Overview
Field Pros structures field-service data around technician records, job tickets, and service-site locations — a flat or lightly hierarchical model built around operational dispatch. Pipedrive organizes around a Person-Organization-Deal graph where contacts (Persons) link to companies (Organizations) and sales opportunities (Deals) carry activity history. The migration carries Field Pros contacts into Pipedrive Persons, organizations into Organizations, and any deal or ticket records into Pipedrive Deals, with custom property values translated to Pipedrive custom fields on the matching object. Pipedrive's no-custom-objects constraint means any source custom entities must decompose into a combination of standard Pipedrive objects and custom fields. Activity history (calls, notes, tasks) migrates as Pipedrive Activities with original timestamps and assigned owners. Workflows, dispatch rules, and scheduling automations are configuration, not data — they must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's automation builder. FlitStack AI uses scoped read access to Field Pros and Pipedrive's REST API for the migration, with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during the cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field Pros 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 Pros
Contact / Technician Record
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Field Pros stores individual field technicians, dispatch staff, or service contacts as person records. These map directly to Pipedrive Persons. Name, email, phone, and address fields translate field-for-field. Owner assignment resolves by email match to a Pipedrive user. During migration, any missing required fields trigger an exception flag for manual review.
Field Pros
Company / Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Client companies or service accounts in Field Pros map to Pipedrive Organizations. Business name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields map directly. Parent-child company hierarchies in Field Pros map to Organization hierarchy in Pipedrive. If a parent company has not yet been migrated, the child record is flagged for deferred hierarchy assignment until the parent exists.
Field Pros
Job Ticket / Service Record
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Field Pros job tickets and service records carry operational data (site location, technician assignment, service type) that maps to Pipedrive Deals. The ticket description becomes the Deal title. Custom ticket fields (priority, service category, site address) become Pipedrive custom fields on the Deal object.
Field Pros
Site / Location Record
Pipedrive
Organization (address fields) + Custom Fields
many:1Field Pros stores service-site locations with address, site code, and site-specific notes. The address data merges into the linked Organization record. Site code and site-specific metadata become custom fields on the Organization so each location is traceable within Pipedrive. If multiple sites share the same address, each retains its unique site code to avoid duplicate Organization records.
Field Pros
Ticket Notes / Activity Log
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Field Pros timestamps and log entries on tickets map to Pipedrive Activities. Each log entry becomes an Activity with type (note, call, meeting), subject, body text, original timestamp, and the linked Person or Deal as the parent record. Activities are created with the done flag set according to the source log's completion status, preserving the original activity state.
Field Pros
Ticket Attachments / Site Photos
Pipedrive
Activity Attachments
1:1Files attached to Field Pros tickets — job photos, site documents, signed forms — re-upload as Pipedrive Activity attachments. Pipedrive's per-plan storage limits apply (5GB/user on Essential). Files exceeding limits are linked via URL or flagged for selective migration. During the pre-migration audit, FlitStack calculates total attachment size and recommends a selective-migration policy to stay within plan limits.
Field Pros
Technician Assignment
Pipedrive
Person (linked to Deal via Activity)
1:1Technician assignments on Field Pros tickets map to the assigned Person record linked via a Pipedrive Activity (call or task note) on the Deal. This preserves the assignment history without requiring Pipedrive's optional Resources add-on. If multiple technicians are assigned to a single ticket, each gets a separate activity entry, ensuring full auditability of who performed what work.
Field Pros
Service Category / Work Order Type
Pipedrive
Deal Label + Custom Field
1:1Service categories from Field Pros (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing) map to a Pipedrive Deal Label for visual filtering and also to a custom pick-list field (Service_Category__c) on the Deal object for reporting continuity. When a category does not exist in Pipedrive's label list, FlitStack creates a new label and updates the mapping table to keep the label set consistent across migrations.
Field Pros
Custom Field Values (any entity)
Pipedrive
Custom Field (same entity in Pipedrive)
1:1Any Field Pros custom field values on Contacts, Companies, or Tickets that have no Pipedrive standard-field equivalent are created as Pipedrive custom fields on the corresponding object. Field type (text, number, date, pick-list) is preserved. Multi-select pick-lists in Field Pros decompose to comma-separated text in Pipedrive custom fields.
Field Pros
User / Owner Record
Pipedrive
User
1:1Field Pros users (dispatchers, technicians, managers) are resolved by email address against Pipedrive users. Unmatched users are flagged before migration; your team either creates the Pipedrive user account first or assigns records to a fallback owner. Historical records without a matched owner attach to the migration admin user.
Field Pros
Lead / Prospect Record
Pipedrive
Lead (Pipedrive Leads inbox)
1:1Field Pros records flagged as prospects or unassigned leads migrate to Pipedrive's Leads inbox. Leads with a qualified status route to the Person-Organization-Deal model. Pipedrive's Leads inbox requires manual qualification routing post-migration if you use the leads-first workflow. If your team prefers direct deal creation, FlitStack can auto-promote qualified leads to Persons and link them to existing Organizations during migration, reducing post-migration manual steps.
Field Pros
Ticket Status / Job Stage
Pipedrive
Deal Stage (Pipeline Stage)
1:1Field Pros ticket status values (New, In Progress, On Hold, Complete) map to named Pipedrive pipeline stages. Each status maps value-by-value to a stage in your Pipedrive pipeline. Stage order and probability are configurable in Pipedrive's pipeline settings post-migration. During migration, FlitStack records the original status timestamp so you can set stage-specific SLAs or triggers in Pipedrive based on when the status changed.

Migration approach
Audit Field Pros data volume and custom field inventory
FlitStack connects to Field Pros via API to enumerate all person records, organization records, ticket/deal records, activities, and attachments. We count unique custom field definitions per entity and flag any custom objects that lack a Pipedrive native equivalent. This audit produces the migration scope document: record counts per entity type, custom field list, and an initial custom-field creation checklist for your Pipedrive admin.
Pre-build Pipedrive custom fields and pipelines
Before any data moves, your Pipedrive admin creates the custom fields identified in the audit on the Person, Organization, and Deal objects. FlitStack delivers the exact field names, types, and pick-list values to create. Pipedrive pipelines and stages are also configured at this stage — each Field Pros ticket status gets a named stage. Pipedrive's limit is 100 pipelines and 100 stages per pipeline; most migrations are well within this.
Resolve owner and user mappings by email
FlitStack matches Field Pros owner and technician IDs against Pipedrive user email addresses. Any owner with no matching Pipedrive user is flagged in a pre-migration exception report. Your team either creates the Pipedrive user first or designates a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved owner — this prevents orphaned records in Pipedrive. FlitStack also cross-references each matched user's Pipedrive role with the original Field Pros role, storing role details as a custom label on the Person record. The exception report lists any unresolved owners with suggested fallback assignments, ensuring a clean owner chain before migration.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records (typically 100–500) migrates first across all entity types. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing source value versus destination value for every mapped field. You verify that ticket status mapped to the correct Pipedrive stage, custom fields landed on the right objects, and activity logs attached to the correct parent records. Sample validation typically takes 2–4 hours before the full run is approved.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Pipedrive's API with distributed token pacing to respect rate limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs concurrently, capturing any Field Pros records created or modified during the migration cutover. FlitStack's audit log records every create, update, and link operation. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues. During the delta window, FlitStack monitors API response times and adjusts token allocation to avoid throttling. If a record changes after initial export, it is re-queued for the final sync, guaranteeing that the Pipedrive workspace reflects the latest Field Pros state at go-live.
