration carries everything CASH stores natively — contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields — into Pipedrive's separate Person and Organization data model. Pipedrive stores people and organizations as distinct objects, which changes how contact-to-company relationships resolve. Lifecycle stage and custom properties without Pipedrive equivalents become custom fields on the Person object, preserving the source data for reporting. Pipedrive's automation limits are plan-gated — Advanced caps at 30 active automations, Professional at 60, and Power at 90. We map all standard objects with original timestamps and owner assignments intact. Workflows, sequences, email templates, and marketing automation logic do not migrate — those require rebuilds in Pipedrive's automation tools using a FlitStack export as the rebuild reference.
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 CASH 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.
CASH
Contact / Person
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Direct map. CASH contacts migrate as Pipedrive Person records. Email, phone, name, address, and job title map directly. Pipedrive Person records store all contact-level data. The Person record ID is used as the parent reference for activities and deal associations.
CASH
Company / Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Direct map. CASH companies migrate as Pipedrive Organization records. Name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to Organization fields. Pipedrive Organization supports parent-child hierarchy via the Parent Organization ID field, mirroring CASH parent-company relationships. If CASH companies have no parent relationship defined, they are created as standalone Organizations in Pipedrive with no parent organization assigned.
CASH
Company name on Contact
Pipedrive
Organization (linked via org_id)
1:1CASH stores company as a property on the contact record. Pipedrive requires an Organization record to exist first, then links the Person to it via org_id. We resolve the organization by name match or domain match — contacts without a matching Organization are created as standalone Persons with a flag set for manual organization assignment.
CASH
Deal / Opportunity
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Direct map. CASH deals migrate as Pipedrive Deals with name, value, stage, and close date preserved. Pipedrive Deal records are linked to one Pipeline and one Person (primary contact). Multiple contacts on a deal use Pipedrive's contact-role association after migration.
CASH
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
1:1Direct map. CASH pipelines map 1:1 to Pipedrive Pipelines. Each CASH pipeline stage value maps to a corresponding Pipedrive stage within that pipeline. Stage order and probability values are preserved as Pipedrive stage configuration parameters. If CASH stage names differ from Pipedrive stage names, we use a value-mapping table to ensure correct stage assignment during migration.
CASH
Lifecycle Stage
Pipedrive
Custom field on Person
1:1Pipedrive has no native lifecycle stage field. We create a custom pick-list field on the Person object named Lifecycle_Stage__c using Pipedrive's custom field creation API. CASH lifecycle stage values map directly to the pick-list options. Original stage-change timestamps are preserved in a secondary custom datetime field.
CASH
Activity / Engagement
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1CASH activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates as Pipedrive Activities. Activity type determines the Pipedrive Activity type field. Original timestamps, owners, and content (subject, body, duration) are preserved. Each Activity is linked to its parent Person, Organization, or Deal.
CASH
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead (Pipedrive Leads inbox)
1:1CASH leads migrate to Pipedrive's dedicated Leads inbox. Leads retain their status, source, and owner. Pipedrive Leads are separate from the Person/Deal flow — they can be converted to Person + Deal records at any time. We migrate lead data and preserve the original lead ID for traceability.
CASH
Custom Field (generic)
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1All CASH custom fields are created in Pipedrive before migration runs using Pipedrive's field creation endpoints. Pipedrive assigns a per-account hash key to each field. The migration mapping references these hash keys explicitly. Custom field data types (text, number, pick-list, date, address) are preserved exactly — pick-list values map value-by-value.
CASH
Product / Product Catalog
Pipedrive
Product
1:1CASH products migrate as Pipedrive Products with name, code, unit price, and description. Product variants map to Pipedrive product variations. Products are then linked to Deals via the deal-product association, preserving quantity and pricing data from the source. If CASH products have no pricing defined, they are created with a zero unit price in Pipedrive and flagged for manual pricing assignment.
CASH
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
File attachment via Activity or Note
1:1CASH file attachments on contacts, companies, and deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive. Files attach to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record. Pipedrive's file size limits apply — files exceeding the limit are flagged before migration so you can choose to skip or compress.
CASH
Owner / User
Pipedrive
User
1:1CASH owner records resolve to Pipedrive Users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — you either invite them to Pipedrive first or assign their records to a fallback user. No record lands without a Pipedrive owner assignment.

Migration approach
Prepare Pipedrive schema before data moves
Before migration begins, we audit CASH's object and property inventory and create the corresponding Pipedrive objects, pipelines, stages, and custom fields. Pipedrive's custom field hash keys are generated at creation time — we capture these keys and use them in the migration mapping so field assignments resolve correctly. If CASH uses custom objects, we assess whether to map them as custom fields on Person/Deal or as separate linked records, and we deliver a schema setup plan you can execute or have FlitStack execute on your behalf. Pipedrive must be provisioned with the correct plan tier before custom fields can be created at the required field-count level.
Resolve CASH owners and users against Pipedrive users
CASH owner records are matched to Pipedrive Users by email address. We generate a pre-migration owner resolution report listing every CASH owner, their matched Pipedrive user (or lack of one), and the record count affected. For unmatched owners, you decide whether to invite them to Pipedrive before migration or assign their records to a fallback Pipedrive user. No record is written without a valid Pipedrive owner assignment — the report gives you the information needed to make that call before migration runs.
Sequence the data migration for referential integrity
Pipedrive requires Organizations to exist before Persons (for org_id linkage), and Persons before Deals (for deal-person associations). We sequence the migration in dependency order: Organizations first, then Persons with org_id linkage, then Deals with Person linkage, then Activities with their parent record references. This ordering prevents orphaned relationships in Pipedrive. Pipedrive's API rate limits are respected throughout — we use exponential backoff and chunked writes to stay within Pipedrive's throughput limits during the migration run.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
We run a representative sample migration — typically 100–500 records spanning Persons, Organizations, Deals, and Activities — and generate a field-level diff showing every source field, its mapped Pipedrive value, and any fields that did not map cleanly. The diff lets you verify lifecycle stage mapping, organization linking, stage-to-pipeline mapping, and owner resolution before the full run. You review the diff, we address any issues in the mapping, and then the full migration commits. This sample-first approach catches mapping errors before they affect your entire dataset.
Cut over with delta pickup and rollback option
The full migration runs against your live Pipedrive instance. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in CASH during the cutover period so Pipedrive reflects CASH's final state at go-live. Your team continues working in CASH throughout the window — we use scoped read access only, so there is no disruption to CASH operations. An audit log records every operation during migration. If reconciliation reveals missing records or unexpected data shape issues, a one-click rollback reverts Pipedrive to its pre-migration state so you can address the mapping and re-run without data loss.
