Migrate from Gripp to Pipedrive

Gripp Assets map to Pipedrive Organizations. Each Asset record carries equipment metadata (make, model, serial number, location, QR-code identifier) that we transfer to Organization custom fields in Pipedrive. Asset name becomes Organization name. The Asset's service history and current status (active, decommissioned) are preserved as custom fields on the Organization. Gripp's asset-to-location hierarchy flattens into the Organization address fields.

Gripp Assets with active service contracts or maintenance agreements map to Pipedrive Deals. The Deal title references the Asset name and service type. Pipeline and stage are configured in Pipedrive before migration to represent service contract lifecycle (Proposal, Active, Renewal, Expired). Asset custom fields are linked to the Deal via custom Deal fields for reference.

Gripp Issues are field reports filed against specific Assets. We map Issue body and status to a Pipedrive Note attached to the relevant Organization or Deal, with the original Issue priority and reporter attribution preserved in Note metadata. High-priority Issues (critical, high) also generate a Task in Pipedrive to ensure follow-up. Issue timestamps are preserved as the Note creation date.

Gripp Issues with status Open or In Progress generate Pipedrive Tasks with the Issue title as the Task subject and the original Asset linked as a Note attachment on the Task. Closed Issues with no outstanding action migrate as Notes only. This split ensures open service requests have a Task assignee in Pipedrive while historical reports are preserved as Notes.

Gripp Inspections are structured maintenance check records with checklists and completion dates. We map Inspection results to Pipedrive Notes attached to the Organization representing the inspected Asset. The Note body contains the checklist items and pass/fail status. Completion date and inspector attribution are preserved in Note metadata fields. Pipedrive's native checklist feature can be enabled on the Note for admin reference after migration.

Gripp Service Intervals define recurring maintenance schedules (oil changes, seasonal checks, mileage-based service). We convert each Service Interval into a Pipedrive Task with a due date matching the next-due date from Gripp. The recurring nature is documented as a Note on the Task for the admin to configure as a Pipedrive Recurring Task post-migration. Last-completed date migrates as the Task completion timestamp. Service Interval description migrates as Task subject and body.

Gripp Teams represent organization members with roles. We map each Gripp Team member to a Pipedrive User by email address. Role assignments (admin, technician, manager) map to Pipedrive User permission roles. Gripp's language preference (English or Spanish) is preserved as a custom User field. Active members are provisioned as active Pipedrive Users; inactive members are set to inactive with a Note indicating the original Gripp status.

Gripp Conversations are threaded team messages attached to Assets or Issues. We map Conversation message bodies, timestamps, and author attribution to Pipedrive Notes attached to the relevant Organization or Deal. The thread structure is flattened into a single Note with messages ordered chronologically in the body. Author attribution is preserved in the Note header. Pipedrive does not support threaded conversations natively, so the flattened format preserves all context without losing content.

Gripp's Company object (if present in the customer's instance) maps to Pipedrive Organization. Gripp Company name becomes Organization name, address maps to Organization address fields, and any contact information attached to the Company maps to Person records linked to the Organization.

Gripp Assets frequently have customer-defined custom fields for equipment-specific data (fuel type, tank capacity, implement type, year purchased). We map these to Pipedrive custom fields on the Organization object before migration. Field type matching is done during scoping: text fields map to Pipedrive text, numeric fields to number or currency, date fields to date. Custom fields must be created in Pipedrive before the migration import runs.

Gripp Assets may have attached documents (manuals, inspection certificates, registration documents). We migrate these as Pipedrive Files attached to the Organization record representing the Asset. Document filename and upload date are preserved. Pipedrive's file size limit (30 MB per file) applies; documents larger than this are flagged for manual re-upload.
