Overview
Lime Go and Pipedrive share a visual pipeline orientation and Nordic market presence, but the platforms differ fundamentally in API maturity, integration ecosystem, and automation depth. Lime Go organizes data around Customers, Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities with a built-in read-only Nordic company enrichment database of 3.7 million records. Pipedrive uses Organizations, Persons, Deals, and Activities with its own contact enrichment layer. We migrate the full CRM record hierarchy (Customers, Contacts, Deals, Activities, Tasks, History Notes, Documents, Tags, GDPR consent) with parent-lookup resolution and custom field recreation in Pipedrive before production data moves. Lime Go's undocumented API requires us to combine its built-in CSV export with conservative API extraction using generic HTTP authentication, which extends timelines compared to platforms with published REST endpoints. Workflows, automations, and saved filters do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder.
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 Lime Go 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.
Lime Go
Customer
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Lime Go Customers map directly to Pipedrive Organizations with a 1:1 relationship. We preserve all standard fields (name, address, phone, website), custom fields, tags, and the owner assignment. The Customer's unique identifier is preserved in a custom field lime_customer_id__c for audit and cross-reference. GDPR consent flags and anonymisation status migrate as custom fields on the Organization because Pipedrive stores consent at the Person level by default.
Lime Go
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Lime Go Contacts map to Pipedrive Persons with full field fidelity including name, email, phone, title, and custom properties. We link each Person to its parent Organization via the Person-Organization relationship resolved at migration time. GDPR consent flags (granted, withdrawn, timestamps, consent type) migrate as custom fields on the Person record to preserve the compliance timeline in Pipedrive.
Lime Go
Nordic Company Database (enriched)
Pipedrive
Organization (enrichment)
lossyLime Go's built-in Nordic company database of 3.7 million records is a read-only enrichment layer licensed to Lime Go, not user-owned CRM data. It does not migrate as standard Organization records. We extract these as enrichment context records and flag them separately during scoping so customers understand that prospecting enrichment data persists only if the destination CRM has its own enrichment provider (Pipedrive's AI-powered data enrichment or a third-party enrichment tool) or they retain Lime Go for that purpose.
Lime Go
Sales Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
lossyLime Go's pipeline configuration—stage names, stage order, probability percentages, and visual layout—transfers to Pipedrive Pipeline as a configuration step before Deal migration. Each Lime Go stage maps to a Pipedrive stage within the same Pipeline, preserving probability settings. Multiple Lime Go pipelines map to multiple Pipedrive pipelines for multi-line-of-business accounts.
Lime Go
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Lime Go Deals map to Pipedrive Deals with a 1:1 relationship. We preserve deal title, value, expected close date, owner, custom fields, stage assignment, and pipeline reference. Stage transitions from Lime Go (open, won, lost with reasons) transfer as Deal activities for pipeline reporting. The Lime Go deal identifier is preserved in lime_deal_id__c on the Pipedrive Deal.
Lime Go
Activity
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Lime Go Activities (calls, emails, meetings) map to Pipedrive Activities with type, subject, body, timestamp, duration, and linked Organization or Person preserved. Activity history sequences into Pipedrive's timeline view under the linked record. Email subject lines become Activity subjects; call durations and dispositions migrate to custom Activity fields.
Lime Go
Task
Pipedrive
Task
1:1Lime Go Tasks migrate to Pipedrive Tasks with assignee, due date, status, priority, and subject preserved. Task ownership resolves by matching Lime Go owner email to Pipedrive User email at migration time. Recurring tasks map as repeating Pipedrive Tasks with their recurrence pattern preserved. Batch operation limitations in Lime Go do not affect how we structure migrated Task records.
Lime Go
Reminder
Pipedrive
Task or Activity
1:1Lime Go Reminders attach to Contacts, Customers, or Deals and map to Pipedrive Tasks or Activities depending on the reminder type and linked record. We preserve the reminder timestamp, notification context, and linked Organization or Person reference. Reminders without a clear Pipedrive equivalent become Tasks with a custom type field lime_reminder_type__c.
Lime Go
History Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Lime Go History Notes migrate to Pipedrive Notes linked to the parent Organization, Person, or Deal via ContentDocumentLink. We preserve the full note text, author name, timestamp, and any attachments. Note authorship is stored in a custom note_author__c field because Pipedrive Notes do not have a native author field. Large attachments are extracted and linked as Files.
Lime Go
Document
Pipedrive
File
1:1Documents and attachments stored in Lime Go are extracted and linked as Pipedrive Files attached to the corresponding Organization, Person, or Deal record. We preserve file names, upload timestamps, and content. Files exceeding Pipedrive's storage limits are linked via external URL reference or stored in the customer's designated cloud storage with a link recorded in Pipedrive.
Lime Go
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
lossyLime Go tenant-specific custom fields on Customers, Contacts, and Deals are discovered during scoping and recreated in Pipedrive before any data loads. Field types (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select) map to their Pipedrive equivalents. Any custom fields without a direct Pipedrive type equivalent are flagged during scoping with a recommended resolution—either a custom field type in Pipedrive or a note explaining the limitation.
Lime Go
Tag
Pipedrive
Tag
lossyTags stored as flat label arrays on Customers, Contacts, and Deals in Lime Go transfer to Pipedrive Tags using the Tag API endpoint. Tags used for segmentation map as-is; tags used for content classification are documented as Pipedrive Label alternatives if the customer prefers a label-based taxonomy in Pipedrive. Tag strategy is confirmed during scoping.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Lime Go environment across all objects (Customers, Contacts, Deals, Activities, Tasks, History Notes, Documents), record volumes per object, custom field schema, pipeline configuration, owner assignments, and GDPR consent records. Because Lime Go lacks a published public API with documented rate limits, we also map the available extraction path—built-in CSV export for standard objects and manual harvesting for History Notes and Reminders. We pair this with a Pipedrive plan assessment to confirm which plan tiers are needed for the customer's custom field and enrichment requirements.
Pipedrive schema setup
Before any data moves, we configure the destination Pipedrive environment: create all custom fields matching the Lime Go tenant schema, configure Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages to match Lime Go's pipeline layout, set up Organization and Person custom fields for GDPR consent flags, and configure the Pipedrive API credentials and sandbox access for migration testing. Pipedrive schema setup happens in a dedicated test workspace first and moves to production only after customer sign-off.
Sandbox validation and mapping workbook
We run a full migration into Pipedrive's test environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts across all object types, spot-checks migrated records against Lime Go source data, and reviews the field mapping workbook we deliver as the migration source of truth. Any corrections to field mapping, custom field type conversions, or pipeline stage assignments happen at this stage. This step prevents mapping errors from reaching production data.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Lime Go user referenced as an owner on Customers, Contacts, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the destination Pipedrive User table. Any Lime Go owner without a matching Pipedrive User enters a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record migration resumes. Pipedrive recommends inviting users before migration starts; if migration begins before user setup, all records default to the initiating user.
Production migration in dependency order
We migrate in record-dependency sequence: Pipedrive Users (validated), Organizations (from Lime Go Customers), Persons (from Lime Go Contacts with OrganizationId resolved), Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages (from Lime Go pipeline configuration), Deals (with PipelineId, StageId, OrganizationId, and OwnerId resolved), Activities (emails, calls, meetings via Pipedrive Activity API), Tasks, History Notes (as Pipedrive Notes), and Documents. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. GDPR consent records migrate as custom fields on Person and Organization records.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Lime Go writes during cutover, run a final delta migration for records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Lime Go workflows, automations, and saved filters requiring rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder. We support a one-week post-migration window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Lime Go workflows as Pipedrive automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
