Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from PipeRun CRM de Vendas to Freshsales requires navigating a platform that has no publicly documented REST API, meaning data extraction depends entirely on CSV exports coordinated directly with the customer. PipeRun organizes its data around multiple simultaneous Funnels with independent stage definitions; Freshsales uses a standard Pipeline model with Stages. We map each PipeRun Funnel to a separate Freshsales Pipeline, preserving the original stage order and values. The CSV import process uses title-based deduplication on the source side, so we prepend a unique ID prefix to every record title before import to prevent silent duplicate creation. We migrate Contacts, Companies/Accounts, Deals, Activities, Proposals, and Custom Fields, and we deliver a written inventory of PipeRun automations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales.

Leaving

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

What's pushing teams away

  • CSV import is unreliable — it uses title-based deduplication instead of ID matching, causing duplicate records or silent failures when deal names change or repeat.
  • Reporting is described as confusing and limited, making it difficult for managers to get clean pipeline forecasts or activity dashboards without manual export work.
  • The platform lacks a publicly documented REST API, making programmatic integrations and automated data pipelines difficult to build and maintain.
  • Some users report that too many steps and options in the UI create cognitive overload, especially for smaller teams that do not need the full feature set.
  • International users find the platform difficult because documentation, support, and integrations are primarily targeted at the Brazilian domestic market.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How PipeRun CRM de Vendas objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a PipeRun CRM de Vendas object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Contatos (Contacts)

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun Contacts map directly to Freshsales Contacts. We extract name, email, phone, and linked Company reference from the PipeRun export. The Contact-to-Company link is resolved during import by matching the Company name to the Freshsales Account created from the corresponding PipeRun Empresa record.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Empresas (Companies)

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun Companies map to Freshsales Accounts. The Company name becomes the Account name and is used as the deduplication key during import. Address, domain, and custom field values transfer to the corresponding Freshsales Account fields. PipeRun's single-empresa-per-contact model maps cleanly to Freshsales's Contact-Account relationship.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Negocios (Deals)

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun Deals are the primary revenue object and map to Freshsales Deals. Each Deal carries a value (valor), expected close date, owner, and stage. We resolve the stage value using the Funnel stage-mapping table created during discovery and apply it as the Freshsales Deal Stage. Deal owner maps via email-match to the Freshsales User record.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Funis (Funnels)

maps to

Freshsales

Pipeline

lossy
Fully supported

Each PipeRun Funnel becomes a Freshsales Pipeline. We extract all Funnel definitions and their stage order from PipeRun's admin settings and create a stage-mapping table during discovery. Each Funnel maps to a separate Freshsales Pipeline; stages are created in the same order and named to match the source. Pipeline creation is done before any Deal import to satisfy the pipeline assignment requirement. Note: multiple pipelines are available on Estate and Forest tiers; Starter tier has a single pipeline.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Atividades (Activities)

maps to

Freshsales

Task or Event

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) map to Freshsales Tasks and Events. We preserve the activity type, timestamp, description, and owner. Long free-text note content may need truncation to fit Freshsales field limits. Each Activity record is linked to its parent Contact or Deal via the Freshsales contact_id or deal_id foreign key resolved at migration time.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Propostas (Proposals)

maps to

Freshsales

Deal (via Notes and Attachments)

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun native proposals with line items and ICP-Brasil electronic signature are exported as documents. The proposal content, line items, and signature status are exported from PipeRun and re-attached to the corresponding Freshsales Deal as a Note with an attachment link. Customers should confirm whether Freshsales's higher-tier Quote functionality (available from Blossom) is needed to replace the proposal workflow; we document this as a post-migration configuration decision.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Campos Personalizados (Custom Fields)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

PipeRun custom fields on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities are exported with their values. Field types (text, date, dropdown, currency) are mapped to the closest Freshsales custom field type during schema design. We pre-create the destination custom field definitions in Freshsales before importing data so that values are written to the correct fields on first insert.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Usuarios / Proprietarios (Users / Owners)

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

PipeRun Users are extracted by email address and matched to Freshsales User accounts. The customer provides the destination Freshsales User list during scoping. Any PipeRun Owner without a matching Freshsales User is held in a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before Deal and Activity import resumes.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Tags / Etiquetas

maps to

Freshsales

Tag

lossy
Fully supported

PipeRun tags applied to Deals and Contacts are exported as tag values. Freshsales supports native tagging on Contacts and Deals. We import tags as Freshsales Tags, preserving the original tag names. If a customer uses tags for segmentation rather than labeling, we recommend a multi-select custom field as an alternative during scoping.

PipeRun CRM de Vendas

Anexos / Arquivos (Attachments)

maps to

Freshsales

Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Files linked to PipeRun Deals or Proposals are batch-downloaded from the web interface and re-associated to the corresponding Freshsales Deal record as attachments. File naming preserves the original PipeRun record identifier for traceability. Very large attachment sets (over 500 files) may require a multi-session batch approach.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No REST API forces manual CSV extraction from PipeRun

    PipeRun has no publicly documented REST API for programmatic data extraction. We coordinate with the customer to generate CSV exports from the web interface for Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and Proposals. This requires the customer's active participation to navigate the export screens and verify completeness before we begin the import pipeline. Any export errors or truncated records must be corrected at the source before the Freshsales import proceeds, adding a manual coordination step not present in API-based migrations.

  • CSV import deduplication requires ID-prefix workaround

    PipeRun's CSV export uses title-based identifiers internally, and Freshsales's import also applies title-based matching by default. We prepend a unique migration ID prefix to every record title before import to prevent silent duplicate creation or overwrites when record names repeat across Funnels or have been renamed since the export date. Without this step, identically named Deals silently collapse into one record during import.

  • WhatsApp conversations from PipeRun MAX are not exportable

    WhatsApp conversations managed through PipeRun MAX (the Chrome extension) are stored in PipeRun's messaging layer and are not included in standard exports. Only metadata such as conversation timestamps and participant identifiers are recoverable. We flag this upfront so the customer knows the conversation history will not migrate. We recommend archiving WhatsApp chat exports separately before migration begins if conversation history is business-critical.

  • PipeRun automations (acoes automaticas) do not migrate

    PipeRun's workflow automation rules are platform-internal triggers and cannot be exported in a portable format. We do not migrate them. We document every active automation rule (trigger, conditions, actions) in a written inventory so the customer's Freshsales admin can rebuild them using Freshsales Workflows (available from Blossom tier). The automation rebuild is outside the migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful PipeRun CRM de Vendas to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and export planning

    We conduct a scoping call to audit the PipeRun account: Funnel count and stage definitions, Contact and Deal volumes, Activity types, custom field schemas, proposal history, and active automation rules. We confirm the PipeRun tier (Acceleration, Corporate, Enterprise) since custom field availability and automation features vary. We produce a written export checklist that the customer's PipeRun admin uses to generate complete CSV exports from all relevant objects before the migration begins.

  2. Freshsales schema design and pipeline mapping

    We design the Freshsales destination schema: custom fields created in advance of data import, Funnel-to-Pipeline mapping table built from discovery, stage values configured in Freshsales pipeline settings, and owner reconciliation list prepared. If the customer uses Freshsales Blossom or higher, we also design any custom fields needed to capture Proposal content from PipeRun. Schema is configured in Freshsales before any data import to ensure field targets exist at insert time.

  3. CSV preparation and ID-prefix injection

    We receive the customer-generated CSV exports and preprocess them: deduplication check against existing Freshsales data, ID-prefix injection on all record titles to prevent import collisions, field mapping applied to align PipeRun column names to Freshsales field API names, and Activity records split into Task and Event CSVs based on activity type. Any malformed rows are flagged for customer correction before import.

  4. Owner and account reconciliation

    We extract every distinct Owner referenced in the PipeRun exports and match by email against the Freshsales User list. Owners without a matching Freshsales User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Accounts (from PipeRun Companies) are imported first so that Contact imports can resolve the Account lookup at insert time.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from PipeRun Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Deals (with Pipeline, Stage, and OwnerId resolved), Activities (Tasks and Events via CSV import with parent-record lookup), Proposal documents re-attached as Deal notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The CSV-only extraction method means each object type is imported as a separate batch against Freshsales's import API.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation inventory delivery

    We freeze PipeRun writes during cutover and run a delta import of any records modified during the migration window. We deliver a written inventory of every PipeRun automation rule (trigger, conditions, actions) with a recommended Freshsales Workflow equivalent. We do not rebuild automations as Freshsales Workflows inside the migration scope. We support a three-day hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team post-cutover.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 3,000 Deals with a single Funnel and no complex custom field schemas. Migrations with multiple simultaneous Funnels, high Activity counts (over 200,000 records), or large proposal histories move to seven to ten weeks. The CSV-only extraction method and the need for customer-coordinated exports add time relative to API-based migrations.
