Migrate from Pipedrive to monday CRM

Pipedrive Persons (name, email, phone, address, custom fields) map to Monday.com CRM People records via the native People column integration. We preserve the email address as the primary identifier, resolve duplicate Person records by email match before insert, and carry forward all Pipedrive custom field values to Monday column types (text fields, number fields, date columns, dropdown columns, checkbox columns). Pipedrive's visibility group scoping applies during extraction; we scope the migration to records the exporting admin account can access and flag any exclusions in the pre-flight report.

Pipedrive Organizations (company name, domain, address, custom fields) map to Monday.com CRM Items on a Companies board. The board uses Groups to separate company records and columns for each organization field. We preserve the organization domain as a text column and link Person records to the parent organization via Monday's relation column if the customer enables the People integration. Organization-level tags migrate as Monday labels.

Pipedrive Deals map to Monday.com CRM Items on a Pipeline board. The Pipedrive pipeline stage name becomes a Monday Group label (e.g., 'Qualified', 'Proposal Sent', 'Closed Won', 'Closed Lost'), preserving the visual pipeline layout. Deal value, expected close date, owner, and associated Person and Organization links transfer to corresponding columns. Closed-Loss reasons stored as Pipedrive custom fields migrate to a Monday dropdown column.

Pipedrive Leads (a separate record pool from Deals, introduced in Pipedrive's newer UX) are assessed at scoping. If the destination Monday.com CRM workspace uses a separate Leads board, Leads migrate as CRM Items with a Lead Status column tracking qualification state. If the customer prefers a unified pipeline, Leads merge into the main Pipeline board with a Lead Status group and converted Items moved into the Deal pipeline groups. We determine the strategy during discovery based on the customer's current lead-to-deal flow.

Pipedrive Activities (tasks, calls, meetings, notes) attach to Deals, Persons, and Organizations. We migrate them as Monday.com Subitems linked to the parent CRM Item (Deal or Organization), with columns capturing activity type, due date, completed status, assigned owner, and content. Call disposition, meeting location, and note body migrate to text or number columns as appropriate. Pipedrive's activity type dropdown (call, meeting, task, note) maps to a Monday Status column on the Subitem.

Monday.com CRM has no native product catalog equivalent to Pipedrive's standalone Products object. We design a custom Products board during the configuration phase with columns for product name, SKU (mapped from Pipedrive's hs_sku), unit price, and description. Product-Deal associations (line items) require a separate approach: we either add a Product relation column to the Pipeline board and store deal-product pairs as relation links, or create a Deal Products sub-board. We advise the customer on the trade-off during discovery.

Pipedrive assigns each custom field a 40-character hash key unique to each account. We read the hash-to-label mapping from the source account's API response, resolve human-readable field names, determine the appropriate Monday column type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, link, location), and map values accordingly. The same field name in two Pipedrive accounts produces different hash keys; our extraction process handles per-account hash resolution so custom field data lands in the correct Monday columns without silent drops.

Each Pipedrive pipeline becomes a Monday.com CRM board. Pipedrive pipeline stage names become Group labels within the board, preserving stage order and deal distribution across groups. If the customer has multiple Pipedrive pipelines (e.g., separate sales and renewal pipelines), each becomes a separate Monday board, and we configure a Dashboard to aggregate across boards for leadership visibility.

Pipedrive Users (the team members assigned as owners of records, deals, and activities) map to Monday.com workspace members by email match. We extract every distinct owner_id referenced across Deals, Activities, and Organizations, match by email against the destination Monday workspace, and hold unmapped owners in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Owner role and permission structures do not migrate because Pipedrive and Monday.com have different permission models.

Pipedrive tags are string labels applied to Persons, Organizations, and Deals. We migrate tags as Monday.com labels on the corresponding CRM Items. Tags that apply across multiple entity types (e.g., a tag on both a Person and a Deal) are preserved as separate label entries on each migrated item.
