Overview
Comet Suite organizes data around field workers, locations, and attendance records — a model that differs substantially from Pipedrive's deal-centric CRM architecture. When migrating from Comet Suite to Pipedrive, the primary challenge is translating service-management entities into sales-native objects without losing the contextual history your team relies on. We map Comet Suite's Person records to Pipedrive People, Companies to Organizations, and service-related data to a combination of Deals and custom fields. Attendance logs and location-tracking data that have no native Pipedrive equivalent are preserved as structured custom fields and activity notes. Owner resolution maps Comet Suite user assignments to Pipedrive users by email match before records land. We run the migration via Pipedrive's REST API with rate-limit-aware batching, execute a sample diff against a representative record slice, and close with a 24-48 hour delta-pickup window to capture any in-flight changes during the cutover. Workflows, attendance rules, and location-based automations do not migrate — we export their definitions for your Pipedrive admin to rebuild in Automations or Workflows.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Comet Suite 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.
Comet Suite
Person / Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Comet Suite person records map directly to Pipedrive People. Name, email, phone, and address fields translate field-for-field. The Comet Suite person record's owner assignment resolves to a Pipedrive user by email match before the record inserts. If the email address does not match any Pipedrive user, the record is flagged for manual owner assignment during the post-migration review.
Comet Suite
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Comet Suite company records map to Pipedrive Organizations. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count map to the equivalent Organization fields. Multi-location companies in Comet Suite collapse to a single Organization with location data preserved in custom fields. All location-specific addresses are stored in custom text fields on the Organization, enabling your team to reference site details without creating separate Organization records.
Comet Suite
Location / Site
Pipedrive
Organization custom fields + Address
1:1Comet Suite locations associated with a company become structured custom fields on the target Organization (Site_Name__c, Site_Address__c) rather than separate objects. If Pipedrive's Organization has multiple addresses, the primary address maps to the main address field. Secondary addresses are added to the Organization's addresses array, preserving the full location hierarchy for reporting and routing purposes.
Comet Suite
Attendance Log / Time Record
Pipedrive
Activity (Task)
1:1Comet Suite attendance logs have no native Pipedrive equivalent. We transform each log into a Task with Type='Attendance' and the original timestamp preserved in the Task's due_date field. The task subject carries the location name so the record is searchable in Pipedrive.
Comet Suite
Field Worker / Staff Record
Pipedrive
Person + User reference
1:1Field worker records that include client-facing information (name, email, phone) map to Pipedrive People. The worker's Comet Suite user account resolves to a Pipedrive user by email for owner assignment — if no Pipedrive user exists, the record is assigned to a migration fallback owner and flagged.
Comet Suite
Service Record / Job
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Comet Suite service records or job tickets that track service outcomes map to Pipedrive Deals. The Deal name derives from the service record title; the Deal value maps from the service fee or billing amount field. Pipeline and stage are set per your Pipedrive pipeline configuration.
Comet Suite
Service Record Status / Stage
Pipedrive
Deal Stage (Pipeline Stage)
1:1Comet Suite service statuses (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) map value-by-value to your Pipedrive pipeline stages. We deliver a stage-mapping table before migration so your admin confirms the routing before records land. The mapping also includes any custom statuses you have defined, ensuring every service state translates to the appropriate Pipedrive stage with no orphaned records.
Comet Suite
Custom Properties (person-level)
Pipedrive
Person custom fields
1:1Comet Suite custom properties on person records (e.g., certification_type, shift_preference) require Pipedrive custom fields to be created via the /personFields API endpoint before migration. Custom field keys are Pipedrive-assigned hashes — we create the field definitions in Pipedrive first, then map values during the load.
Comet Suite
Custom Properties (company-level)
Pipedrive
Organization custom fields
1:1Comet Suite custom properties on company records (e.g., service_tier, account_manager) map to Pipedrive Organization custom fields created via /organizationFields. We generate the field creation plan from the Comet Suite property list and apply it before the data load. Each custom field's data type (text, number, date, picklist) is matched to the corresponding Pipedrive field type, ensuring values load without type‑conversion errors.
Comet Suite
Attachment / Document
Pipedrive
Activity Note or external URL reference
1:1Comet Suite file attachments associated with service records or people do not migrate as native Pipedrive Files. We download each attachment, re-upload to Pipedrive's document storage, and attach it to the relevant Person or Deal record, flagging any files that exceed Pipedrive's size limits.
Comet Suite
User / Owner
Pipedrive
Pipedrive User
1:1Comet Suite user accounts are matched to Pipedrive users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged in the pre-migration audit — your team either creates the Pipedrive user first or assigns those records to a designated fallback owner. If a fallback owner is used, we record the original Comet Suite user ID in a custom field so you can reconcile ownership after your Pipedrive user list is complete.

Migration approach
Pre-migration audit and owner resolution
We export a full inventory of Comet Suite objects (People, Companies, Service Records, Attendance Logs, Custom Properties) and profile data quality — duplicate detection, missing required fields, and owner-to-email mapping. We generate a Pipedrive user lookup table, flag any Comet Suite owners without a corresponding Pipedrive account, and deliver a re-assignment plan before the migration begins. We also enumerate all custom property names and map them to the Pipedrive custom field creation plan.
Create Pipedrive custom fields and pipeline structure
Before data lands, we create all required Pipedrive custom fields via the /personFields, /organizationFields, and /dealFields API endpoints. We retrieve the Pipedrive-assigned hash keys for each field and lock the mapping table so the subsequent data load uses the correct keys. If your Pipedrive account uses multiple pipelines or stages, we align the Comet Suite service statuses to your stage definitions per the value-mapping table delivered in step one.
Load Organizations and People first
We sequence the migration with Organizations and People first — Organizations because Pipedrive Deals require an org_id foreign key, and People because the person_id link on Deals must resolve to an existing record. For multi-location companies, we apply the location-splitting logic defined in the pre-migration audit. Each Person record receives its original create_time timestamp, and the Comet Suite internal ID is stored for delta-run deduplication.
Load Deals and Activities with field-level diff
With Organizations and People in place, we load Deals linked to their respective org_id and person_id references. Attendance logs transform into Tasks with Type='Attendance' and attach to the relevant Person. We run a field-level diff on a 100–500 record sample slice — comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field — so you can verify mapping correctness before the full run commits. The diff report highlights any null values, mismatched pick-list values, and unresolved owner IDs.
Delta pickup window and audit log
After the full load completes, we open a delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — to capture any records created or modified in Comet Suite during the cutover period. Your team keeps working in Comet Suite throughout. We apply a final delta load, update the audit log with all operations performed, and deliver a reconciliation summary showing record counts, error counts, and any records that failed to load with their error reasons. One-click rollback is available if the reconciliation summary shows critical data discrepancies.
