Overview
FieldFX is a field service management platform built as a Salesforce managed package, purpose-built for work orders, dispatch, and technician scheduling. Pipedrive is a cloud-native sales CRM with a simpler object model focused on people, organizations, and deals. The migration challenge is structural: FieldFX's Job, Work Order, Ticket, and Asset objects have no direct Pipedrive equivalents. Work Orders map to Deals with custom fields holding work order numbers, ticket statuses become activity log entries, and asset records become custom fields on the linked deal or organization. FlitStack AI audits your FieldFX schema first to identify which objects are populated, which custom fields are in use, and how relationships between records are stored. We then pre-create Pipedrive pipelines, stages, and custom fields before any data moves. Workflows, status-based sequences, and FieldFX automations do not migrate — we export the workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for Pipedrive automations or sequences. Pipedrive's token-based API rate limits require batch scheduling during large migrations. All original create dates, owner assignments, and activity timestamps are preserved via email-matched user resolution. A 24–48 hour delta pickup window captures in-flight FieldFX changes during cutover, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds unexpected gaps.
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 FieldFX 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.
FieldFX
FieldFX Job
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Deal
1:1FieldFX Job is the parent record for work orders and tickets. The Job name becomes the Pipedrive Deal name, Job total amount maps to deal value, and Job status (Pending, In Progress, Completed) maps to Pipedrive stage values. Original Job create date is preserved in a custom datetime field since Pipedrive's created_at is migration-set.
FieldFX
FieldFX Work Order
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Deal (extended)
1:1FieldFX Work Orders are linked to Jobs and contain line items, labor hours, and work type. Each Work Order becomes a Pipedrive Deal with the Work Order number stored in a custom field, work order status mapped to a deal stage, and labor/total amounts aggregated into the deal value. Work Order Line Items map to Pipedrive Deal Products. Multiple work orders per Job create multiple Pipedrive Deals linked to the same Organization.
FieldFX
FieldFX Ticket
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Activity (log entry)
1:1FieldFX Tickets are support or service records attached to a Work Order or Job. Ticket records migrate as Pipedrive Activities of type 'task' with the ticket subject as the activity subject, ticket status mapped to Pipedrive activity priority, and ticket description stored in the activity note. Original ticket number stored in a custom activity field.
FieldFX
FieldFX Customer (Account)
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Organization
1:1FieldFX Customer records sit on the Salesforce Account object. Customer name maps to Pipedrive Organization name, industry maps to Pipedrive industry (value-by-value for standard values, custom for non-matching), and address fields map to Pipedrive address fields. Parent-child customer hierarchies in FieldFX map to Pipedrive Organization hierarchy.
FieldFX
FieldFX Contact
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Person
1:1FieldFX Contact records map directly to Pipedrive Person. First name, last name, email, phone, mobile phone, and job title map field-for-field. The Contact's primary Customer (Account) lookup becomes the Pipedrive Person's linked Organization. Multiple contacts per customer map to multiple Pipedrive Persons under the same Organization.
FieldFX
FieldFX Asset
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Custom Fields on Organization
1:1Pipedrive has no native Asset object. FieldFX Asset records — equipment name, serial number, install date, warranty expiry — migrate as custom fields on the linked Pipedrive Organization. Asset status (Active, Under Maintenance, Retired) maps to a custom pick-list field. Multiple assets per customer become repeating custom field values or a structured text block.
FieldFX
FieldFX Work Order Line Item
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Deal Product
1:1FieldFX Work Order Line Items contain part number, description, quantity, and line amount. Each line item becomes a Pipedrive Deal Product entry linked to the destination Deal. Product name and description map from the line item; quantity and unit price are set from the line item fields. Tax and discount handling follows Pipedrive's product pricing model.
FieldFX
FieldFX Work Order Status
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Deal Stage
1:1FieldFX work order status values (e.g., Unscheduled, Scheduled, En Route, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled) require value-by-value mapping to Pipedrive stage names. The mapping is defined during the pre-migration schema review. Probability and forecast category are re-applied based on Pipedrive's stage configuration.
FieldFX
FieldFX Custom Object
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Custom Fields / Activities
1:1FieldFX custom objects and their fields migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the nearest equivalent object (Deal, Person, or Organization). N:N relationships in FieldFX require flattening in Pipedrive since junction objects are not available — the migration plan surfaces these cases for your team to choose between a custom text block or activity log approach.
FieldFX
FieldFX User / Owner
Pipedrive
Pipedrive User
1:1FieldFX owner assignments on Job, Work Order, Ticket, and Contact map to Pipedrive User by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Pipedrive or assigns their records to a fallback user. This is the only owner resolution mechanism; FieldFX role-based assignments do not map to Pipedrive's visibility group model.
FieldFX
FieldFX Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Activity
1:1FieldFX records technician calls, emails, and meetings linked to Work Orders or Tickets. These map directly to Pipedrive Activities — call type = 'call', email type = 'email', meeting type = 'meeting' — with original timestamps and owners preserved. Call recordings do not export due to Pipedrive API restrictions. Email exports are limited to records from active users who have shared their email data.
FieldFX
FieldFX Attachment / File
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Activity Note / File link
1:1Pipedrive does not have a native file attachment object. FieldFX file attachments on Work Orders or Tickets are preserved by downloading and re-uploading to Pipedrive's activity notes or linking via URL in a custom field. Large files (over Pipedrive's per-file limit) require alternative storage with the link recorded in Pipedrive.

Migration approach
Audit FieldFX schema and data volume
FlitStack AI connects to your FieldFX instance via the Salesforce API and inventories all objects in use — Jobs, Work Orders, Tickets, custom objects, Assets, and Activity history. We count records per object, identify custom fields and their data types, and map the relationship graph between records. This audit determines the migration scope, the custom field creation plan for Pipedrive, and the batch scheduling requirements given Pipedrive's API rate limits. The audit output is shared with your team before any migration work begins.
Pre-create Pipedrive pipelines, stages, and custom fields
Before data moves, FlitStack creates the Pipedrive pipelines, stage names, and custom fields that FieldFX data will map into. Work order status values become Pipedrive stage names, work type becomes a deal custom field, and asset data gets custom fields on the Organization. Pipedrive's API keys for each custom field are retrieved after creation and stored for use in field mapping. If Pipedrive's hash-based field keys have already been created manually, FlitStack reads them and uses the existing configuration. This step requires your Pipedrive admin credentials or a dedicated API token with write access.
Resolve FieldFX owners to Pipedrive users by email
FieldFX stores owner assignments on every record. FlitStack matches FieldFX owner email addresses against Pipedrive user email addresses. Matching users are assigned directly; unmatched owners are flagged with their record counts so your team can decide whether to invite those users to Pipedrive or reassign their records to a fallback user before migration. No record migrates without a resolved Pipedrive owner — orphan records are held and reported, not silently assigned to a system user.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning Organizations, Persons, Deals (Work Orders), and Activities. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source FieldFX values against the destination Pipedrive records. Your team verifies work order-to-deal mapping, ticket-to-activity translation, value aggregation, and owner resolution before the full run commits. This is the validation gate: if the sample diff shows unexpected gaps, the mapping plan is adjusted before scaling to full volume.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback
Full migration runs in batched API operations, with throttling tuned to Pipedrive's rate limits. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens after the initial run to capture any FieldFX records created or modified during the cutover. An audit log records every operation — record ID, source value, destination value, timestamp, and user. If reconciliation finds unexpected gaps, one-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive state to the pre-migration snapshot so your team can investigate and re-run without data corruption.
