Overview
Moving from DinamikCRM to Pipedrive is a schema-translation migration. DinamikCRM's 40-plus module system lets each account define its own record types, fields, and relationships, so no two accounts share the same schema. Pipedrive uses a fixed set of standard objects (People, Organizations, Deals, Leads, Activities) with custom fields as the only extensibility mechanism. We run a module-enumeration discovery phase before any data extraction, export every active module's records, and map custom module data to Pipedrive custom fields or structured notes depending on the field cardinality. Pipelines, stages, owners, and engagement history transfer directly. Workflows, automation rules, and module-level conditional logic are application-layer constructs that do not export via API and require rebuild in Pipedrive after migration.
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 DinamikCRM 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.
DinamikCRM
Contacts
Pipedrive
People
1:1DinamikCRM Contact records map directly to Pipedrive People. Name, email, phone, address, and custom fields transfer as typed People fields. Email serves as the dedupe key during import. The DinamikCRM contact-company link resolves to a Pipedrive Organization lookup that we create first so the relationship is satisfied at import time.
DinamikCRM
Companies
Pipedrive
Organizations
1:1DinamikCRM Company records map to Pipedrive Organizations. Company name, industry, address, and domain fields map directly. Organization is created before People import to ensure the org_id foreign key resolves without orphaning any contact-company relationships.
DinamikCRM
Leads
Pipedrive
Leads
1:1DinamikCRM Lead records map to Pipedrive Leads using the same field names where possible. Lead status and source fields map to Pipedrive's Lead status dropdown. Any DinamikCRM lead-to-contact conversion history is preserved as a custom field for audit.
DinamikCRM
Deals
Pipedrive
Deals
1:1DinamikCRM Deal records map to Pipedrive Deals with value, stage, owner, and expected close date preserved. The DinamikCRM pipeline assignment maps to a Pipedrive Pipeline and Stage that we configure before migration. Deals without a linked Contact or Company are flagged during reconciliation for manual assignment before final import.
DinamikCRM
Activities
Pipedrive
Activities
1:1DinamikCRM Activity entries (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) map to Pipedrive Activities using the unified Activities object. Activity type, date, subject, and linked Contact or Company transfer. We preserve the activity timeline ordering by setting the correct activity dates in Pipedrive. Meeting location and attendee data from DinamikCRM maps to the activity details field.
DinamikCRM
Appointments
Pipedrive
Activities (type Meeting)
1:1DinamikCRM Appointment records map to Pipedrive Activities with type set to Meeting. Date, time, duration, attendee, and status transfer. Any scheduling-specific fields without a Pipedrive equivalent are flagged for the customer admin to handle manually post-migration.
DinamikCRM
Invoices
Pipedrive
Invoices (add-on)
1:1DinamikCRM Invoice records can map to Pipedrive Invoices, but this requires the Pipedrive Invoices add-on to be active on the destination account (Premium plan or above). If the add-on is not available, we map invoice data to structured Deal fields or a custom field group and flag this during scoping. Line items, totals, and payment status transfer where the target supports them.
DinamikCRM
Custom Modules
Pipedrive
Custom Fields or Notes
lossyDinamikCRM's custom modules vary per account, so we enumerate all active custom modules during the discovery phase, export their schema, and map each to Pipedrive custom fields on the appropriate standard object. Fields with single-value data types (text, number, date, dropdown) map to typed Pipedrive custom fields. Complex multi-value or freeform structures map to structured Notes attached to the parent record. We flag any module relationship logic that does not translate directly to Pipedrive's flat object model.
DinamikCRM
Pipelines
Pipedrive
Pipelines
lossyDinamikCRM pipeline configurations map to Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages. Each pipeline in DinamikCRM becomes a separate Pipeline in Pipedrive with stages translated in order. Custom stage logic (conditional stage progression, auto-advance rules) does not transfer and is flagged for the customer admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's workflow builder post-migration.
DinamikCRM
Users
Pipedrive
Users
1:1DinamikCRM user records map to Pipedrive Users by email match. Owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities resolve to the Pipedrive UserId. Any DinamikCRM Owner without a matching Pipedrive User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before record import resumes.
DinamikCRM
Attachments
Pipedrive
Attachments (external storage)
1:1File attachments linked to DinamikCRM records are exported as file metadata and URLs. Pipedrive stores attachments as links to Google Drive or Dropbox files, not as uploaded files directly. We flag attachment records for manual re-upload to Pipedrive's linked storage and document which records have attachments that require post-migration action.
DinamikCRM
Tags
Pipedrive
Labels
lossyDinamikCRM tag assignments on records map to Pipedrive Labels. Tag groups that do not map cleanly to a single label structure are flagged for the customer admin to decide whether to use Pipedrive's label system or custom fields for the classification.

Migration approach
Module discovery and schema enumeration
We audit the DinamikCRM account to enumerate all active modules, their field definitions, and the record counts per module. This discovery phase is mandatory because DinamikCRM's architecture allows each customer to create unique module structures. We map each discovered module to a Pipedrive target object or custom field group, flagging any modules that cannot map directly to Pipedrive's flat object model. The discovery output is a written schema map and migration scope document that the customer approves before any data moves.
Pipedrive environment preparation
We configure the destination Pipedrive account based on the schema map: we create custom fields on People, Organizations, Deals, and Leads matching the DinamikCRM fields, set up Pipelines and Stages mapped from DinamikCRM pipeline configurations, and configure Organization structures. If the Invoices add-on is needed and not yet active, we flag this for the customer to activate before Phase 4 begins. All configuration happens in a dedicated Pipedrive sandbox or test account first for validation.
Sandbox migration and mapping validation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive test account using production-like record volumes. The customer reconciles record counts (People in, Organizations in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks mapped records against the DinamikCRM source, and validates that custom field values appear correctly in Pipedrive. Any mapping corrections, missed fields, or schema adjustments happen at this stage before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct DinamikCRM owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and match them by email against the Pipedrive destination account's user list. Any DinamikCRM owner without a matching Pipedrive user goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer provisions any missing Pipedrive users before production migration begins, because OwnerId references on Deals and Activities require an active Pipedrive user to resolve.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations first (from DinamikCRM Companies), then People (from Contacts with org_id resolved), Leads, Deals with owner and organization links resolved, Activities via batched API calls, and custom module data flattened into custom fields or Notes last. We monitor both DinamikCRM export responses (for 429 rate-limit signals) and Pipedrive import responses (for field-validation errors) throughout. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze DinamikCRM writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We validate migrated records against the DinamikCRM source, confirm deal values, activity timelines, and owner assignments are intact, and deliver the automation rebuild handoff document listing every DinamikCRM workflow and automation rule requiring manual rebuild in Pipedrive. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
