Overview

What this migration involves

HubSpot's all-in-one model stores contacts, companies, deals, engagements, and custom objects in a single unified graph. Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM that separates People (individual contacts), Organizations (companies), Deals (pipeline stages), and Activities (tasks, calls, emails, meetings) into distinct entities with their own API endpoints. A migration from HubSpot to Pipedrive carries contacts, companies, deal history, activity records, and custom fields — but leaves workflows, sequences, email templates, reports, and marketing automation behind, since those require destination-side configuration. FlitStack uses HubSpot's API and CSV export endpoints to extract your data, resolves HubSpot owner emails against Pipedrive users, maps HubSpot lifecycle stages to a custom Pipedrive field, and splits multi-company contact associations into a primary Organization with additional links surfaced as custom fields. The process also preserves original create dates, last-modified timestamps, and owner assignments across all objects. A delta-pickup window captures any records modified between the initial extraction and the final cutover, ensuring that no new or updated entries are omitted. Throughout the migration, field-level validation compares source values against the destination schema, and any mismatched pick-list values trigger a review before insertion. The result is a clean, fully populated Pipedrive instance that reflects the most recent state of your HubSpot data.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Dr.DENTES logo

Dr.DENTES

What's pushing teams away

  • Geographic focus is Turkey first; the compliance integrations (USS/e-Nabız, e-Reçete) are irrelevant outside Turkey, and English-speaking dental practices typically need different e-prescribing connectors.
  • Very thin public review footprint — G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp list the product but with minimal reviewer feedback, so prospective buyers cannot easily compare against Curve, Open Dental, or Dentrix.
  • No documented public API or developer portal limits integration with practice analytics, marketing platforms, or imaging hardware vendors.
  • Single-vendor lock-in for the e-Nabız/USS bridge means migrations off Dr.DENTES require rebuilding the Turkish compliance integration in whatever dental PM replaces it.
  • Lightweight reporting and analytics versus enterprise-tier dental PMs; reviewers and the vendor's own feature page describe analytics as 'detailed reporting' rather than a configurable BI layer.

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 Dr.DENTES objects map to Pipedrive

Each row shows how a Dr.DENTES 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.

Dr.DENTES

Contact

maps to

Pipedrive

Person

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot Contact maps directly to Pipedrive Person. Every standard field such as name, email, phone, and job title has a Pipedrive equivalent, preserving the original data format. Contacts that lack a HubSpot company association become orphan Persons; FlitStack can optionally attach these to a default Organization or a placeholder company to keep the data structure consistent.

Dr.DENTES

Contact (lifecycle_stage)

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom field on Person

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot lifecycle_stage has no native Pipedrive equivalent, so FlitStack creates a pick‑list custom field called lifecycle_stage on the Person object, copying HubSpot's exact stage values and order. Stage‑transition timestamps are stored as separate datetime custom fields to preserve the history of each contact's progression and enable reporting continuity in Pipedrive.

Dr.DENTES

Company

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot Company maps directly to Pipedrive Organization, copying fields such as name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue on a one‑to‑one basis. Because Pipedrive does not support a native parent‑child hierarchy for organizations, HubSpot's parent‑company relationships are stored as a custom parent_org_id field, allowing teams to reconstruct corporate structures in Pipedrive through custom reporting or filtering.

Dr.DENTES

Deal

maps to

Pipedrive

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot Deal maps directly to Pipedrive Deal, making this the most straightforward object mapping in the migration. Core fields such as deal name, amount, close date, and owner are transferred and resolved by matching owner email addresses between HubSpot and Pipedrive. The pipeline‑stage mapping is handled in a separate step (see Pipeline mapping row) to ensure each deal lands in the correct Pipedrive pipeline and stage.

Dr.DENTES

Pipeline

maps to

Pipedrive

Pipeline

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot pipeline becomes a Pipedrive Pipeline; each distinct HubSpot pipeline translates into its own Pipedrive Pipeline because Pipedrive scopes stage names per pipeline. Consequently, a HubSpot configuration with three separate pipelines results in three Pipedrive Pipelines, each containing its own ordered set of stages that reflect the original HubSpot stage order and probability settings.

Dr.DENTES

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Pipedrive

Stage

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot stage names map to Pipedrive Stage names on a value‑by‑value basis within each Pipeline, preserving the exact stage labels as they appear in HubSpot. The display order of stages is transferred to maintain the visual sequence in Pipedrive. Stage probability percentages and forecast categories are manually re‑applied in Pipedrive because HubSpot's native probability metadata does not export automatically.

Dr.DENTES

Engagement (Call)

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type: call)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot call engagements are migrated as Pipedrive Activities with type='call', preserving the original call timestamps, duration, direction (inbound or outbound), and the owner resolved by email match. The resulting Pipedrive Activity record is linked to the corresponding migrated Person or Deal via its ID, ensuring that call history remains associated with the correct CRM entity.

Dr.DENTES

Engagement (Email)

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type: email)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot email engagements are transferred as Pipedrive Activities with type='email', preserving the subject line, body content, and the sent or received timestamp for each message. Email attachments are downloaded from HubSpot and re‑uploaded to Pipedrive's file storage; any attachment exceeding Pipedrive's 25 MB per‑file limit is flagged in the migration report for manual handling.

Dr.DENTES

Engagement (Meeting)

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type: meeting)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot meeting engagements become Pipedrive Activities with type='meeting', retaining the start time, end time, location, and attendee list, with each attendee resolved by matching their email address to a Pipedrive user or contact. Because Pipedrive generates its own video meeting links, any HubSpot video link is saved as a custom text field on the activity to preserve the original meeting URL.

Dr.DENTES

Engagement (Note)

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity (type: note) or Note

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot notes are migrated as Pipedrive Notes attached to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record, preserving rich‑text formatting such as bold, italics, and hyperlinks. When a HubSpot note is associated with multiple records, FlitStack creates separate Note entries on each related entity in Pipedrive, because Pipedrive Notes can only be linked to a single record.

Dr.DENTES

Custom Object

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom fields

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot custom objects (Enterprise tier) map to custom fields on the nearest Pipedrive entity (Person, Organization, or Deal). Custom-object relationships that are N:N in HubSpot must be stored as pipe-separated custom fields in Pipedrive since Pipedrive does not support many-to-many junction objects natively.

Dr.DENTES

Association Label

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom field or label

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot association labels (Decision Maker, Influencer, Champion) have no Pipedrive equivalent. We create a custom pick-list field (association_role) on the Person-Deal relationship or on Person directly. Teams choose whether to replicate every label or collapse into a simpler role set.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Pipedrive's API import limit requires staged execution on large datasets

    Pipedrive's native import tools process up to 25,000 records per batch synchronously. For datasets exceeding this threshold, FlitStack splits the migration into off-peak batches, coordinating with Pipedrive's rate-limit windows. This prevents pipeline_id and stage_id collisions that occur when concurrent bulk imports overwrite stage configurations mid-run. Import2 (Pipedrive's recommended third-party migration tool) notes that 25,000+ record migrations are handled in off-peak hours over 1–2 business days. FlitStack uses API-driven bulk insertion with conflict resolution to maintain data integrity across batches.

  • Multi-pipeline setups require manual Pipedrive Pipeline and Stage pre-creation

    HubSpot allows each pipeline to share stage names or use unique ones — but every Pipedrive Pipeline has its own isolated set of stages. A HubSpot setup with three pipelines, each using a 'Proposal' stage, creates three separate Pipedrive Pipelines, each with their own 'Proposal' Stage ID. FlitStack cannot auto-create Pipedrive Pipelines via the API without admin credentials and explicit naming — we deliver a Pipeline-Stage pre-creation checklist as part of the migration plan. Stage IDs and their display order must be finalized before data insertion begins, otherwise stage_id values in the Deals payload resolve to the wrong Pipeline.

  • Custom fields must be pre-created in Pipedrive before bulk import or keys diverge

    Pipedrive auto-creates custom fields during CSV import with system-generated hash keys (e.g., 8f6a2b3c1d...) rather than the original HubSpot field names. This breaks any Pipedrive Automations or Smart Docs that reference those fields by name. FlitStack creates custom fields via the Pipedrive API (POST /personFields, /dealFields, /organizationFields) before inserting records, matching the exact field type, name, and pick-list values from HubSpot. Fields are created in Pipedrive before any data is written to ensure field keys are human-readable and referenceable in Pipedrive's automation builder.

  • HubSpot association labels have no Pipedrive equivalent — roles get flattened or discarded

    HubSpot lets you label a contact's role on a specific deal — Decision Maker, Economic Buyer, Champion, Influencer. Pipedrive has no equivalent role label on a Person-Deal association. The built-in 'Participants' feature only tracks who is involved, not the nature of their involvement. FlitStack surfaces this gap in the pre-migration audit and offers two options: (1) store the label as a custom field on the Person (role_per_deal), or (2) collapse all labels into a binary 'key_contact' flag. Teams that rely on role-based reporting in HubSpot will need to rebuild that logic in Pipedrive's Custom Reports using the custom field data.

  • HubSpot's marketing-contact flag is billing-only with no Pipedrive data equivalent

    HubSpot charges based on the count of contacts flagged as marketing contacts — this is a billing configuration, not a data property with business logic. Pipedrive has no concept of marketing vs. non-marketing contact at the CRM level. Migrating contacts without addressing this means your marketing-ops team loses the flag that drives HubSpot's billing tier. FlitStack preserves the marketing-contact flag as a custom field (was_marketing_contact) on Person. However, Pipedrive's billing model is per-seat and does not use this field — marketing-ops logic must be rebuilt in your chosen marketing automation tool (e.g., Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign) post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Dr.DENTES to Pipedrive data migration

  1. Pre-migration audit and schema planning

    FlitStack connects to HubSpot via API to enumerate all object types, custom properties, pipeline configurations, and association labels. We generate a Pipedrive pre-creation checklist: Pipelines and Stages to create, custom fields to create via API (with exact field types and pick-list values), and owner resolution rules. Pipelines must be created in Pipedrive before Deals are inserted because Pipedrive's stage_id is scoped per pipeline_id. This step produces a signed-off migration plan before any data moves.

  2. Owner resolution and user mapping

    HubSpot owner_id references a HubSpot user record. Pipedrive user_id references a Pipedrive user account. FlitStack resolves owners by matching HubSpot owner email addresses against Pipedrive user emails. Any HubSpot owner without a matching Pipedrive user is flagged in a pre-flight report — your team creates the Pipedrive user or assigns those records to a fallback owner before migration begins. No record migrates without a resolved Pipedrive owner.

  3. Organizations and Persons first, Deals second

    Pipedrive requires Person.org_id to reference an existing Organization ID — foreign-key constraints prevent orphaned Persons from being inserted without an org. FlitStack sequences the migration: Organizations migrate first (with parent_org_id preserved as a custom field), then Persons (with org_id resolved, lifecycle_stage set as a custom field, and hubspot_object_id stored for traceability), then Deals (with pipeline_id and stage_id resolved per the pre-creation checklist). Activities attach to their parent records by the migrated IDs.

  4. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a cross-section of custom fields. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source HubSpot values against the migrated Pipedrive values. You verify that lifecycle stages mapped correctly, stage names resolved to the right Pipedrive pipeline, and owner resolution worked end-to-end. Sample migration findings are incorporated into the full-run mapping before the production migration is scheduled.

  5. Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full dataset migrates against Pipedrive using the validated field mapping. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs alongside the migration — any HubSpot records modified or created between the initial extraction and the cutover window are synced into Pipedrive before go-live. FlitStack produces an audit log listing every record migrated, every field transformed, and every owner resolved. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation finds unexpected gaps. The final deliverable is a migration report with record counts, skip reasons, and a list of custom fields created in Pipedrive for downstream automation rebuilds.

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 HubSpot-to-Pipedrive migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 total records. The longest planning step is Pipeline and Stage pre-creation in Pipedrive, which requires your admin to set up Pipelines before data insertion begins. Larger setups with 500k+ records, multiple pipelines, or extensive custom objects extend to 5–10 days. Pipedrive's API rate limits and 25,000-record batch ceiling are the primary time drivers at scale.
