Overview
Moving from Floww.ai to Pipedrive is a migration from a non-API, hyper-flexible pipeline platform to one of the most widely adopted sales CRMs with a mature REST API and a well-documented data model. Floww.ai has no public REST API and no bulk export endpoint, so all source data extraction relies on the customer's manual CSV exports from within the platform. We coordinate those exports, validate record counts per pipeline and object, and merge multi-part CSV files where the platform imposes pagination limits. On the destination side, Pipedrive's pipeline and stage model accepts multiple concurrent pipelines with custom stages, which aligns well with Floww.ai's multi-pipeline architecture, but stage names, counts, and probability assignments require field-level reconciliation. Custom Objects with many-to-many relationships migrate as custom fields or as separate Pipedrive custom objects with label-based linking depending on the Pipedrive plan tier. Flows (automation), dashboards, and recording storage do not migrate; we deliver a written configuration inventory for each so the customer's admin can plan the rebuild in Pipedrive's Automation platform.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Floww.ai 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.
Floww.ai
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Floww.ai Contact records map directly to Pipedrive Person. Standard fields (name, email, phone, organization association) migrate 1:1. Custom Contact properties are mapped field-by-field to Pipedrive custom fields. The Contact's primary organization in Floww.ai links to a Pipedrive Organization lookup during import. We run email dedup logic at migration time to flag duplicate Person records before insert.
Floww.ai
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1Floww.ai Lead records map to Pipedrive Lead. Lead status, source, owner, and any scoring properties migrate to the corresponding Pipedrive Lead fields. If the customer's Floww.ai uses Leads primarily for unqualified prospects that flow into a pipeline later, we preserve the original Lead score in a custom field for segmentation in Pipedrive. Pipedrive Lead status values (New, Contacted, Qualified, Unqualified) are reconciled against Floww.ai's lead status definitions during scoping.
Floww.ai
Deal (Opportunity)
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Floww.ai Deals map to Pipedrive Deals. Deal value, expected close date, owner assignment, and stage history migrate. Pipedrive's deal status model (open, won, lost) aligns with Floww.ai's deal lifecycle. We map the Floww.ai deal owner email to the Pipedrive user by email match. Lost deal reasons from Floww.ai custom fields migrate to Pipedrive's lost_reason field on Deal.
Floww.ai
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
1:1Floww.ai supports multiple concurrent pipelines, each with its own stage set. Each Floww.ai pipeline maps to a Pipedrive Pipeline. We extract the live pipeline definitions including stage names, stage order, and probability percentages, and create matching Pipedrive Pipelines before any Deal records are imported. Pipedrive allows multiple active pipelines, which mirrors Floww.ai's architecture.
Floww.ai
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stage
lossyFloww.ai stage definitions (names, order, probabilities) per pipeline are extracted and mapped to Pipedrive stage entries within each corresponding Pipeline. Stage count varies per pipeline in Floww.ai (4 to 12 stages), and Pipedrive's unlimited stage model accommodates any count. Stage probabilities migrate as Pipedrive's probability percentages. Any stage without a direct Pipedrive equivalent is mapped to the nearest Pipedrive stage and flagged in the configuration inventory.
Floww.ai
Organization (Company)
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Floww.ai's company association on Contact records maps to Pipedrive Organization. Organization name, domain, address, phone, and industry fields migrate 1:1. We resolve the Organization lookup reference at Contact import time. Floww.ai organizations without linked Contacts are migrated as standalone Organization records.
Floww.ai
Activity and Task
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Floww.ai Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) and Tasks map to Pipedrive Activity records with the corresponding activity_type (call, email, meeting, note, task). We preserve the original timestamp, owner assignment, and linked Person/Deal reference. Activity type, duration for calls, and disposition notes transfer to custom Pipedrive activity fields. Bulk activity exports from Floww.ai require multiple filtered CSV runs and are merged before Pipedrive import.
Floww.ai
Custom Object
Pipedrive
Custom Object or Custom Fields
lossyFloww.ai Custom Objects with their custom properties and cross-object relationships migrate to Pipedrive Custom Objects (available on Essential plan and above) or are flattened into custom fields on the relevant standard object (Person, Organization, Deal) depending on the customer's Pipedrive plan tier and the relationship cardinality. Many-to-many relationships between Custom Objects are migrated as label-based relationship fields on the primary object or as a junction custom object in Pipedrive. We request a schema map from the customer before migration and pre-create the destination schema.
Floww.ai
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Floww.ai user accounts map to Pipedrive users by email address match. We extract every distinct owner referenced on Contact, Lead, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Pipedrive destination. Unmatched owners are flagged for the customer's admin to provision in Pipedrive before the record migration phase begins. Inactive Floww.ai users are mapped to inactive Pipedrive users to preserve assignment history.
Floww.ai
Tag
Pipedrive
Label
1:1Floww.ai tags used for segmentation migrate as Pipedrive Labels on the relevant record type (Person, Organization, or Deal). Tag names are preserved verbatim. If the customer uses tags across multiple record types, we apply them to the equivalent record types in Pipedrive and document the cross-type usage in the configuration inventory.
Floww.ai
Workflow / Flow
Pipedrive
Automation (configuration inventory only)
lossyFloww.ai Flows (workflow automation engine) are tightly coupled to the platform's runtime triggers and are not exportable as data. We do not migrate Flows. We document every active Flow by name, trigger type, conditions, and actions, and map each to a recommended Pipedrive Automation equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds Flows in Pipedrive's Automation rules builder post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and export coordination planning
We audit Floww.ai across all active pipelines, stage definitions, custom object schemas, user accounts, and record volumes. Because there is no API, we work with the customer to plan the CSV export sequence: which objects to export first, how to handle pagination limits with multi-part exports, and how to capture stage-level filter states. We produce a written migration scope document that lists every object, estimated row counts per export, and the export order required to satisfy dependency constraints (e.g., Organizations must export before Contacts so that the organization lookup can be resolved during the Contacts write pass).
Pipedrive plan review and schema provisioning
We confirm the customer's Pipedrive plan tier (Essential, Professional, or Advanced) because Custom Object availability and the number of custom fields per object vary by tier. We design the destination schema in Pipedrive: Pipelines and stages are created first, custom fields are provisioned on Person, Organization, Deal, and Lead, and Custom Objects are created with the appropriate relationship fields. Pipedrive's API or the web UI is used for schema provisioning before any data writes begin.
CSV export execution and validation
The customer runs the planned CSV exports from Floww.ai. We coordinate the export order, validate record counts against the pre-migration scope estimates, and merge multi-part CSV files where pagination limits required multiple export runs. Any export failures or missing fields are flagged and a corrected export is requested before the transform phase begins. We do not proceed to transform until we have a complete and validated source dataset.
Transform and mapping
We transform the merged CSV files into Pipedrive API-compatible payloads. Standard fields map directly. Custom fields are typed according to Pipedrive's field type model (text, number, date, single-select, multi-select, phone, email, etc.). Owner email addresses are resolved to Pipedrive User IDs. Pipeline and stage references are mapped to the Pipedrive Pipeline and Stage IDs created during schema provisioning. Relationship fields are built using Pipedrive's custom object relationship labels. The transform logic is reviewed against the customer's Pipedrive sandbox before production writes begin.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (first, as they are referenced by Persons), Users (manual provisioning validated), Leads, Persons (with OrganizationId resolved), Deals (with PersonId, OrganizationId, PipelineId, and StageId resolved), Activities (via Pipedrive API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking), Custom Objects (last, because they often have lookups to Persons, Organizations, or Deals), and Labels. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records written versus records attempted. API rate-limit responses are handled with exponential backoff per Pipedrive's documented limits.
Cutover, validation, and configuration inventory handoff
We freeze Floww.ai writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Flow inventory document, the stage filter reconstruction guide, and the Custom Object schema map to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. Workflow rebuilds in Pipedrive Automation, report recreation, and any post-migration admin training are outside standard migration scope and are quoted separately.
