Overview
Moving from Evam to Pipedrive is a shift from an event-driven journey-orchestration platform to a visual sales CRM. Evam maps behavioral and transactional touchpoints to Journeys, Campaigns, Segments, and Channels; Pipedrive organizes around People, Organizations, Deals, and Activities in a pipeline-centric view. We migrate the contact and company records, deal history, and engagement timeline, but we flag upfront that Evam's journey step logic, AI predictive scores, and channel configurations (SMS sender IDs, push credentials) have no Pipedrive equivalent. Journeys and journey-triggered automation do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active journey with its entry conditions, step sequence, and branch logic so the customer's team can rebuild in Pipedrive's workflow automation or a dedicated marketing automation layer post-migration. Pipedrive's per-user pricing model (Essential starting at $14/user/month annually) contrasts with Evam's custom enterprise pricing, making Pipedrive more predictable for teams that have outgrown Evam's enterprise cost of entry.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Evam 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.
Evam
Customer
Pipedrive
Person (People)
1:1Evam Customer records map to Pipedrive People. Standard profile fields (name, email, phone, demographic attributes) map 1:1. Custom customer properties migrate as Pipedrive custom fields, with data type compatibility checked at scoping (text to text, number to number, date to date). Evam customer IDs are preserved in a custom field evam_customer_id__c as a migration audit trail and for any future reconciliation.
Evam
Customer
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1If Evam stores company-level groupings or organizational metadata on Customers, these map to Pipedrive Organizations. We extract the organization name from customer properties or related company records and create an Organization record before the Person import so that the Organization-Person link is satisfied at import time. Dedupe is performed on Organization name or domain.
Evam
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Evam Deals (if present as a standalone object in the customer's data model) map to Pipedrive Deals. Deal name, value, stage, owner, expected close date, and custom deal properties migrate directly. Evam deal stages map to Pipedrive Deal stages, which we configure as a pipeline during the schema design phase. Pipedrive's visual pipeline stages and drag-and-drop interface are preserved as the primary deal tracking interface.
Evam
Event (behavioral)
Pipedrive
Note (on Person or Deal)
1:manyEvam behavioral events (page views, link clicks, purchases, custom events) do not have a native Pipedrive equivalent because Pipedrive is not an event-stream platform. We transform event history into Pipedrive Notes attached to the corresponding Person record. Each Note captures the event type, timestamp, and payload as structured text. We scope event exports to the last 90-180 days to stay within migration scope and API quota. Older events are documented as a representative sample for the customer's analytics team.
Evam
Segment
Pipedrive
Filter + Label
lossyEvam customer segments (rule-based groupings for journey entry) map to Pipedrive Filters (saved filter views) and Labels (tag-style classification). We document the segment membership criteria during discovery and rebuild them as Pipedrive filter conditions on the Person object. Labels are applied as a flat classification layer for segments that operated on a tag basis. Complex segments with nested conditions that have no Pipedrive filter equivalent are flagged for manual rebuild or a separate segmentation tool.
Evam
Campaign
Pipedrive
Activity (task-based)
lossyEvam campaigns attached to journey steps map to Pipedrive Activities (tasks and events). Campaign metadata (name, status, dates, channel assignments) migrates as structured notes or custom fields. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, conversion rates) do not migrate because they are derived post-campaign and require the Evam analytics environment to reconstruct. We deliver a campaign inventory document listing every campaign with its metadata for the customer's team to recreate reporting in Pipedrive.
Evam
Channel (SMS, Push, In-app)
Pipedrive
Activity Type (external documentation)
lossyEvam channel configurations (SMS sender IDs, push notification credentials, in-app message templates) are environment-locked and cannot be moved to Pipedrive. We document the full channel configuration during discovery and deliver a re-setup checklist so the customer's operations team can re-register credentials in their chosen messaging platforms before cutover. Pipedrive Activities (calls, emails) serve as the activity record for the sales engagement layer, but channel messaging (SMS, push) requires a separate communications tool integration.
Evam
Custom Field (Customer-level)
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1Evam extended properties on Customers migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the Person object. We map data types explicitly: text properties to text fields, numeric properties to number fields, date properties to date fields, multi-select properties to multiple-choice fields. Picklist values migrate as Pipedrive option sets. Custom field naming is preserved with a migration prefix evam_ for audit traceability.
Evam
Journey
Pipedrive
Workflow Automation (documentation)
lossyEvam Journey definitions (step sequences, branch conditions, wait timers, entry/exit rules) are not exportable from Evam's documented API. We perform a manual journey audit during discovery, documenting every active journey with its trigger conditions, step logic, and channel actions. This documentation is delivered as a written inventory for the customer's team to rebuild in Pipedrive Workflows (available from the Advanced plan) or a separate marketing automation platform. Journeys are not migrated as executable code.
Evam
AI Model / Predictive Score
Pipedrive
None (flag for post-migration rebuild)
1:1Evam's AI-based predictive propensity scores are computed in Evam's runtime environment and are not accessible via the documented API. We cannot migrate these scores directly. Customers relying on AI-driven routing in journeys should plan to re-run scoring in Pipedrive's AI Sales Assistant (available on Advanced plan and above) or a third-party scoring layer post-migration. We document the score fields that existed in Evam so that the customer can re-establish scoring on the migrated contact records.

Evam gotchas
Journey logic lacks structured export
AI predictive scores are non-exportable
Event data volume requires selective snapshot strategy
Channel credentials are environment-locked
Pipedrive gotchas
Custom field hash keys differ per account
Export access gated by visibility groups
Token-based API rate limits since December 2024

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Evam environment across customer record volume, custom field count, active journey count, segment definitions, channel configurations, event export window, and any AI scoring fields in use. We pair this with a Pipedrive plan recommendation (Essential at $14/user/month for core migration, Advanced at $29 for Workflows and email sync, Professional at $49 for custom fields and multiple pipelines) based on the customer's record volume and automation needs. The discovery output is a written migration scope, data inventory, and Pipedrive plan recommendation.
Schema design and pipeline configuration
We design the destination Pipedrive workspace. This includes provisioning Organizations and Person custom fields to match Evam's customer properties, configuring Deal stages and pipeline layout, setting up Labels for Evam segment translation, and designing the Workflow triggers if the customer is on the Advanced plan or above. Pipedrive's visual pipeline is set up before any data import so that Deals land in the correct stages on first load.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (People imported, Organizations imported, Deals imported, Notes created from events), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Evam source, and signs off the field mapping and pipeline configuration before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections happen here, not in production.
Event-to-note transformation and segment translation
We transform Evam's behavioral event stream into Pipedrive Notes attached to the corresponding Person record. Events are scoped to the agreed time window (typically 90-180 days) and transformed into structured Note text (event type, timestamp, payload). Evam segments are translated to Pipedrive Filters and Labels per the segment inventory documented during discovery. Complex segments with no Pipedrive filter equivalent are flagged for manual rebuild.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations first (from Evam company-level data), then People (with OrganizationId resolved), then Deals (with PersonId and OrganizationId resolved), then Notes (linked to Person or Deal), then Custom Fields (mapped field-by-field from Evam), then Labels applied per segment membership. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The Evam customer ID is preserved in a custom field on each Person record for audit traceability.
Cutover, validation, and journey inventory handoff
We freeze Evam writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the journey inventory document (documented during discovery) to the customer's team for rebuild in Pipedrive Workflows or a separate marketing automation layer. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Evam journeys as Pipedrive Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
