Overview
Moving from Promio to Pipedrive is a migration from a bundled marketing automation and managed ad-service stack into a sales-focused CRM. Promio's data model centers on Leads, Campaigns, and Customers with lifecycle segmentation labels tied to a revenue-attribution reporting layer. Pipedrive has no native campaign attribution object, so we map campaign name, budget, and performance metrics as custom fields on the associated Deals and People records so teams retain their attribution context. The migration begins with a formal CSV export request to Promio's support team because Promio publishes no public API. Call recordings, landing pages, and ad account credentials are non-portable; we include these as pre-flight checklist items in the scope document. We do not migrate automations, drip sequences, or landing page configurations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Promio 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.
Promio
Lead
Pipedrive
Person or Lead
1:manyPromio Leads with source attribution, call-tracking metadata (call duration, disposition, recording link if available), and campaign source data migrate to Pipedrive Person records. Promio Leads with no associated Deal migrate as Pipedrive Lead inbox records. We resolve the split by checking whether a Promio Lead has a linked Campaign with closed revenue; if so it maps to a Person with an Organization link; if not it maps as a pre-deal Lead in Pipedrive's Lead Inbox.
Promio
Customer
Pipedrive
Person + Organization (linked)
1:1Promio Customer records map to Pipedrive Person records with a lookup to a corresponding Organization (created from Promio's company-level data or inferred from the Customer's email domain). The primary lookup is satisfied before Person import begins to avoid orphaned records. Promio lifecycle segmentation labels (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) migrate as a custom picklist field lifecycle_stage__c on the Person record for post-migration segmentation and reporting.
Promio
Customer Lifecycle Stage
Pipedrive
Person.custom.lifecycle_stage__c
lossyPromio classifies Customers into lifecycle segments as custom properties tied to its attribution layer. We preserve these labels as a Pipedrive custom picklist field on Person with values New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, and Lost. The custom field is created in Pipedrive before any Person import begins. Teams use this field to segment Pipedrive reporting views and automation triggers without losing the intelligence embedded in Promio's segmentation model.
Promio
Campaign
Pipedrive
Deal (custom fields)
lossyPromio campaigns bundle advertising channels (Google, Bing, Display) with budget allocations and performance metrics tied to revenue outcomes. Pipedrive has no native campaign attribution object. We map campaign name, channel, associated budget, and key performance metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions, attributed revenue) as custom fields on the associated Pipedrive Deal record. This preserves the Promio attribution context in the CRM without requiring a separate marketing analytics platform to retain the data.
Promio
Call Recording
Pipedrive
Not migrated (out of scope)
1:1Promio stores call audio files on its own hosting infrastructure. These files are not included in CSV exports and cannot be retrieved via API. We flag this as a migration hard stop: customers must download all required call recordings directly from Promio's interface before the cutover date. We cannot migrate these post-cutover. We include this item in the pre-flight checklist that the customer's admin signs off on before we begin data import into Pipedrive.
Promio
Advertising Account
Pipedrive
Not migrated (out of scope for CRM)
1:1Google Ads and Bing Ads account credentials and budget allocations are linked to Promio through its managed-service credential layer but stored at the ad network level. These credentials do not transfer with CSV exports and cannot be migrated into Pipedrive's CRM. We document the current campaign structure, budget allocations, audience segments, and performance history during the extraction phase. The customer independently re-grants ad account access outside of Promio and rebuilds campaign structures directly in Google Ads and Bing after migration.
Promio
Landing Page
Pipedrive
Not migrated (rebuild required)
1:1Promio generates custom landing pages served from promio.com subdomains. These are not exportable as HTML, portable redirect configurations, or form definitions. We inventory all active Promio landing pages during the extraction phase, capturing URL, form field names, and traffic volume estimates from any available reporting. The customer receives a page-by-page rebuild requirements list as a migration artifact. Rebuild options include Pipedrive Web Forms (for form capture), the customer's own CMS, or a dedicated landing page platform.
Promio
Reputation / Reviews
Pipedrive
Person.custom_fields
1:1Promio aggregates review monitoring data from third-party sites (Google, Yelp, Facebook ratings) into its dashboard. We extract the aggregated star rating, total review count, and review site URLs as custom fields on the corresponding Pipedrive Person record: reputation_rating__c (number), reputation_review_count__c (integer), and reputation_source_urls__c (text). These fields populate Pipedrive's contact detail view and are available for filtering in list views and reports.
Promio
Custom Properties
Pipedrive
Custom Fields
lossyPromio allows custom fields on Leads and Customers tied to its campaign attribution and lifecycle systems. We inspect exported CSV headers to discover all Promio custom property names and data types, then create equivalent Pipedrive custom fields (text, number, date, picklist, or boolean) on the Person and Deal objects before import. Custom fields added after the export date are not captured; we schedule the final export as close to the cutover date as possible and recommend a second export if the migration window exceeds 30 days.
Promio
Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Promio Owner records (sales reps and managers assigned to Leads and Customers) map to Pipedrive User records resolved by email address match. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. This step is a gate on the Person and Deal import phases because OwnerId is a required reference on most standard Pipedrive objects.

Migration approach
Export request and data discovery
We submit a formal CSV export request to Promio's customer support or account management team on the customer's behalf and specify the objects required: Leads, Customers, Campaigns, and any Custom Properties visible in the Promio export interface. Simultaneously we inventory all active landing pages, call recording volumes, ad account structures, and automation workflows in Promio to build the full scope and flag out-of-scope items before the migration window opens. Promio's response time for export requests is the primary variable on the critical path.
CSV extraction validation and custom field inventory
When Promio delivers the export files, we validate completeness against the inventory created in Step 1: record counts per object, presence of expected columns, encoding quality, and any truncated fields. We document all Promio custom property names and infer their data types from the CSV header values. Any missing columns or fields that appear after the export date require a second export run. We schedule the final export as close to the cutover date as possible to minimize the gap.
Pipedrive workspace configuration
We configure the Pipedrive destination workspace before any data import. This includes creating Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages that reflect the customer's sales process (mapped from Promio campaign or deal lifecycle stages), provisioning all custom fields on Person and Deal objects to match the discovered Promio custom properties, setting up the lifecycle_stage__c custom picklist on Person with values New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, and Lost, and creating any required Users matched to Promio Owners by email. Schema configuration is validated in Pipedrive before migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive Sandbox environment using production data volume to validate the mapping, deduplication logic, and field transforms. The customer's admin reviews a sample of migrated records (typically 25-50 records per object type) against the source Promio export to confirm field-level accuracy. Any mapping corrections are documented in the field mapping workbook and applied before the production migration runs. Owner reconciliation (Promio Owner to Pipedrive User by email) is validated at this stage.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Pipedrive Users are confirmed (provisioned manually if missing), then Organizations are created from Promio company-level data or inferred from email domain, then Person records are imported with OrganizationId resolved and lifecycle_stage__c populated, then Deals are imported with custom campaign fields mapped from Promio Campaigns. Custom fields for reputation data are populated as part of the Person import. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Promio writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the Promio automation and landing page inventory document to the customer's admin team along with the ad account re-onboarding instructions. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any data reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Promio automations, drip sequences, or landing page configurations inside the migration scope; these are separate rebuilds for the customer's admin or a Pipedrive implementation partner.
