Overview
InTouch CRM organizes data around contacts, companies, and deals with a simplified pipeline model suited to small teams. Pipedrive structures sales around Deals as the central entity with explicit Pipeline and Stage configuration, Organizations as separate company records, and People as contacts linked to organizations via org_id. This architectural shift means InTouch's company-contact relationships must be decomposed into Pipedrive's People-Organizations model, and InTouch pipeline stages must map to Pipedrive's stage definitions per pipeline. We extract InTouch data via API and CSV export, normalize the entity graph, create corresponding Pipedrive custom fields for InTouch-specific properties, and load through Pipedrive's Bulk API with owner resolution by email match. Workflows, email templates, and automation logic in InTouch do not migrate — we export those definitions as rebuild reference for your Pipedrive admin. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified during cutover, and audit logging tracks every operation. Original timestamps and owner assignments are preserved throughout the migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a InTouch 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.
InTouch
Contact (Person)
Pipedrive
Person
1:1InTouch contacts map directly to Pipedrive People. The primary company from InTouch becomes the org_id on the Pipedrive Person record, linking each contact to its corresponding Organization. If a contact has no company assignment in InTouch, it is imported as a standalone Person record without an org_id. All original InTouch identifiers are preserved in a custom Source_ID__c field for traceability and subsequent delta runs.
InTouch
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1InTouch companies translate to Pipedrive Organizations. Company name maps to Organization name, domain to the website field, and address components (street, city, state, postal code, country) populate the Organization address block. Parent-child hierarchies present in InTouch are reproduced using Pipedrive's Parent Organization field, preserving the corporate structure. All InTouch company IDs are stored in a custom Source_ID__c field for reference and de-duplication during incremental loads.
InTouch
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1InTouch deals map to Pipedrive Deals. The deal name becomes the Deal title, amount maps to value, and the InTouch stage name maps to a Pipedrive stage_id within the target pipeline. Owner resolution happens via email match to Pipedrive users.
InTouch
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
1:1Each InTouch pipeline is replicated as a Pipedrive Pipeline. Before loading deals, we create the pipeline in Pipedrive, configure its stages with order and probability values, and set any stage-specific settings. During deal migration, InTouch stage names are mapped value-by-value to the created Pipedrive stage IDs, ensuring each deal lands in the correct pipeline and stage. This pre-creation step prevents missing stage references and allows deal placement from the start.
InTouch
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
1:1InTouch stage names are mapped value-by-value to Pipedrive stage names within the target pipeline. Each InTouch stage's probability percentage is transferred to the corresponding Pipedrive stage probability setting where available; if the probability data is missing, default values are applied and can be adjusted later. This mapping preserves the original deal progression logic and ensures that deal forecasting reflects the historical stage distribution after migration.
InTouch
Activity (Call/Email/Task)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1InTouch logged calls, emails, and tasks migrate as Pipedrive Activities with matching type (call, email, task). Original timestamps, due dates, and owner assignments are preserved. Activities linked to specific deals in InTouch connect to the corresponding Pipedrive Deal via deal_id.
InTouch
Meeting
Pipedrive
Activity (Meeting)
1:1InTouch meetings map to Pipedrive Activities with type='meeting'. The meeting's start time, end time, location, and attendee list from InTouch are recorded in the corresponding Pipedrive Activity fields, preserving the full scheduling details. After migration, you can reconnect Google Calendar or Outlook integrations in Pipedrive to enable live two-way sync for new meetings, while historical meeting data remains intact within the Activity timeline.
InTouch
Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1InTouch notes attached to contacts, companies, or deals become Pipedrive Notes linked to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record. Rich-text formatting—such as bold, italic, bullet lists, and hyperlinks—is preserved where InTouch supports it, ensuring visual hierarchy and embedded links remain readable in Pipedrive. Plain-text notes are loaded directly into the Note content field. All notes retain their original creation timestamps and owner assignments for a complete audit trail.
InTouch
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1InTouch custom fields require pre-creation in Pipedrive before migration. We map field types (text, number, date, picklist) to equivalent Pipedrive field types. Pipedrive assigns hash-based keys on creation — we capture these and use them for subsequent data loads. Picklist values are mapped value-by-value.
InTouch
Tag / Label
Pipedrive
Label
1:1InTouch tags applied to contacts, companies, or deals become Pipedrive Labels. Labels exist per entity type in Pipedrive (Person Labels, Organization Labels, Deal Labels) and are color-coded for visual filtering. Multi-value tags on a single record become multiple Label assignments in Pipedrive.
InTouch
Owner / User
Pipedrive
User
1:1InTouch users and deal owners are matched to Pipedrive users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite the user to Pipedrive first or assign records to a designated fallback owner. User-specific settings (notifications, visibility) require post-migration configuration in Pipedrive.
InTouch
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
File
1:1InTouch file attachments associated with contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded from InTouch and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files, where they are linked to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record. The original file names, sizes, and upload dates are preserved to maintain document history. InTouch file size constraints are respected during extraction, and Pipedrive's storage limits per plan are observed after load, with optional bulk storage upgrades if needed.

Migration approach
Audit InTouch data and define Pipedrive target schema
We connect to InTouch via API (or CSV export if API access is limited) and inventory all People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, and Notes. Custom fields are catalogued with their types and pick-list values. Pipedrive pipelines and stages are mapped against InTouch pipeline configurations, and any custom fields that don't have direct Pipedrive equivalents are flagged for custom field creation. This audit produces the migration scope document and field mapping workbook before any data moves.
Create Pipedrive custom fields and pipelines before data loads
Before migration begins, we create all required Pipedrive custom fields using the Pipedrive API, capture the generated hash-based field keys, and configure pipeline/stage structures. Pipedrive pipelines are created to match InTouch pipeline configurations with stage order and probability values defined. This ensures the schema is ready when data loads begin — no field key mismatches or missing pipeline references during migration.
Load Organizations first, then People with org_id resolution
Load Organizations first, then People with org_id resolution. Pipedrive requires Organizations to exist before People can be linked by org_id, so we migrate all InTouch Companies as Organizations first, preserving the original InTouch identifier in a custom Source_ID__c field. After Organizations are committed, we import InTouch Contacts as People, resolving each contact's primary company to the matching Organization via the stored InTouch company reference. Contacts that have no associated company are loaded as standalone People records; any unresolved org_id references are flagged for admin review and assigned to a placeholder Organization or left unlinked pending confirmation.
Migrate Deals with pipeline and stage mapping
Migrate Deals with pipeline and stage mapping. Each InTouch deal is imported as a Pipedrive Deal, using the Pipedrive Bulk API to batch-load records efficiently. The deal title, value, and expected close date map directly, while the InTouch pipeline and stage are resolved to the corresponding Pipedrive pipeline_id and stage_id. Owner resolution matches the InTouch owner identifier to a Pipedrive user by email, creating a fallback assignment for any unmatched owners. The original InTouch deal identifier is stored in a custom Source_ID__c field for delta-run de-duplication, and all deal-activity links are preserved using the activity-person_id and activity-deal_id associations.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit. Before executing the full data load, we select a sample of records—typically 100 to 500 entries covering People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, and Notes—and perform a trial migration into a staging Pipedrive environment. The sample is then compared field-by-field against the source InTouch data, verifying that custom field mappings, stage assignments, owner resolutions, and org_id links are correct. Any discrepancies trigger a mapping adjustment and a second sample run. After you review the validated sample in Pipedrive, we proceed with the full migration, confident that the field transformation logic has been verified.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit logging
The full migration runs against Pipedrive's Bulk API with rate limit management and retry logic. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in InTouch during the cutover period. Audit logs record every operation including record counts, error instances, and fallback assignments. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation against the InTouch source reveals discrepancies exceeding acceptable thresholds.
