Overview
Field Nexus is a field-service management platform built around work orders, scheduling, dispatch, and technician routing — with a lightweight CRM layer for storing customer and company records. Pipedrive is a sales CRM built around persons, organizations, deals, leads, and visual pipeline management. These are fundamentally different data models, which means the migration requires more than a direct field-to-field mapping. FlitStack AI maps Field Nexus customers to Pipedrive Persons, Field Nexus companies to Pipedrive Organizations, and Field Nexus work orders to Pipedrive Deals — creating new Pipedrive deal stages that mirror your Field Nexus job lifecycle. Service history (completed visits, notes, technician activities) migrates as Pipedrive Activities with original timestamps and owners. Custom fields from Field Nexus — dispatch priority, service type, technician assignment — require Pipedrive custom fields, which we provision via the Pipedrive API before the migration runs. The hard limits of this pair: Pipedrive has no native work-order scheduling, technician dispatch, or service-slot concept. Scheduling windows, assigned technicians, and route data from Field Nexus cannot map to a Pipedrive native field — they become custom fields for reference, and the service scheduling logic must be rebuilt using Pipedrive Activities, Calendar integrations, or a third-party scheduling tool post-migration. FlitStack does not migrate automations, integrations, or workflows — those are field-service-specific constructs that have no Pipedrive equivalent and must be rebuilt by your team.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field Nexus 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.
Field Nexus
Customer
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Field Nexus customers map 1:1 to Pipedrive Persons. Each customer record transfers as a Person with name, email, phone, and address fields populated. Customers with multiple service locations: the primary location becomes the Person address; additional locations migrate as custom fields on the Person record.
Field Nexus
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Field Nexus companies map to Pipedrive Organizations. Company name becomes Organization name, domain becomes website. Industry and employee count migrate to Organization custom fields since Pipedrive Organizations do not have native industry or headcount fields. Including sector classification and workforce size that your team can reference on each Organization record.
Field Nexus
Work Order
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Field Nexus work orders are the migration's central object. Each work order becomes a Pipedrive Deal. The work order status (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) becomes a Pipedrive deal stage. We create Pipedrive deal stages that mirror your Field Nexus work order statuses. Work order value or estimated price maps to Deal value.
Field Nexus
Work Order Status
Pipedrive
Deal Stage
1:1Each Field Nexus work order status (e.g., Quoted, Scheduled, Dispatched, Completed, On Hold) maps to a corresponding Pipedrive deal stage we create in your Pipedrive account. Stage probability and forecast category are applied per stage based on your historical close rates from Field Nexus.
Field Nexus
Technician
Pipedrive
User
1:1Field Nexus technician names and IDs are preserved as custom fields on the Deal and Activity records where they appear, not as Pipedrive Users. Technician-to-user email matching is attempted so the Activity owner resolves to a Pipedrive User where an email match exists. Scheduling assignment data (which technician was booked for a given work order) migrates as a custom field.
Field Nexus
Service History / Activity Log
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Field Nexus service history entries — completed visits, notes, technician check-ins — migrate as Pipedrive Activities with original timestamps and owners preserved. Activity type maps to Pipedrive Activity type (Call, Meeting, Task, Note). Service description and outcome are stored in the Activity subject and details fields.
Field Nexus
Service Location
Pipedrive
Custom Field on Person / Organization
1:1Field Nexus supports multiple service addresses per customer. Pipedrive Organizations have one primary address field. We create custom fields (Service_Location_2__c, Service_Location_3__c, etc.) on the Organization or Person record to hold additional addresses. Address labels from Field Nexus (e.g., Primary, Billing, Job Site) map to custom field names.
Field Nexus
Estimate
Pipedrive
Deal or Activity
1:manyField Nexus estimates split into two Pipedrive records: open estimates with monetary value become Deals (with a Won/Lost stage reflecting acceptance), and rejected or historical estimates become Activities for reference. Estimate line items migrate as custom fields on the Deal (item count, unit price, total) or as Activity details.
Field Nexus
Custom Fields (Work Order)
Pipedrive
Custom Fields on Deal
1:1Field Nexus custom fields on work orders — service type, priority level, dispatch zone, equipment used — are created as Pipedrive custom fields on the Deal object before migration. Field types are matched (pick-list, number, date, text) using Pipedrive's 16 field types. Custom field API keys are retrieved from Pipedrive post-creation for mapping.
Field Nexus
Attachments / Files
Pipedrive
Files
1:1Field Nexus job photos, signatures, and documents attached to work orders are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files, linked to the corresponding Deal record. File size limits apply: Pipedrive's file size limits per plan govern re-upload. We handle inline images from Field Nexus notes by downloading and rehosting.
Field Nexus
Automations / Workflows
Pipedrive
Not Migrated
1:1Field Nexus automations — dispatch rules, customer notification triggers, scheduling auto-assignment — are field-service-specific and have no Pipedrive equivalent. FlitStack does not migrate automations. We export your automation definitions as a rebuild reference for your Pipedrive admin. To assist in recreating workflows in Pipedrive's Automation platform.
Field Nexus
Integrations
Pipedrive
Not Migrated
1:1Field Nexus integrations (calendar sync, accounting software, payment processors, GPS/routing tools) cannot migrate to Pipedrive. Pipedrive's integrations are CRM-focused (Slack, Zapier, email). Each integration must be evaluated and rebuilt separately after go-live. Including calendar synchronization, accounting, payment processing, and routing services that need to be reconnected post-migration.

Migration approach
Audit Field Nexus data and map work order lifecycle to Pipedrive deal stages
We export your Field Nexus data via API — customers, companies, work orders, service history, technicians, estimates, and custom fields. During the audit we identify work order statuses and map each one to a Pipedrive deal stage we will create in your Pipedrive account. We also identify custom fields that need to be provisioned in Pipedrive before migration (service type, dispatch zone, technician assignment, etc.). The audit output is a migration plan document your team reviews and approves before any data moves.
Provision Pipedrive custom fields and deal stages via API
Before migration runs, we create the Pipedrive custom fields on Person, Organization, and Deal objects using the Pipedrive API — retrieving the API key hashes for each custom field so field mapping resolves correctly. We also create the deal stages in Pipedrive matching your Field Nexus work order statuses, with stage probabilities and forecast categories applied. This step sequences before the migration so the destination schema is ready when data lands.
Resolve technicians to Pipedrive users by email match
Field Nexus technician records are matched against Pipedrive users by email address. Where an email match exists, the Pipedrive User ID resolves and the Activity owner maps cleanly. Where no match exists, the technician name and ID are stored in a custom field (Assigned_Technician__c) on the Deal and Activity for reference. Unmatched technicians are flagged in the pre-migration report so your team can either invite them to Pipedrive or assign a fallback owner before the migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning customers, companies, work orders, and service activities. We generate a field-level diff between the Field Nexus source and the Pipedrive destination so you can verify deal stage mapping, custom field population, address handling for multi-location customers, and technician-to-user resolution. You approve the sample before the full migration commits. You can also request additional validation checks on custom field mapping, ensuring data integrity before the bulk run.
Full migration with delta-pickup window and one-click rollback
Full migration runs against Pipedrive's API with rate-limit management applied. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Field Nexus records modified or created during the cutover window. Audit logs capture every operation — record count per object, error rate, and field-level validation results. One-click rollback is available within 72 hours of go-live if reconciliation fails. During the migration, we also capture API response times to detect throttling and adjust pacing automatically.
