Overview
Kursaha is a marketing automation platform built around Campaigns, Contacts, and multi-channel delivery (mail, WhatsApp, SMS). Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM built around People, Organizations, Deals, and Activities. The two platforms share minimal schema overlap—Kursaha's Campaign-centric model maps to Pipedrive's Deal-centric model, and audience segments require reconstruction as Pipedrive filters. We do not migrate Kursaha's analytics event history or integration configurations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild. The migration runs on CSV exports from the Kursaha dashboard because no public API is documented. We resolve Person duplicate prevention using email-based matching, map campaign metadata to Deal custom fields, and create Pipedrive Users from Kursaha owner records by email resolution. Workflows, sequences, and automation rules are not migrated as code; we document them for admin rebuild.
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 Kursaha 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.
Kursaha
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Kursaha Contact records map to Pipedrive Person. Standard fields (name, email, phone, company) map directly. Behavioral properties and lifecycle stage data from Kursaha migrate to custom fields on Person (we create custom fields with the type-matching Pipedrive field type during schema setup). Email address serves as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate Person records on import. Phone number and address fields migrate to Pipedrive's labeled phone and address fields.
Kursaha
Campaign
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Kursaha Campaign records map to Pipedrive Deal. Campaign name becomes Deal title, campaign status maps to Deal status (open/closed won/closed lost), and campaign start/end dates migrate to Deal custom date fields. Channel assignments (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) from the Campaign record are preserved as a custom multi-select field or note on the Deal. Since Deals require a Person or Organization link in Pipedrive, we link each Deal to the primary Contact from the campaign's audience.
Kursaha
Audience Segment
Pipedrive
Filter or Custom Field
lossyKursaha audience segments are defined by filter rules against contact properties. Pipedrive does not have an equivalent audience segment object; instead, we reconstruct segment logic as Pipedrive filters on the Person list view. Complex multi-condition segments may require simplification or a mapping document for the customer to rebuild as saved filter views. We document the original segment definition rules in the migration workbook for admin reference.
Kursaha
Channel
Pipedrive
Activity (Note or Email)
1:1Kursaha Channels (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) are linked to campaigns rather than stored as independent records. We preserve channel associations as Notes attached to the corresponding Deal (mapped from the Campaign) describing the channel used and its configuration. Channel-specific templates do not migrate as reusable templates; we extract template text content and store it as Note body for reference.
Kursaha
Template
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Kursaha templates for each channel (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) include content and styling. We extract template text content and basic HTML structure and store it as a Pipedrive Note attached to a reference Deal or as a standalone Note tagged with the template type. Advanced AMP markup and interactive elements are flagged as requiring rebuild in the destination platform's template tool. Template metadata (name, channel type, last modified) is preserved as Note title and custom fields.
Kursaha
User Account
Pipedrive
User
1:1Kursaha user accounts and role assignments (admin, editor, viewer) map to Pipedrive User records. We resolve by email match between the Kursaha owner email on each record and the Pipedrive User email field. Any Kursaha user without a matching Pipedrive User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the migration begins. Role hierarchy from Kursaha maps to Pipedrive's admin and regular user permissions.
Kursaha
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1If Kursaha exports include company or organization data linked to Contacts, those records map to Pipedrive Organization. Organization name maps to name, domain maps to website, and any company-level custom properties migrate to custom fields on Organization. The Organization is created before Person import so that the OrganizationId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Person insert.
Kursaha
Analytics Events
Pipedrive
Not migratable
1:1Kursaha's real-time analytics and campaign engagement metrics (opens, clicks, conversions) are computed by the platform's processing layer and are not exported as discrete records. We do not migrate analytics event history. Customers expecting campaign performance history to carry over should capture screenshots of dashboards before cutover. Reporting must be re-established in Pipedrive's native Insights tool or a connected analytics platform post-migration.
Kursaha
Integration Configurations
Pipedrive
Not migratable
1:1Kursaha integrations with third-party tools (forms, CRM, analytics) are configuration-level settings that do not carry over during migration. Each integration must be reconfigured independently in Pipedrive using its native integrations or Zapier connections. We provide a written inventory of detected integrations during discovery so the customer's admin knows what requires rebuild.
Kursaha
Custom Properties
Pipedrive
Custom Fields
lossyKursaha contact-level and campaign-level custom properties migrate to Pipedrive custom fields on the corresponding object (Person or Deal). We create custom fields during schema setup using Pipedrive's field type system (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select) matched to the source data type. Custom properties with complex data structures (arrays, nested objects) are flattened to text fields or serialized as JSON in a text custom field.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Kursaha gotchas
No public API documentation complicates automated migration
Analytics and behavioral event data are not exportable
On-premise deployment complicates data retrieval
Pipedrive gotchas
Custom field hash keys differ per account
Export access gated by visibility groups
Token-based API rate limits since December 2024
Sequences and Automations not exposed via REST API
Cost escalates via workflow caps and add-ons
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export capability confirmation
We audit the source Kursaha account for data object inventory (Contacts, Campaigns, Segments, Templates, Users), confirm which dashboard exports are available at the customer's tier, and verify whether the account is cloud SaaS or on-premise. We also identify any known integration configurations and custom properties used in the account. This step produces a written discovery document confirming what can and cannot be exported, which shapes the migration scope and timeline. Any export limitations discovered at this stage are disclosed before the customer commits.
Source data extraction and pre-migration data audit
We request CSV exports from the Kursaha dashboard for each migratable object. We run a data audit against the exported files: checking for duplicate email addresses on Contacts, orphaned Campaign records with no linked Contacts, empty required fields, and inconsistent date formats. We clean or flag records that would cause import failures in Pipedrive and provide the customer with a data quality report. Any analytics screenshots or campaign performance reports the customer wishes to preserve are captured at this stage.
Pipedrive schema setup and custom field creation
We configure the destination Pipedrive account before any data import. This includes creating Pipedrive custom fields to receive Kursaha custom properties (with field types matched to source data), setting up Deal custom fields for Campaign metadata, and configuring pipeline stages that reflect the customer's sales process. We also create the Pipedrive User records for each migrating team member, matching by email against the Kursaha owner list. If the customer has a specific pipeline structure in mind, we configure that here in a Sandbox or staging environment first.
Record migration in dependency order with dedupe enforcement
We import data into Pipedrive in record-dependency order: Organizations first (if company data is present), then Persons with OrganizationId resolved, then Deals linked to Persons. We apply email-based dedupe matching on Person imports and title-plus-owner dedupe on Deal imports to prevent duplicate records. Campaign metadata maps to Deal custom fields. Template text content migrates as Notes attached to the corresponding Deal. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Activity and template content migration
Channel associations and template content (text, HTML, subject lines) migrate as Notes attached to the relevant Deals. We do not migrate analytics event history or campaign performance metrics. We deliver a written analytics capture guide instructing the customer on which dashboards to screenshot before cutover. We also deliver an integration inventory documenting every detected third-party connection in the source account for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Kursaha writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We deliver a reconciliation report comparing record counts in the source CSV against record counts in Pipedrive for each object type. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record linkage issues or missing fields reported by the customer's team. We deliver a written automation inventory documenting every detected workflow, sequence, or campaign automation in Kursaha for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's workflow tools. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope.
