Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Pipedrive
Person
1:1HubSpot 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)
Pipedrive
Custom field on Person
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Pipeline
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Stage
1:1HubSpot 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)
Pipedrive
Activity (type: call)
1:1HubSpot 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)
Pipedrive
Activity (type: email)
1:1HubSpot 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)
Pipedrive
Activity (type: meeting)
1:1HubSpot 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)
Pipedrive
Activity (type: note) or Note
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Custom fields
1:1HubSpot 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
Pipedrive
Custom field or label
1:1HubSpot 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
