Overview
Moving from NetHunt CRM to Pipedrive is a structural migration that requires remapping NetHunt's folder-based record organization into Pipedrive's pipeline and stage model. NetHunt stores all records within Folders and exposes them via per-folder API queries; Pipedrive uses Organizations, Persons, Deals, and Activities as its core objects with pipelines and stages managed as configuration rather than folder containers. We enumerate every accessible NetHunt folder during discovery, map each folder's record types to Pipedrive's object model, and preserve custom field schemas by recreating equivalent Pipedrive custom fields before any data inserts. NetHunt Workflows do not export via API and cannot be migrated; we document every active workflow as a written handoff for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates to Pipedrive's Activity object with type and duration preserved. Tags from NetHunt migrate as Labels in Pipedrive.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a NetHunt CRM 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.
NetHunt CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1NetHunt Contacts migrate to Pipedrive Persons. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. NetHunt's custom fields on Contact records translate to Pipedrive custom fields on the Person object. We create the custom field schema in Pipedrive before inserting any Persons. The NetHunt contact-to-company linkage (stored as a company_id property) migrates as the Pipedrive org_id on Person after the Organization records are created.
NetHunt CRM
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1NetHunt Leads are distinct from Contacts in NetHunt's data model and migrate to Pipedrive's Lead object. Lead-specific lifecycle stage fields map to Pipedrive's Lead status field with a custom field preserving the original NetHunt lifecycle value for audit. Pipedrive's Lead object exists separately from Person, which allows teams to keep unqualified prospects as Leads before conversion to a Person-Organization relationship.
NetHunt CRM
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1NetHunt Company records map to Pipedrive Organizations. The Company name becomes the Organization name, and domain or website data migrates to the Organization's address and website fields. Organizations must be created before Person records to satisfy the org_id Lookup on Person. NetHunt folder-based company records are extracted per folder during enumeration and merged by domain into a deduplicated Organization list.
NetHunt CRM
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1NetHunt Deals migrate to Pipedrive Deals with stage, value, responsible user, and expected close date preserved. NetHunt's pipeline assignment maps to Pipedrive's pipeline field on the Deal. The Deal-to-Contact linkage in NetHunt (a deal can have multiple linked Records) maps to the Person and Organization links on the Pipedrive Deal. Custom fields on the NetHunt Deal record recreate as equivalent Pipedrive custom deal fields.
NetHunt CRM
Folder
Pipedrive
Pipeline
lossyEach NetHunt Folder containing Deals maps to a Pipedrive Pipeline. Folder-level stage configurations translate to Pipedrive Stage entries within the pipeline. We extract the stage name, probability percentage, and stage order from NetHunt and create equivalent Pipedrive stage definitions. Multiple NetHunt folders may map to a single Pipedrive pipeline if the customer consolidates during migration; this is a configuration decision made during scoping.
NetHunt CRM
Activity (email, note)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1NetHunt email and note engagements attached to Contacts or Deals migrate to Pipedrive Activity records with type=email or type=note. The content body migrates as plain text with HTML stripped. Activity assignment (owner) resolves via email match to the Pipedrive User. The parent record (Person, Organization, or Deal) link is preserved via Pipedrive's deal_id, person_id, and org_id fields on the Activity.
NetHunt CRM
Call Log
Pipedrive
Activity (type=call)
1:1NetHunt call logs migrate to Pipedrive Activity records with type=call. Duration, direction (inbound/outbound), disposition notes, and timestamp migrate to the equivalent Pipedrive activity fields. Call recordings referenced in NetHunt migrate as attachment URLs on the Activity, with a note flagging that Pipedrive's native call recording storage is not enabled by default and requires a VoIP integration to activate.
NetHunt CRM
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
lossyNetHunt custom fields vary by folder, so we capture the field definition (name, type, options, required flag) for each folder during discovery. Each custom field recreates as an equivalent Pipedrive custom field on the corresponding object (Person, Organization, Deal, or Lead). NetHunt field types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) map to Pipedrive field types (varchar, int, date, enum, checkbox). Pipedrive's field type constraints require matching the source field type before migration to avoid rejection on insert.
NetHunt CRM
Tag
Pipedrive
Label
1:1NetHunt tags on Records migrate to Pipedrive Labels on the corresponding object (Person, Organization, or Deal). Tags are simple string values migrated as-is. We flag any tags that may conflict with existing Pipedrive Labels and resolve duplicates by appending a numeric suffix where needed. Labels in Pipedrive can be assigned across multiple object types, matching NetHunt's cross-record tagging behavior.
NetHunt CRM
Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1NetHunt Owners (assigned to Contacts, Companies, and Deals) resolve by email match to Pipedrive Users. During scoping, we extract every distinct Owner email and verify a corresponding Pipedrive User exists or will be provisioned before migration. Owners without a match go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin. This step gates the Deal migration because OwnerId is required on Pipedrive Deals.
NetHunt CRM
Attachment (linked URL)
Pipedrive
Attachment (URL reference)
1:1NetHunt attachments stored in linked services (such as DocHub integrations) migrate as URL references attached to the corresponding record in Pipedrive. We do not download and re-upload file content unless the source URL remains publicly accessible post-migration. We flag any NetHunt-integrated attachment sources that may lose access after the migration cutoff, so the customer can provision alternative document management before go-live.
NetHunt CRM
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
lossyNetHunt stage names, probabilities, and ordering from each folder's pipeline configuration map to Pipedrive Stage entries. Probability percentages round to Pipedrive's stage probability field. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost statuses in NetHunt map to Pipedrive's StageClosedWon and StageClosedLost flags on the respective stage.

Migration approach
Discovery and folder enumeration
We authenticate to NetHunt CRM via the REST API using the customer's API key and enumerate every accessible Folder, capturing folder names, folder-level custom field schemas, and the record type distribution within each folder. We also extract Owner list, tag taxonomy, and pipeline definitions. This step produces the complete data inventory that drives all subsequent mapping decisions and migration estimates.
Pipedrive schema setup
We create the Pipedrive pipeline and stage structure based on the NetHunt folder-to-pipeline mapping defined during discovery. Custom fields on each NetHunt folder are recreated as equivalent Pipedrive custom fields on the corresponding object (Person, Organization, Deal, or Lead) with matching field types. We configure Lead status values to accommodate the NetHunt lifecycle stage split. Pipedrive's Settings > Data fields page handles custom field creation before any data import begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct NetHunt Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the Pipedrive destination account's User table. Any NetHunt Owner without a matching Pipedrive User enters a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Migration cannot proceed past this step because Pipedrive requires a valid OwnerId on Deal records.
Production migration in dependency order
We run migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from NetHunt Companies), Persons (with org_id resolved after Organizations), Leads (with lifecycle-stage split applied), Deals (with Person and Organization links resolved, owner assigned), Activities (calls, emails, notes via batched API inserts with parent record Lookups), Labels (applied post-insert to avoid partial labeling). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and Workflow handoff
We freeze writes in NetHunt during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the NetHunt Workflow inventory document to the customer's Pipedrive admin. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. Workflow rebuilds in Pipedrive Automation Rules are outside standard migration scope and are an admin task or separate engagement.
Post-migration validation
We validate migrated data against the scoping inventory: record counts per object, spot-checks of custom field values on 25-50 random records per object type, and verification that Activity timelines are linked to the correct parent records. We confirm that Labels are present on tagged records and that Owner assignments match the NetHunt source. Any discrepancies are resolved in a corrective pass before the hypercare window closes.
