Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from CompanyHub CRM to Pipedrive is a migration from an SMB-native platform with heavy customization tooling to a mature, sales-focused CRM with a streamlined pipeline interface. CompanyHub stores domain-specific data in Custom Tables that have no direct Pipedrive equivalent; we pre-provision custom fields in Pipedrive and document each Custom Table for the customer's admin to restructure as a linked object or note-based record. UTrons workflow logic (CompanyHub's flowchart automation engine) does not export via API and must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's workflow builder; we deliver a written rebuild specification as part of the migration handoff. We sequence the migration by Companies and Contacts first, then Deals and pipeline stages, then activity history, preserving all cross-object relationships and custom field values. Email activity bodies may be truncated in the CompanyHub v1 API response; we flag this gap during scoping and offer to supplement with an IMAP export if the customer's email platform supports it.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

CompanyHub CRM logo

CompanyHub CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • No built-in calling or SMS means sales teams requiring phone workflows must purchase and integrate a separate telephony stack.
  • Custom tables and UTrons automations do not export cleanly—teams with heavy custom data models face significant re-implementation effort when leaving.
  • Reporting provides only surface-level visualizations and lacks weighted deal values, pipeline velocity, or activity-based conversion metrics.
  • Goals and targets tracking is buried in the interface and not surfaced prominently enough for sales managers running weekly reviews.
  • The product is unable to be uninstalled from integrations once connected, creating lock-in friction for teams evaluating a switch.

Choosing

Pipedrive

What's pulling them in

  • Clean drag-and-drop pipeline interface with minimal learning curve, making it approachable for small sales teams without dedicated CRM admins.
  • Visual deal tracking keeps reps focused on next actions — activities, calls, and follow-up tasks surface directly in the pipeline view.
  • Strong integrations via Zapier and native marketplace apps let teams wire Pipedrive into Calendly, ActiveCampaign, and similar sales-stack tools.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android keep field reps connected to deals, contacts, and tasks without a desktop session.
  • Reputation and review volume — over 3,000 verified reviews across G2 and Capterra — signal reliability for teams evaluating CRM options.

Object mapping

How CompanyHub CRM objects map to Pipedrive

Each row shows how a CompanyHub CRM 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.

CompanyHub CRM

Contact

maps to

Pipedrive

Person

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Contacts map directly to Pipedrive People. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate as typed fields. All custom fields on the Contact record pre-provision in Pipedrive before import. Email is the dedupe key for preventing duplicate Person records. The CompanyHub contact owner maps to Pipedrive's owner_id by email match. If a CompanyHub Contact has an associated Company record, we create the Organization in Pipedrive first and link the Person to it via the org_id field.

CompanyHub CRM

Company

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Companies map to Pipedrive Organizations. The CompanyHub company domain becomes the Organization's Website field and serves as a secondary dedupe key alongside name. We create all Organizations before Contact import so that the org_id lookup is satisfied at the moment of Person insert. Address, industry, and custom field data migrate to the equivalent Pipedrive Organization fields.

CompanyHub CRM

Deal

maps to

Pipedrive

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Deals map to Pipedrive Deals. The CompanyHub dealstage property maps to Pipedrive stage_id within a configured pipeline. We capture the deal owner, value, expected close date, and associated Company (mapped to the Organization) and Contact (mapped to the Person) during import. Any deal-specific custom fields are pre-provisioned in Pipedrive before migration.

CompanyHub CRM

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Pipedrive

Pipeline Stage

lossy
Fully supported

CompanyHub's customizable pipeline stage names and order are captured during discovery and provisioned in Pipedrive as a new Pipeline with ordered stages. Stage probabilities migrate from CompanyHub to Pipedrive stage probability values. If CompanyHub has multiple deal pipelines, each maps to a separate Pipedrive Pipeline with its own stage set and Record Type (if applicable).

CompanyHub CRM

Task

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Tasks map to Pipedrive Activities (type = task). Due date, assigned owner, linked Contact, and linked Deal migrate. Task status (open, completed) maps to Pipedrive's done flag. Tasks auto-generated by UTrons are flagged in the migration with a note that they were automation-created, since the underlying automation does not migrate.

CompanyHub CRM

Custom Field (on Contacts, Companies, Deals)

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

CompanyHub unlimited custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals pre-provision in Pipedrive before data import. We capture field type (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, currency) during discovery and create the matching Pipedrive field. Picklist options migrate as Pipedrive drop-down options. Field labels and help text are preserved in the Pipedrive field configuration.

CompanyHub CRM

Custom Table

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Fields or Note-based record

lossy
Fully supported

CompanyHub Custom Tables (Payments, Properties, Courses, and similar domain objects) have no direct Pipedrive equivalent. Pipedrive supports custom fields on People, Organizations, and Deals but not standalone custom object types. We document each Custom Table's schema during discovery and propose a migration strategy: (a) if the table is a domain extension of an existing object (e.g., a Payment linked to a Deal), the row data becomes custom fields or linked notes on that parent record; (b) if the table is a standalone entity, it is documented for the customer to rebuild as a linked object in a separate system or as a structured note attachment in Pipedrive. We do not delete Custom Table data; we deliver it in a structured CSV alongside the Pipedrive import for manual re-entry or future automation.

CompanyHub CRM

Quote

maps to

Pipedrive

Smart Docs

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Quotes map to Pipedrive Smart Docs (PDF document automation). Quote line items, totals, and template references migrate as Smart Doc templates in Pipedrive. If the customer is on Pipedrive's Advanced or Professional tier (which includes Smart Docs), the templates are created during migration; on the Essential tier, quote data migrates as Deal fields with a note recommending Smart Docs activation if quoting workflows are needed.

CompanyHub CRM

Owner/User

maps to

Pipedrive

User

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub users (owners) map to Pipedrive Users. We resolve by email match. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active/inactive status and role-based visibility settings are preserved in Pipedrive's user permissions.

CompanyHub CRM

Activity: Email

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type = email)

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub email activity logs migrate to Pipedrive Activity records with type = email. Subject, timestamp, recipient, and open status transfer. Full email body text is not guaranteed due to CompanyHub API response truncation; we flag body-less emails during migration and offer to supplement with an IMAP export if the customer has email data available. Each activity is linked to the associated Person and Organization via Pipedrive's person_id and org_id fields.

CompanyHub CRM

Activity: Note

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type = note)

1:1
Fully supported

CompanyHub Notes migrate to Pipedrive Activity records with type = note. Note body, timestamp, and associated Contact and Deal linkages migrate. Rich text formatting is preserved where the CompanyHub API returns it. Notes attached to Companies link to the corresponding Pipedrive Organization.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pipedrive has no custom objects, only custom fields

    Pipedrive does not support standalone custom object types. CompanyHub's Custom Tables (Payments, Properties, Courses, and domain-specific rows) have no direct equivalent in Pipedrive. We document each Custom Table during discovery, deliver the data as a structured CSV alongside the migration, and propose a per-table strategy: extension fields on the parent record, linked notes, or manual re-entry. Teams relying heavily on Custom Tables for core business objects (e.g., a Property management CRM built on CompanyHub Custom Tables) will need to redesign their data model in Pipedrive, which is a planning effort outside the data migration scope.

  • UTrons workflow logic does not survive migration

    CompanyHub's UTrons automation engine encodes workflow logic as flowchart nodes with no API export endpoint. All automations including task creation on deal stage change, duplicate disallowance, scheduled alerts, and bulk actions must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's workflow automation builder (available on Advanced and Professional tiers). We document each Utron during discovery with its trigger, conditions, and actions, and deliver a rebuild specification that maps Utron logic to Pipedrive workflow steps. The customer's admin rebuilds the automations post-migration.

  • CompanyHub admin-only export gate

    CompanyHub restricts data exports to admin users from the product UI. We work around this by using the API directly with an admin API key, but we confirm with the customer that the key holder has full organizational data visibility before initiating the export. This prevents partial export scopes where restricted records are silently omitted. Non-admin account holders cannot scope their own migration without admin coordination.

  • Custom Table schema is not self-describing in the API

    CompanyHub Custom Tables have dynamic, user-defined schemas. The API returns row data but does not expose the table field definitions programmatically in all cases. We request customers to provide screenshots or documentation of their Custom Table field layouts during discovery. We then provision matching structures in Pipedrive (or the documented alternative) before importing row data, reducing the risk of misplaced column mappings.

  • Email body content may be truncated in CompanyHub API responses

    Email activity logs returned by the CompanyHub v1 API may include metadata (timestamp, recipient, open status) without full message body text. We inform customers before migration scoping that full email content migration depends on the API response payload. If body text is missing, we flag the gap and offer to supplement with an IMAP or email platform export if available. This affects the richness of email timeline entries in Pipedrive but does not affect contact or deal record migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful CompanyHub CRM to Pipedrive data migration

  1. Discovery and data audit

    We audit the source CompanyHub account across all objects: Contacts, Companies, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Tasks, Custom Fields (on each object), Custom Tables (count, schema, row counts), Quotes, Users, and Activity logs. We capture the full pipeline stage list, custom field definitions (name, type, options), and Custom Table schemas via customer-provided documentation. We also document active UTrons automations. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a custom field mapping workbook, and a Custom Table disposition plan.

  2. Schema provisioning in Pipedrive

    We create all Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages before any data import. We pre-provision custom fields on People, Organizations, and Deals to match CompanyHub field definitions (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, currency). We create Pipedrive Users for each CompanyHub Owner resolved by email. Pipedrive's Smart Docs templates are set up if the customer is on a quoting tier. We deploy schema elements via the Pipedrive REST API, validating that field types are correct before data load begins.

  3. Custom Table disposition planning

    We present the Custom Table disposition plan to the customer's admin before migration. For each Custom Table, we recommend a specific strategy: (a) extension fields on the linked Contact, Company, or Deal record; (b) structured notes attached to the parent record; (c) a separate CSV deliverable for manual re-entry; or (d) a post-migration automation (via Zapier or Make) to create linked records in a third-party system. The admin selects the strategy per table, and we execute the agreed approach during migration.

  4. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Pipedrive staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (People, Organizations, Deals, Activities), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the CompanyHub source, and validates Custom Table data delivery. Any mapping corrections, field type mismatches, or missing values are addressed here before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from CompanyHub Companies), People (with org_id linked), Deals (with person_id and org_id resolved), Activities (Tasks, Emails, Notes via Pipedrive API with pagination), and Custom Field data populated on each record. Custom Table data is delivered as the agreed disposition (fields or notes) in the same phase. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use exponential backoff on 429 rate limit responses from Pipedrive's API.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Utron rebuild handoff

    We freeze CompanyHub 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 the Utron inventory document with rebuild specifications for Pipedrive's workflow builder. We do not rebuild Utrons as Pipedrive workflows inside the migration scope; that is the customer's admin task. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team.

Strengths

  • Per-user pricing capped at $42/month makes it the most affordable option among feature-rich SMB CRMs.
  • Drag-and-drop pipeline and task follow-up reminders keep low-touch sales teams from losing deals.
  • UTrons workflow engine uses a flowchart interface to automate any business logic without code.
  • Field-level and record-level security controls allow granular visibility settings across roles and territories.
  • Custom Tables and Custom Apps extend the data model to verticals beyond standard sales (real estate, education, services).

Weaknesses

  • No native calling, SMS, or voice features—phone-centric sales teams need third-party integrations.
  • API is limited to v1 with no public rate limit documentation and a maximum of 5 API keys per account.
  • Only admin users can export data from the product UI, which complicates migration scoping for non-admin account holders.
  • Custom Table migrations require pre-provisioning the destination schema, adding a planning step not needed for standard objects.
  • Activity logs and email bodies may be truncated in API responses, limiting the fidelity of historical communication data migration.

Strengths

  • Intuitive drag-and-drop pipeline that sales reps actually use without resistance or training overhead.
  • Per-seat unlimited-deals model on all tiers — reps cannot be blocked from logging activity.
  • Active marketplace with 400+ integrations and a documented REST API with OpenAPI 3 specs.
  • Mobile apps with offline access, call logging, and calendar sync keep field teams operational.
  • Strong focus on sales activity tracking — next-action reminders and follow-up scheduling are first-class features.

Weaknesses

  • No custom objects — teams needing non-standard data structures must work around the four standard entity types.
  • Workflow automation limits by tier (30, 60, 90 active workflows) force upgrades as processes grow.
  • No free permanent plan — teams evaluating fit must commit to a trial without a freemium option.
  • Limited advanced reporting and custom dashboard capabilities compared to HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Export permissions are gated by visibility groups, meaning data scoping must account for who can see what before migration.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with standard fields and no Custom Tables. Migrations with multiple Custom Tables, moderate engagement histories (50,000-100,000 activity records), or Custom Table disposition planning requirements move to six to ten weeks because of schema design time, per-table mapping work, and parent-record resolution. Complex Custom Table migrations with domain objects requiring redesign (e.g., a real estate CRM with a Properties table as a core entity) may require a separate planning engagement before migration begins.
