Overview
Moving from Composity CRM to Pipedrive is a migration from an all-in-one ERP/CRM with a unified Account object to a sales-focused CRM with distinct People and Organizations structures. Composity stores Accounts as the central CRM object linked to Contacts; Pipedrive separates these into Organization (company-level) and Person (individual contact) records, requiring a schema split during migration design. Composity has no publicly documented API, so all record extraction relies on its built-in CSV export functionality and manual file downloads, which constrains speed and requires a manual extraction checklist built during discovery. We map Composity Leads to Pipedrive Leads, Opportunities to Deals, Invoices to Pipedrive's activity-linked notes, and Products to Pipedrive Products with Standard Price Book entries. Composity's Production module and Projects module have no direct Pipedrive equivalent; we map these to custom fields on Deals or deliver a written schema design for Pipedrive's custom Objects feature. Workflows, sequences, and Composity automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Composity 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.
Composity CRM
Account
Pipedrive
Organization and Person (split required)
1:manyComposity's single Account object stores both company-level data (address, industry, website) and individual contact data (contact name, email, phone). We split this into Pipedrive Organization (company fields) and Person (individual fields) during migration. The original Account ID is preserved in a custom field on the Organization for relationship audit. Any Person record gets a lookup to its parent Organization using domain-based matching on the Account's website field.
Composity CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Composity Contacts link to Accounts and include name, email, phone, and role. We migrate Contacts as Pipedrive Person records with the role or title stored in a custom field if Pipedrive's built-in label fields are insufficient. The Person-Organization link is resolved using the domain-matching logic from the Account split above.
Composity CRM
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1Composity Leads from the Campaign & Lead Management module map directly to Pipedrive Leads. Lead status, source, and qualification data from Composity map to Pipedrive Lead title, owner, and label fields. Pipedrive's Lead object shares the same custom field schema as Deals, so any Composity custom fields on Leads are created as matching Pipedrive custom fields before migration.
Composity CRM
Opportunity
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Composity Opportunities (deals) map to Pipedrive Deals. Deal name, value, expected close date, and owner migrate directly. The stage mapping is custom per organization because Composity allows free-form stage names; we extract the full Composity stage definition during discovery and configure matching Pipedrive pipeline stages before migration begins.
Composity CRM
Pipeline Stages
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stages
lossyComposity pipeline stages are user-defined per tenant with custom names, order, and win/loss flags. We export the full stage definition and recreate it in Pipedrive's pipeline builder before Deal migration. Stage probability weights map from Composity to Pipedrive's probability field per stage. Multiple Composity pipelines map to multiple Pipedrive pipelines (Growth and above).
Composity CRM
Invoice
Pipedrive
Deal with custom fields or Note attachment
lossyComposity Invoices from the Sales module include line items, tax codes, payment status, and totals. We map invoice header data (invoice number, date, total, balance due) to custom fields on the associated Pipedrive Deal. Partially paid invoices require balance carry-forward handling documented in the reconciliation report. Full invoice PDFs are attached as Deal files. Pipedrive does not have a native invoice object in its core CRM; we flag this gap explicitly and the customer decides whether to use Pipedrive's invoicing add-on post-migration.
Composity CRM
Product
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Composity Product catalog entries (name, SKU, price, description) map to Pipedrive Products. Standard Price Book entries are created in Pipedrive during migration. Custom pricing rules in Composity's product schema are mapped to Pipedrive's product pricing fields or stored as custom fields. Product-to-quote and product-to-invoice associations are preserved as deal-product links.
Composity CRM
Projects
Pipedrive
Custom fields on Deal or Pipedrive Projects
lossyComposity Projects (Growth and above) store project name, status, dates, and assigned resources. Pipedrive does not have a native project management object in core CRM. We map project metadata to custom fields on the related Deal, or if the customer uses Pipedrive's Projects feature (Growth and above), we map to Pipedrive Projects with the project status and dates preserved. Milestone definitions require explicit mapping at scoping and may become deal activity checklists.
Composity CRM
Production Orders
Pipedrive
Custom fields on Deal or Deal-linked custom Object
lossyComposity's Production module stores manufacturing or job data with BOM references and production order records. Pipedrive has no native production object. We extract production records with BOM references during discovery, then map them to custom fields on the associated Deal or to a Pipedrive custom Object if the customer licenses the required Pipedrive plan. This requires explicit schema design during scoping and is not a standard field-to-field migration.
Composity CRM
Inventory Items
Pipedrive
Product with custom fields
1:1Composity Inventory records (SKU, quantity, warehouse location, reorder level) map to Pipedrive Products with custom fields carrying inventory-specific data. Quantity discrepancies or negative stock present at migration time are flagged in a pre-migration reconciliation report. Pipedrive's core product model does not include real-time inventory tracking; if the customer requires inventory management post-migration, we recommend a dedicated inventory tool or Pipedrive's integrations with platforms like Sortly or DEAR Systems.
Composity CRM
Document
Pipedrive
Deal/Person/Organization Attachment
1:1Composity documents export as individual files with no bulk download. We build a file inventory during discovery, identify each document's parent record by filename pattern or metadata, and reattach files to the corresponding Pipedrive record (Deal, Person, or Organization) using the import batch. File upload is done via Pipedrive's file attachment API. Documents with no identifiable parent record are attached to the primary Account record as a catch-all and flagged in the reconciliation report.
Composity CRM
Activity (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Composity activity tracking (calls, emails, meetings, notes) logged against Contacts and Accounts maps to Pipedrive Activities. Activity type, date, description, and linked record migrate. Email content migrates as a note attached to the Person or Deal. Meeting and call details migrate as completed activities with type, duration, and description preserved. Pipedrive's Activity object does not support the same rich interaction metadata as some CRMs; we map what exists and flag any truncated fields in the reconciliation report.
Composity CRM
Custom Fields (Custom Data module)
Pipedrive
Custom Fields
lossyComposity custom fields defined in the Custom Data module apply to any object and are discovered by reverse-engineering the field schema during scoping. We generate a custom field mapping table per object, create matching Pipedrive custom fields (with type mapping: text, number, date, checkbox, dropdown) before migration begins, and migrate values as part of the standard record import. Custom field configuration in Pipedrive can be done inline during the import mapping step per Pipedrive's knowledge base.
Composity CRM
User
Pipedrive
User
1:1Composity users with login credentials, roles, and permissions are exported and matched to Pipedrive User records by email address. Owner assignments on Contacts, Accounts, and Deals are preserved as user references. Users without a matching Pipedrive account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Migration approach
Discovery and module audit
We audit the source Composity tenant across active modules (CRM, Production, Projects, Accounting), record counts per object, custom field definitions from the Custom Data module, and pipeline stage definitions. We build a manual extraction checklist listing every Composity export available and a file-by-file document inventory. We pair this with a Pipedrive plan check (Lite through Ultimate) based on the migration scope, custom field requirements, and whether multi-pipeline or custom Objects are needed.
Schema design and Account split rule
We design the destination Pipedrive schema: Organizations and Persons from Composity Accounts, Leads, Deals with pipeline stages configured to match Composity's stage definitions, custom fields created for all Composity custom properties, Products and Price Book entries, and custom field placeholders for any Production or Projects metadata that requires Pipedrive custom Object design. We define the Account-to-Organization-Person split rule (domain matching on website field) and validate it in a test mapping run before production migration.
Deduplication and data quality pass
Composity's single-Account model produces duplicate company data when Accounts contain both organization and individual fields. We run deduplication on Account records before splitting: matching by domain name (website field), by company name, and by email domain on linked Contact records. We flag duplicate Accounts, duplicate Persons, and duplicate Deals in a pre-migration report for the customer's review. Email verification runs on all Contact email addresses to flag bounced or invalid addresses before Pipedrive import.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Composity Owner referenced on Accounts, Contacts, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the Pipedrive destination User table. Any Composity Owner without a matching Pipedrive User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Pipedrive admin provisions missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Composity user is still employed) before record import begins. OwnerId references are required on most Pipedrive objects, so this step gates the start of production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Organizations (from Composity Accounts, with split applied), Persons (with OrganizationId resolved), Leads, Deals (with OrganizationId, OwnerId, and stage resolved), Products and Price Book entries, Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes via Pipedrive API with batch chunking), Documents (individually reattached to parent records), Custom fields populated per object. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Composity's manual export constraint means we load Pipedrive via the Pipedrive REST API or CSV import wizard depending on batch size.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Composity writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Composity workflows, alerts, and automations that require rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder. Production module and Projects module records are handed off as a schema design document rather than a live migration because Pipedrive lacks native equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
