Overview
ConvergeHub does not publish a documented REST API, which means every migration from it relies on CSV exports per module rather than automated extraction. We extract all available modules, clean the data for encoding issues and duplicate records, reconstruct the relationship chains between Accounts, Contacts, and Deals using foreign-key IDs embedded in the exports, and load into Pipedrive using its REST API with batch chunking and exponential backoff. Pipedrive's object model is simpler than ConvergeHub's — there are no native custom objects, and Cases, Invoices, and Quotations require custom field re-creation or file attachment strategies. Automation rules defined in ConvergeHub's Tools section have no export path; we document them during discovery for your admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's workflow builder. Pipedrive does not offer a native migration path from ConvergeHub, so Import2 and Pipedrive's own migration assistant cannot be used for this pair.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ConvergeHub 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.
ConvergeHub
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1ConvergeHub Leads map directly to Pipedrive Leads. We extract all Lead fields including status, source, assignment, and any custom fields, then map them to Pipedrive's Lead object. Lead ownership resolves by matching the ConvergeHub assigned-to email against Pipedrive User records. Note that Pipedrive's Lead object does not support all ConvergeHub Lead custom fields natively; any that cannot map directly are re-created as custom fields in Pipedrive before import.
ConvergeHub
Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1ConvergeHub Accounts (companies/organizations) map to Pipedrive Organizations. The Account name becomes Organization name, industry maps to Pipedrive's industry picklist, and address fields map directly. Organization ID is extracted from the CSV for use as a foreign key when importing Contacts and Deals that reference the Account. We run deduplication on Account names before import to avoid duplicate Organization records in Pipedrive.
ConvergeHub
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1ConvergeHub Contacts map to Pipedrive People. Each Contact's linked Account ID is preserved and resolved to the Pipedrive Organization ID created during the Account import phase. Contact roles, lifecycle stage, phone, email, and any custom Contact fields migrate as People custom fields. We match by email address as the dedupe key; any Contact without an email address is flagged for manual resolution before the final import phase.
ConvergeHub
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1ConvergeHub Deals map to Pipedrive Deals. The Deal's linked Account ID and Contact ID are resolved to their Pipedrive equivalents (Organization ID and Person ID) during the transform phase before inserting Deals. Stage name mapping is configurable since ConvergeHub pipeline stages may not share names with Pipedrive stages; we document the stage mapping table during scoping and apply it during import. Owner assignment resolves by email match to Pipedrive Users.
ConvergeHub
Deal Stage
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stage
lossyEach ConvergeHub pipeline maps to a Pipedrive Pipeline with corresponding stages. Stage probability percentages migrate from ConvergeHub to Pipedrive's stage probability field. We configure the Pipedrive pipeline layout and stage order during the schema design phase before any Deal records are imported. Pipedrive supports multiple pipelines at all paid tiers, so pipeline count is not gated by plan tier.
ConvergeHub
Case
Pipedrive
Custom Fields + Activities
lossyPipedrive does not have a native Case or Ticket object. ConvergeHub Cases (support tickets linked to Contacts and Accounts) are migrated as follows: Case subject and description migrate as a Note attached to the linked Person or Organization; Case status and priority are stored in custom fields on the Person; and the case reference number is stored in a custom field for traceability. This preserves the data without a native equivalent in Pipedrive. Cases with open status are flagged for your admin to review post-migration.
ConvergeHub
Invoice
Pipedrive
Custom Fields + Attachment
lossyPipedrive has no native Invoice or billing object. ConvergeHub Invoices with line items, totals, tax, and payment status are migrated by creating a Deal in Pipedrive that references the original invoice number in a custom field, invoice total in a currency custom field, payment status in a picklist custom field, and the original invoice PDF as a Deal attachment. Partial payments and payment gateway history cannot migrate as transactional records; we document the payment history for your admin to reference in the source export.
ConvergeHub
Product
Pipedrive
Product
1:1ConvergeHub Products (catalog items with SKU, unit price, and description) map to Pipedrive Products. Product name is the dedupe key. We create Pipedrive Product entries before importing any Deals that reference them, then link Deals to Products using Pipedrive's deal-product association API. Unit price from ConvergeHub maps to Pipedrive's price field.
ConvergeHub
Activity
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1ConvergeHub Activities (calls, tasks, events, logged emails) map to Pipedrive Activities with the activity type preserved. Each activity is linked to its parent record (Person, Organization, or Deal) using Pipedrive's API after resolving the source foreign keys to Pipedrive IDs. Timestamps, notes, and owner assignment transfer directly. Note that ConvergeHub's activity timeline depth may exceed what Pipedrive's native activity UI displays; we validate the most recent 12 months of activity first and expand scope based on the customer's requirements.
ConvergeHub
Document
Pipedrive
Note + Attachment
1:1ConvergeHub file attachments linked to records migrate as Pipedrive Notes with file attachments. We download the original file from ConvergeHub (where accessible via the UI), upload it to Pipedrive's file storage, and link it to the equivalent Person, Organization, or Deal record. File metadata including the original filename and upload date are preserved in a custom field on the Note for traceability. Large files are chunked during upload to avoid Pipedrive's attachment size limits.
ConvergeHub
Automation
Pipedrive
Workflow
1:1Automation rules defined in ConvergeHub's Tools section (triggers, criteria, and action sequences) cannot be exported via any documented path. We capture the active automation logic during discovery via screenshots and structured field notes, then deliver a written inventory document describing each automation's trigger event, conditions, actions, and recommended Pipedrive workflow equivalent. Your admin rebuilds the automations in Pipedrive's workflow builder post-migration. This documentation is included in the standard migration scope.
ConvergeHub
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
lossyCustom fields exist across most ConvergeHub modules (Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Deals, Events, Invoices, Leads, Products, Quotations, Targets, Tasks, and Users). We inventory every custom field during scoping, document its data type, required status, and picklist options, and re-create each one in Pipedrive before any data import begins. Pipedrive supports text, number, date, currency, checkbox, dropdown, and multi-select custom field types. Multi-select picklists from ConvergeHub map to Pipedrive multi-select fields. Any ConvergeHub custom field type that Pipedrive does not support is flagged during scoping for an alternative mapping strategy.
ConvergeHub
User
Pipedrive
User
1:1ConvergeHub User records (name, email, role, and ACL assignment) are extracted and matched by email against Pipedrive's User table. Owner assignment on Deals, Cases, and Activities resolves via this User lookup. Users without a matching Pipedrive account are placed in a reconciliation queue for your admin to provision before the final import phase. ConvergeHub role names map to Pipedrive's permission model during this phase.
ConvergeHub
Quotation
Pipedrive
Custom Fields + Note
lossyConvergeHub Quotations carry product line items, pricing, and terms linked to Deals. Pipedrive has no native quotation object. We migrate quotation data by adding quotation-specific custom fields to the associated Deal (quote number, quote date, valid-until date, terms) and attaching the original quotation document as a Deal attachment. Product line items from the quotation are preserved as a Note on the Deal listing each product and quantity.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the ConvergeHub account across all modules in scope — Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Deals, Cases, Invoices, Products, Activities, Documents, Custom Fields, Quotations, and Targets. We count records per module, inventory every custom field (data type, required status, picklist values), identify active automation rules via screenshots, and verify the account's export permissions. If the account is an AppSumo lifetime deal, we confirm storage and export limits at this stage. The discovery output is a written scope document with record counts, custom field inventory, and a ConvergeHub-to-Pipedrive object mapping table for customer sign-off before any data moves.
Pipedrive schema design
We design the destination Pipedrive configuration before any data is extracted. This includes creating all custom fields (matching ConvergeHub data types to Pipedrive field types), configuring Pipedrive pipelines and stages to match ConvergeHub's pipeline structure, setting probability percentages per stage, and creating any picklist option sets required for migrated custom fields. We create the Pipedrive pipeline layout during this phase so that Deal imports map to the correct stage values from the first record loaded.
CSV extraction and data cleaning
We extract CSV files from ConvergeHub per module via the web UI export function, working in stages for large datasets to avoid timeout errors. Each CSV is cleaned for encoding inconsistencies, whitespace normalization, and date format standardization. We run deduplication checks on Accounts (by name), Contacts (by email), and Deals (by name and Account), flagging duplicates for customer resolution before import. We reconstruct the relationship graph using foreign-key IDs embedded in the CSV exports so that Account-Contact-Deal chains are preserved when each module is loaded into Pipedrive.
Sandbox validation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive sandbox account using the extracted and cleaned data. The customer reconciles record counts per module, spot-checks 20-30 records against the ConvergeHub source for field-level accuracy, and validates that relationship chains render correctly in Pipedrive (e.g., People linked to Organizations, Deals linked to the correct People and Organizations). Any mapping corrections, custom field additions, or stage configuration adjustments happen in the sandbox before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We load data into the production Pipedrive account in dependency order: Pipedrive Users (validated against source User emails), Organizations (from ConvergeHub Accounts), People (from ConvergeHub Contacts with Organization ID resolved), Deals (with Organization ID and Person ID resolved), Products, Activities, Notes with attachments, and Custom Fields. User owners resolve by email match throughout. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Pipedrive's API rate limits are respected with exponential backoff and batch chunking.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze ConvergeHub writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document describing each ConvergeHub automation rule and its recommended Pipedrive workflow equivalent. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuilds, sequence setup, and Pipedrive workflow automation are not included in the migration scope; these require a separate engagement or admin rebuild.
