Overview
Field Service Trakker organizes around work orders, service tickets, technician assignments, and location-based scheduling — a data model built for dispatch and field operations. Pipedrive organizes around Persons, Organizations, Deals, and Activities — a data model built for sales pipeline management and revenue tracking. These are structurally different platforms with minimal native overlap. FlitStack AI's migration carries over every record it can map: Customers become Organizations with linked Person contacts, Work Orders become Deals with custom fields capturing service-type and status, Service Records and Notes migrate as Pipedrive Activities and Notes, and custom fields translate to Pipedrive's key-based custom fields on each entity type. What cannot migrate: technician dispatch assignments, route-optimization data, location-to-technician proximity data, service-agreement contract terms, and any scheduling or capacity data — those require manual rebuild in Pipedrive or a supplemental scheduling tool. Our migration engine uses Pipedrive's REST API v1 with token-based rate limiting handled via exponential backoff and batched import windows. We run a sample migration with field-level diff first, then commit the full dataset with a delta-pickup window so in-flight changes during cutover are captured before go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field Service Trakker 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 Service Trakker
Customer
Pipedrive
Organization + Person
many:1Field Service Trakker stores customer name, company, phone, email, and address on a single Customer record. We split this into Pipedrive: Organization record holds company-level fields (name, domain, address), and a Person record holds contact-level fields (name, email, phone, title). Both are linked via the Organization-Person relationship.
Field Service Trakker
Work Order / Service Ticket
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Each Field Service Trakker Work Order migrates as a Pipedrive Deal. The deal name is set to the work order number or customer-plus-site reference. Pipeline and stage are mapped from the work order status (e.g., 'Scheduled' → 'Open', 'Completed' → 'Won'). Custom fields on the work order (service type, priority, parts used) migrate as Pipedrive Deal custom fields.
Field Service Trakker
Service Record / Job History
Pipedrive
Activity + Note
1:1Completed service visits and job summaries from Field Service Trakker become Pipedrive Activities (type='task') with the service description as the subject and the technician's notes as the body. Timestamps and owner assignments are preserved. Inline attachments are re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files.
Field Service Trakker
Location / Site
Pipedrive
Organization (address fields) + custom field
1:1Field Service Trakker stores multiple service locations per customer. Pipedrive Organizations hold one primary address. Secondary locations are preserved as Organization custom fields (e.g., Location_2_Address__c, Location_3_Address__c) or as separate Organization records flagged as secondary sites — your team chooses the approach before migration.
Field Service Trakker
Technician / Field Worker
Pipedrive
User
1:1Pipedrive Users are matched to Field Service Trakker technicians by email. If a technician has no email in the source, FlitStack creates a placeholder User record or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Pipedrive User permissions and visibility groups must be configured manually after migration.
Field Service Trakker
Equipment / Asset
Pipedrive
Organization custom field or Product
1:1Field Service Trakker equipment records (make, model, serial number, installation date) have no native Pipedrive equivalent. We migrate them as Organization-level custom fields or as Pipedrive Products linked to the deal — your admin decides the preferred layout before migration runs.
Field Service Trakker
Service Agreement / Contract
Pipedrive
Deal (custom fields)
1:1Service agreement terms (contract start/end date, SLA tier, billing frequency) migrate as custom fields on the Deal. Pipedrive has no native contract management object. If contract documents exist as attachments, they re-upload to Pipedrive Files linked to the associated Organization.
Field Service Trakker
Invoice / Billing Record
Pipedrive
Note or Activity
1:1Field Service Trakker invoices and payment history have no direct Pipedrive object. We migrate invoice metadata — such as invoice number, amount, date, and payment status — as a Note attached to the Organization record, and we optionally store the invoice ID in a custom text field for quick lookup. Supporting PDF invoices are re‑uploaded as Pipedrive Files linked to the same Organization. Ongoing financial reconciliation should be performed in an accounting system after migration.
Field Service Trakker
Parts / Inventory Line Item
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Parts and inventory items in Field Service Trakker map to Pipedrive Products, preserving unit price, description, SKU, and cost or stock data. Products can be linked to Deals via the deal‑product association, giving Pipedrive users visibility into service parts on each deal, and allowing the same product to appear across multiple deals for recurring service scenarios. We map them to Pipedrive Product Categories to keep reporting tidy.
Field Service Trakker
Custom Object (e.g., Permit, Inspection)
Pipedrive
Custom field or Note on Organization
1:1Field Service Trakker custom objects vary per account. We map each to Pipedrive Organization-level or Deal-level custom fields with matching types (text, number, date, dropdown). If a custom object has a one-to-many relationship (e.g., multiple inspections per work order), we preserve it as a comma-separated value list in a custom field.
Field Service Trakker
Tag / Category
Pipedrive
Organization Tag or Person Tag
1:1Field Service Trakker tags — such as service category, technician skill tag, and region — migrate as Pipedrive Organization Tags, enabling segmentation and filtered reporting across accounts. Tags attached to individual contacts are transferred as Person Tags, maintaining contact-level categorization. Pipedrive's tag system is flat, so nested hierarchies from the source are flattened into single-level tags, and your team may choose to simulate hierarchy by using naming conventions or prefix patterns.
Field Service Trakker
Estimate / Quote
Pipedrive
Deal (products + value)
1:1Field Service Trakker estimates map to Pipedrive Deals, storing the estimate number, estimated value, and any expiry date as custom fields on the Deal, while the line‑item products are linked via the deal‑product association. The estimate status (accepted, rejected, revised) is mapped to the corresponding Pipedrive deal stage, and any discount or tax information is preserved in additional custom fields to keep the full pricing context in Pipedrive.

Migration approach
Audit Field Service Trakker data model and export all records via API
FlitStack connects to Field Service Trakker using your API credentials and exports all record types: Customers, Work Orders, Service Records, Technicians, Locations, Equipment, Service Agreements, Invoices, and any custom objects. We validate record counts against your account's reported totals, flag records with missing required fields (e.g., customers with no email), and identify duplicate records that should be merged before import. The export runs in read-only mode — your team continues working in Field Service Trakker throughout.
Build Pipedrive custom fields and configure pipelines before data lands
FlitStack delivers a Pipedrive setup checklist specifying every custom field to create (name, type, options), every pipeline and stage to configure, and every tag taxonomy to pre-build. Your Pipedrive admin creates these before the migration runs. Pipedrive custom fields cannot be created as part of the import — this step must complete first. We provide a CSV template for bulk custom-field creation if your account has more than 20 custom fields.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice of records — spanning Customers, Work Orders, Service Records, and custom objects — migrates to your Pipedrive sandbox or staging account first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff with your admin to confirm: custom field mapping is correct, owner resolution by email matched the right Pipedrive Users, pipeline and stage values map as expected, and no data was silently truncated. No records commit to production until you sign off.
Execute full migration with staged batch commits and delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates in sequenced batches — Organizations and Persons first (to establish the contact hierarchy), then Deals, then Activities and Notes. Pipedrive's token-based rate limits govern batch pacing; FlitStack handles 429 responses with exponential backoff. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the final batch captures any records created or modified in Field Service Trakker during cutover. The audit log records every operation, and rollback to the pre-migration snapshot is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected gaps.
Deliver migration report, export-field map workbook, and rebuild reference documents
FlitStack delivers a migration completion report: record counts by object, records migrated vs. skipped, duplicate merges applied, and any records that failed validation with root-cause notes. The field-mapping workbook documents every source-field to destination-field mapping with transformation notes. For Pipedrive workflows and automations, we export a JSON/YAML definition file from Field Service Trakker (if available) that your Pipedrive admin can use as a rebuild reference for Pipedrive Automations and Sequences.
