Overview
Moving from Onpipeline to Pipedrive is a platform consolidation for teams that have outgrown Onpipeline's native integration ecosystem and analytics depth. Both CRMs share a similar Deals-centric pipeline model, which makes the core object mapping (Deals to Deals, Contacts to People, Companies to Organizations) relatively direct. The migration complexity lives in the associated objects: Onpipeline's Products and Quotes map to Pipedrive's Product catalog and Sales Documents (Pipedrive's built-in document add-on), and Onpipeline's recurring revenue schedules are configuration notes rather than migratable records because Pipedrive does not have a native subscription management object. We preserve the three-part Deal-Contact-Company association throughout import, migrate calendar Events as Pipedrive Activities, and capture custom field definitions as Pipedrive custom fields. Workflows, automations, and Zapier integrations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Onpipeline 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.
Onpipeline
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Onpipeline Contacts migrate directly to Pipedrive People. The primary person fields (name, email, phone, address) map 1:1 to Pipedrive Person fields. Tags applied to Onpipeline Contacts migrate as Pipedrive person labels. Custom fields on Contact migrate to Pipedrive custom Person fields created in the destination account before import. The email field is used as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate People records during import.
Onpipeline
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Onpipeline Company records map to Pipedrive Organizations. The company name becomes the Organization name, and domain information becomes the Website field. Onpipeline's multi-Contact-per-Company relationship is preserved: all People linked to an Onpipeline Company are imported as People linked to the same Organization via the Person-to-Organization relationship in Pipedrive.
Onpipeline
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Onpipeline Deals migrate to Pipedrive Deals with value, stage assignment, and custom fields preserved. Each Deal maintains its linked Contact and optionally its linked Company through the three-part association: Pipedrive Deals can link to a Person (required) and an Organization (optional), which maps directly to Onpipeline's Contact + optional Company on a Deal. The Deal value (amount) maps to Pipedrive's weighted value field.
Onpipeline
Pipeline Stages
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stages
lossyOnpipeline's custom stage names and per-stage probability percentages map to Pipedrive Pipeline stage names and probability values. We configure Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages before migration, renaming each stage to match the Onpipeline stage hierarchy. Stage order and probability percentages transfer exactly, with rounding to Pipedrive's integer probability format.
Onpipeline
Product
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Onpipeline Products (name, SKU, price, stock quantity) migrate to Pipedrive Products. Stock quantity is stored as a custom field on Pipedrive Product since Pipedrive does not have native inventory tracking. SKU migrates as the Product code field. Products are imported before Deals so that Deal line items can reference the correct Product ID.
Onpipeline
Quote
Pipedrive
Sales Document (Document add-on)
lossyOnpipeline Quotes with line items migrate as Pipedrive Sales Documents if the customer has the Document add-on enabled. Quote headers (linked Contact, Deal, total value) map to Document fields, and line items transfer as Document line items. Pipedrive's Document add-on supports e-signature via DocuSign or HelloSign integrations. If the customer does not activate the Document add-on before migration, Quote records are stored as custom Deal fields and a written rebuild plan is delivered.
Onpipeline
Activity: Events
Pipedrive
Activity (type: Meeting)
1:1Onpipeline Events (calendar appointments with datetime, duration, assigned user, and description) migrate to Pipedrive Activities with type Meeting. The assigned user maps by email match to a Pipedrive User. Activity date and time preserve from Onpipeline. Events without a user assignment are logged under the Deal or Contact owner as the activity assignee.
Onpipeline
Activity: Tasks
Pipedrive
Activity (type: Task)
1:1Onpipeline Tasks migrate to Pipedrive Activities with type Task. Status (open, completed), due date, and priority transfer. Task descriptions become Pipedrive Activity notes. Assignments migrate by resolving the Onpipeline user to a Pipedrive User by email.
Onpipeline
Activity: Notes
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Onpipeline Notes attached to Deals or Contacts migrate as Pipedrive Notes. The note body text and creation timestamp preserve. Notes linked to both a Deal and a Contact are attached to the Deal in Pipedrive, with a reference to the linked Person in the note body. Notes with file attachments transfer the file reference as a content note link.
Onpipeline
Custom Fields
Pipedrive
Custom Fields
lossyOnpipeline custom fields on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Products migrate to Pipedrive custom fields on the equivalent objects. We extract the custom field schema (field name, type, and valid values) from Onpipeline during scoping and create matching Pipedrive custom fields before import. Text, number, date, and picklist field types map to Pipedrive field types of the same name. Multi-select picklists in Onpipeline map to Pipedrive multi-select fields.
Onpipeline
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Onpipeline Users referenced as Deal owners and activity assignees map to Pipedrive Users by email address. We run a pre-migration user reconciliation step to confirm that all Onpipeline users have corresponding Pipedrive accounts or are provisioned before record import. Any orphaned assignments (user in Onpipeline without a Pipedrive counterpart) are flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer's admin to resolve before the activity phase begins.

Migration approach
Scoping and data audit
We extract a full data inventory from Onpipeline: Contact count, Company count, Deal count, Activity volume (Events, Tasks, Notes), Product catalog size, Quote count, custom field definitions, and active user list. We ask for the trial expiration date and account status to assess data retention risk. The scoping output is a written migration scope document with record counts, object mapping table, and a timeline estimate. If the customer is on a trial account, we begin data extraction on priority before the seven-day deletion window closes.
Destination schema setup
We create the Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages to match the Onpipeline pipeline hierarchy, configure probability percentages, and create all custom fields on People, Organizations, Deals, and Products before any data import begins. If the customer has the Pipedrive Document add-on, we configure the document template structure for quote migration. We add all active Users in Pipedrive so that Owner assignments resolve at migration time. Schema setup is validated in the destination account before production migration begins.
Data cleaning and deduplication
We run a data quality pass on extracted Onpipeline records: duplicate Contacts (matching on email), orphaned Deals (Deals without a linked Contact), empty required fields, and inconsistent phone number formatting. We flag duplicates for the customer's review rather than silently merging them, since a duplicate in Onpipeline may represent a deliberate business relationship. The clean dataset is staged as CSV and validated against the mapping schema before import.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production import in the correct dependency sequence: Pipedrive Users (verified), Products (for line item reference), Organizations (from Companies), People (from Contacts with Organization linked), Deals (with Person and Organization resolved), Activities (Events and Tasks with user assigned), Notes, and custom field values. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Quote migration runs as a separate phase using the Document add-on API if enabled, or as structured Notes with a rebuild plan if not.
Cutover and validation
We freeze writes to Onpipeline during the cutover window, run a final delta import of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Pipedrive as the system of record. The customer spot-checks 20-30 records across People, Organizations, and Deals to verify field mapping accuracy. We deliver the automation and recurring revenue rebuild inventory as a written document for the customer's admin to implement post-migration. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during initial Pipedrive use.
