Overview
Pro-Sales CRM and Pipedrive share a similar lightweight, sales-first data model: Contacts map to People, Companies map to Organizations, Deals map to Deals, and Activities map to Activities. The migration is structurally straightforward at the object level, but the absence of a custom object API in Pipedrive means that any custom fields on Pro-Sales CRM records that reference non-standard entities must be flattened into text fields or dropped with explicit customer sign-off. We inspect the Pro-Sales CRM field list during discovery, create equivalent custom fields in Pipedrive for each migratable property, and preserve tag assignments as Pipedrive labels. Activity history migrates with timezone normalization applied from the Pro-Sales CRM export. Attachments do not migrate because Pro-Sales CRM's export path for file attachments is not confirmed in available API documentation. Workflows, automations, and sequence cadences are not migratable code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Pro-Sales 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.
Pro-Sales CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Pro-Sales CRM Contacts map directly to Pipedrive People. Name, email, phone, company association, lifecycle stage, and owner migrate as standard fields. We map the company association to a Pipedrive Organization lookup by matching the organization name or domain from the Pro-Sales CRM Company record. Custom fields on the Contact object migrate as Pipedrive custom fields on the Person entity.
Pro-Sales CRM
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Pro-Sales CRM Company records map to Pipedrive Organization. Address, industry, and company size fields migrate to the equivalent Pipedrive Organization fields. Organization is created before the related Person import so that the organization_id lookup is satisfied at Person insert time. If the customer's Pro-Sales CRM has multiple addresses per Company, we flag this during scoping and the customer decides whether to create multiple Organizations or store the full address list in a text custom field.
Pro-Sales CRM
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Pro-Sales CRM Deals map to Pipedrive Deals with a stage mapping table applied before import. We extract the active pipeline configuration from Pro-Sales CRM (stage names and probability weights) and create matching stages in the destination Pipedrive pipeline before migration. Deal value and close date migrate directly. Lost and won status maps from Pro-Sales CRM's closed-stage flags to Pipedrive's status field.
Pro-Sales CRM
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
lossyPro-Sales CRM allows custom stage names and per-stage probability weights that vary by customer configuration. We extract the active stage list during discovery, map each stage name to a Pipedrive stage with the same probability percentage, and create any missing stages in the destination pipeline before Deal import begins. Stage ordering is preserved to match the Pro-Sales CRM pipeline layout.
Pro-Sales CRM
Activity (Call Log)
Pipedrive
Activity (Call)
1:1Pro-Sales CRM call log entries map to Pipedrive Activity records with activity_type = Call. Duration, disposition, and call direction migrate to custom activity fields. ActivityDate and timestamps are normalized from the source timezone to UTC before writing to Pipedrive. The Activity is linked to the corresponding Person and Organization via the Pipedrive activity API's person_id and org_id references.
Pro-Sales CRM
Activity (Note)
Pipedrive
Activity (Note)
1:1Pro-Sales CRM note entries map to Pipedrive Activity records with activity_type = Note. The note body migrates as the activity's subject or as a note attached to the activity record. Notes linked to specific Contacts or Companies reference the corresponding Pipedrive Person or Organization ID resolved during migration.
Pro-Sales CRM
Activity (Task Completion)
Pipedrive
Activity (Task)
1:1Pro-Sales CRM task completions map to Pipedrive Activity records with activity_type = Task. Task status (complete/incomplete) maps to Pipedrive's done flag. The due date and assignee from Pro-Sales CRM migrate to the corresponding Pipedrive Activity fields. Assignee resolution uses the owner mapping table to convert Pro-Sales CRM owner IDs to Pipedrive user IDs.
Pro-Sales CRM
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
lossyPro-Sales CRM custom fields on Contacts and Deals are inspected during discovery. We create equivalent custom fields in Pipedrive before migration, matching field types where possible (text, number, date, dropdown). Pipedrive does not support custom objects, so any Pro-Sales CRM custom field that references a non-standard entity is flagged as a limitation and must be flattened to text or dropped with customer sign-off. Pipedrive's five standard entities (deal, person, organization, product, project) each have independent custom field space.
Pro-Sales CRM
Tag
Pipedrive
Label
1:1Pro-Sales CRM tag assignments on Contacts and Deals migrate to Pipedrive Labels. We preserve the tag strings as label names and apply them to the corresponding migrated records after the base object import is complete. If a Pro-Sales CRM record has multiple tags, each tag becomes a separate Pipedrive label on that record. Label color is assigned by default unless the customer specifies a color scheme during scoping.
Pro-Sales CRM
Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Pro-Sales CRM assigns a single owner per record. We extract every distinct owner ID referenced on Contact, Company, and Deal records and match by email against the destination Pipedrive user table. Any Pro-Sales CRM owner without a matching Pipedrive user is flagged and reassigned to a designated fallback user. The customer's admin provisions missing Pipedrive users before migration if the original owner should retain the records.

Migration approach
Discovery and custom field inventory
We audit the Pro-Sales CRM account to extract the full object inventory: Contact count, Company count, Deal count, pipeline stage configuration, activity volume, custom field list per object, tag taxonomy, and owner list. We confirm whether any custom objects exist that cannot map to Pipedrive's five standard entities. We review the customer's Pipedrive plan tier to confirm availability of custom fields, activity logging, and automation features. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with the confirmed custom field map, tag-to-label mapping, and any dropped or flattened objects requiring customer sign-off.
Destination schema setup and tag taxonomy
We create the Pipedrive pipeline stages matching the Pro-Sales CRM stage names and probability weights before any data import. We create any custom fields on Person, Organization, Deal, Activity, and Product that correspond to migratable Pro-Sales CRM custom fields. We define the Pipedrive label taxonomy from the Pro-Sales CRM tag list. All schema creation happens in the customer's live Pipedrive account (or Sandbox if requested) so that the customer can review custom field labels and stage names before migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Pro-Sales CRM owner referenced on Contact, Company, and Deal records and match by email against the destination Pipedrive user list. Owners without a matching Pipedrive user are held in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Pipedrive admin provisions missing users (or deactivates owners in Pro-Sales CRM if the user has left) before migration proceeds. Owner resolution is required before Deal import because Pipedrive requires a valid user_id on each Deal record.
Parent record import: Organizations first
We import Pro-Sales CRM Company records as Pipedrive Organizations first. The organization_id is required as a lookup on Person records, so Organizations must be present in Pipedrive before Person import begins. We apply the company name as the organization name, address fields as location fields, and industry and size data to any matching Pipedrive standard fields or custom fields. A reconciliation count is compared against the Pro-Sales CRM export count before proceeding.
Child record import: People, Deals, Activities
We import Pro-Sales CRM Contacts as Pipedrive People, resolving the org_id lookup from the Organization mapping. We import Deals with stage_id resolved from the stage mapping table, org_id from the Organization mapping, and person_id from the Person mapping. Activities (calls, notes, tasks) import last, linked to their parent Person and Organization records. Tags from Pro-Sales CRM are applied as Pipedrive labels after the base object import completes. All timestamps are normalized from Pro-Sales CRM's export timezone to UTC.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Pro-Sales CRM writes during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every Pro-Sales CRM automation and workflow with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Pipedrive automation equivalent. We do not rebuild Pro-Sales CRM workflows as Pipedrive automation rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. We support a three-day post-cutover window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
