Overview
Moving from eZnet CRM to Pipedrive is a lateral shift in price tier combined with a significant upgrade in ecosystem depth. eZnet CRM at $10-30/user/month targets small businesses with basic CRM needs; Pipedrive at $14.90/user/month and above serves 100,000+ companies across 179 countries with a mature integration marketplace of over 350 connectors. The structural difference that drives the migration is eZnet's thin public API surface and limited third-party ecosystem versus Pipedrive's documented REST API, Import2 migration partner support, and established AppExchange-class marketplace. We handle the schema translation from eZnet's Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and Activities to Pipedrive's Organizations, People, Leads, Deals, and Activities. eZnet's tier-based record limits (100K on Standard, unlimited on Professional/Enterprise) require scoping during discovery. Workflows, automations, and marketing campaign logic do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a eZnet CRM 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.
eZnet CRM
Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1eZnet CRM Accounts map directly to Pipedrive Organizations. The Account name, website, address fields, phone, and industry classification migrate to the corresponding Organization fields. Account is imported before any Person or Deal to satisfy Pipedrive's foreign-key relationships. We use Organization name as the deduplication key and flag any eZnet Accounts with duplicate names for the customer's admin to resolve before final import.
eZnet CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1eZnet CRM Contacts map to Pipedrive People. Each Person is linked to a parent Organization (resolved by matching the eZnet Account name or domain). Name, email, phone, title, and address fields migrate directly. eZnet's Account-Contact associations are preserved by resolving the target Organization UUID at import time and setting the Person's organization_id.
eZnet CRM
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1eZnet CRM Leads (distinct from Opportunities) map to Pipedrive Leads. Lead status, source, and any custom lead fields migrate to Pipedrive's Lead object fields. Pipedrive's Lead object is separate from Person and can be converted to a Person-Organization combination during or after migration, which we document as a post-migration workflow step.
eZnet CRM
Opportunity
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1eZnet CRM Opportunities map to Pipedrive Deals. Stage name from eZnet maps to the target Pipedrive pipeline stage; we configure the Pipedrive pipeline stages before migration to match eZnet's stage names and order. Expected close date, deal value, and probability migrate to Pipedrive's close_date, value, and probability fields. Each Deal is linked to the parent Organization (and optionally Person) by resolving the eZnet Account and Contact references.
eZnet CRM
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
lossyeZnet CRM pipeline and stage configuration (stage names, order, win/loss definitions) is captured during discovery and mapped to Pipedrive Pipeline objects. We create Pipedrive Pipelines with matching stage names and sequence before Deal import. Probability percentages per stage migrate to Pipedrive's stage-level probability settings.
eZnet CRM
Activity (calls, emails, tasks, events)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1eZnet CRM Activities (calls, emails, tasks, meetings) map to Pipedrive Activities with the corresponding type field (call, email, task, meeting). Activity date, duration (for calls), notes, and subject migrate directly. We resolve the parent Person or Organization reference by matching eZnet Contact and Account names against the imported Pipedrive records. The activity type field determines which Pipedrive activity endpoint is used during import.
eZnet CRM
Document
Pipedrive
Attachment / Note
1:1eZnet CRM Document Library metadata (file name, description, linked Account or Contact) migrates as Pipedrive Notes or attachments linked to the parent Organization or Person. Actual file blobs require separate handling and are flagged during scoping; we provide a written checklist for file migration including target path structure in Pipedrive's file storage model.
eZnet CRM
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
lossyeZnet CRM custom fields (Standard tier and above) are captured with their data type, picklist values, and visibility settings during discovery. We pre-create the equivalent Pipedrive custom fields (using Pipedrive's field type system: text, numeric, date, dropdown, checkbox, etc.) before any record import so that the mapping is in place at insert time. Picklist values migrate as Pipedrive drop-down options.
eZnet CRM
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1eZnet CRM Users and role-based assignments export as Pipedrive Users. We match by email address. Any eZnet User without a matching Pipedrive User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Inactive eZnet users are preserved as historical Deal and Activity owners where the original owner context is needed.
eZnet CRM
Marketing Campaign
Pipedrive
Campaign
1:1eZnet CRM Marketing Campaign records and associated email marketing data migrate to Pipedrive Campaigns. Campaign member associations to Contacts are preserved where possible; Pipedrive's campaign membership model differs from eZnet's, so we document the mapping and flag any associations that require manual reassignment in Pipedrive's campaign interface post-migration.
eZnet CRM
Inventory Item
Pipedrive
Product
1:1eZnet CRM Inventory Items (Professional tier and above) export with item records, stock levels, and pricing. These map to Pipedrive Products. Unit price, SKU, and description migrate to Pipedrive's corresponding Product fields. Products can be linked to Deals via the Deal-Product association if the customer uses Pipedrive's product-linking feature.
eZnet CRM
Email Integration
Pipedrive
Activity (email type)
1:1eZnet CRM email integration metadata (which Contact and Account an email is associated with) migrates to Pipedrive Activities of type email. The email subject, body, timestamp, and sender/recipient information are mapped to Pipedrive's activity fields. Full email threading and attachment content require separate handling based on what eZnet's export mechanism exposes.

Migration approach
Discovery and export capability assessment
We audit the source eZnet CRM environment across tier (Standard/Professional/Enterprise), record counts per object type, custom field schema, pipeline and stage configuration, user list, and available export mechanisms. Because eZnet CRM has no documented public API, we specifically assess whether CSV exports, manual downloads, or direct file access are available for each object type. We identify the total record volume, check for 100K record cap overages on Standard tier, and produce a written discovery document that defines the migration approach for each object.
Pipedrive pipeline and schema pre-configuration
Before any data moves, we configure the Pipedrive destination: Pipelines with stage names and order matching eZnet's pipeline configuration, custom fields pre-created with the correct field types and picklist values, User accounts provisioned to match eZnet's user list (resolved by email), and duplicate detection rules enabled. Schema configuration happens in Pipedrive's UI or via API before record import begins.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration using a sample of records (typically 50-100 per object type) into a staging environment or a shadow Pipedrive account. The customer reconciles field values, relationship chains (Person linked to Organization, Deal linked to Person and Organization), and activity threading. We correct any field mapping, sequence order, or transformation logic before committing to the full migration. This step catches issues that would otherwise corrupt the production migration.
Data export and transformation
We export data from eZnet CRM using the available export mechanisms identified in discovery. For each object, we apply a transformation step that maps eZnet field names to Pipedrive field names, converts data types (date formats, picklist values, phone number formats), applies deduplication logic, and builds the foreign-key reference columns needed for Pipedrive's import. Dirty data (incomplete records, inconsistent formatting, duplicate entries) is flagged and reported to the customer for review.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict record-dependency order: Users first, then Organizations (from eZnet Accounts), then People (from eZnet Contacts with organization_id resolved), then Leads, then Deals (with Person and Organization references resolved), then Activities, then Products, then custom object data. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records processed, records inserted, duplicates skipped, and errors encountered. The customer reviews the report before approving the next phase.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze writes to eZnet CRM during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then designate Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of eZnet CRM workflows, automations, and marketing campaign logic with recommended Pipedrive automation equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. Workflow rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder is outside the migration scope and is handled by the customer's admin or a Pipedrive implementation partner.
