Overview
PropertySimple combines real estate marketing automation with a built-in CRM layer, storing contacts (people), companies (organizations), deals, and activities with custom properties that extend across objects. Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM that uses Person for contacts, Organization for companies, Deal for pipeline items, and Activity for all engagement types — with a visual Kanban pipeline and stage-based workflow model. FlitStack AI migrates PropertySimple's standard and custom fields into Pipedrive's equivalent objects, maps PropertySimple's deal pipelines to Pipedrive pipelines with matching stage names, and routes PropertySimple leads as pre-conversion contacts into Pipedrive's Lead Inbox. We handle owner resolution by email match against Pipedrive users, re-upload attachments to Pipedrive Files, and preserve original create/update timestamps. What does not migrate: PropertySimple's automated ad campaigns, ZIP code marketing rules, AI-driven content generation, and social media posting automations — these require rebuild in Pipedrive's automation tools or third-party integrations. Our migration uses PropertySimple's API export and Pipedrive's bulk import API, with a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a PropertySimple 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.
PropertySimple
Contact (Person)
Pipedrive
Person
1:1PropertySimple contacts map directly to Pipedrive Person records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) transfer as-is. Custom properties on contacts migrate to Pipedrive custom fields on the Person object via the /personFields API endpoint. Original create timestamps are preserved as a custom field since Pipedrive's created_at is set at migration time.
PropertySimple
Company (Organization)
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1PropertySimple companies transfer as Pipedrive Organizations. Fields including name, domain/website, industry, address, and employee count map to their Pipedrive equivalents. Multi-address companies are handled by migrating the primary address and storing secondary addresses in a custom field for admin review.
PropertySimple
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1PropertySimple deals map to Pipedrive Deals with direct field transfer for name, value/amount, expected close date, and owner. Deal stage names from PropertySimple pipelines map to Pipedrive stage names within the corresponding Pipedrive pipeline. Stage probability weights transfer as Pipedrive stage probability values.
PropertySimple
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
1:1Each PropertySimple pipeline becomes a Pipedrive Pipeline. Pipeline-level settings (name, stage count, stage order) transfer directly. Pipedrive Pipelines use a visual Kanban view; stage colors transfer as Pipedrive stage color codes if configured. One PropertySimple pipeline maps to one Pipedrive pipeline with matching stages.
PropertySimple
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
1:1Stage names are mapped one-to-one from PropertySimple to Pipedrive within the corresponding pipeline. Stage probability values transfer as Pipedrive stage probability percentages. Stage order is preserved in Pipedrive's stage sequence. Custom stage names (e.g., 'Under Contract', 'Inspection Pending') map directly without transformation.
PropertySimple
Lead (Pre-deal contact)
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1PropertySimple leads with a status indicating they have not entered a deal flow transfer to Pipedrive's Lead Inbox. Leads that have email addresses and are marked as contacted convert to Persons with org associations. Uncontacted leads remain in Pipedrive's Lead Inbox for follow-up routing before conversion.
PropertySimple
Custom Property (Contact)
Pipedrive
Person Custom Field
1:1PropertySimple custom properties on contacts create Pipedrive custom fields on the Person object. This requires creating the field in Pipedrive via POST /personFields before migration. Field types (text, number, date, picklist) map to Pipedrive's supported field types. Multi-select pick-lists in PropertySimple become Pipedrive set-type fields.
PropertySimple
Custom Property (Deal)
Pipedrive
Deal Custom Field
1:1Deal-level custom properties transfer to Pipedrive Deal custom fields via POST /dealFields. PropertySimple deal custom fields (e.g., property address, listing type, referral source) create equivalent Pipedrive fields. Field options are mapped value-by-value for pick-list fields; default values apply where source values have no destination match.
PropertySimple
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1All PropertySimple activity types (calls, emails, meetings, notes) consolidate into Pipedrive's Activity object. The activity type field in Pipedrive distinguishes between call, email, meeting, and task. Original timestamps, subject lines, and body content transfer. Owner attribution maps by email match to Pipedrive users.
PropertySimple
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Files
1:1Files attached to PropertySimple contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files. Files attach to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal record using Pipedrive's file attachment API. File size limits apply (Pipedrive's default storage limits by plan). Inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted as attachments.
PropertySimple
Owner / User
Pipedrive
User
1:1PropertySimple users are resolved by email address against Pipedrive user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged in the pre-migration report; teams either invite them to Pipedrive first or reassign records to a fallback owner before migration. Owner names and roles transfer as a custom field on records for reference.
PropertySimple
Contact-Company Association
Pipedrive
Person-Organization Link
1:1PropertySimple contact-to-company associations transfer as Pipedrive Person-Organization relationship links. Each Person can have one primary Organization and multiple secondary org links. The association label (if any) from PropertySimple is preserved as a custom field on the link for admin review and potential reorganization.

Migration approach
Audit PropertySimple data export and create Pipedrive custom fields
We export a full data snapshot from PropertySimple via API, including all contacts, companies, deals, activities, leads, and custom property definitions. The export is profiled to identify: (1) total record counts per object, (2) custom property count and field types, (3) pipeline and stage names, (4) owner distribution by email. Meanwhile, we create Pipedrive custom fields on Person, Organization, and Deal via the respective API endpoints for each custom property identified in the export. Pipedrive pipelines and stages are created to match PropertySimple's pipeline structure before any data is written.
Resolve owners by email and establish fallback assignment rules
PropertySimple owner IDs are matched against Pipedrive user accounts by email address. Our migration tool generates a pre-flight owner report listing all PropertySimple owners and their Pipedrive match status. Unmatched owners are flagged — the team either creates Pipedrive user accounts for them before migration or designates a fallback owner (e.g., the admin account) for their records. Owner name and email are preserved as custom fields on migrated records so the team can review and re-assign after migration if needed.
Migrate Organizations before Persons before Deals
Pipedrive requires Organizations to exist before Persons can link to them (via the org_id field), and requires Persons to exist before Deals can link to them via deal-person links. We sequence the migration as follows: (1) Organizations first from PropertySimple companies, (2) Persons from PropertySimple contacts with org_id assignment, (3) Leads from PropertySimple unconverted leads, (4) Deals from PropertySimple deals with stage assignment, (5) Activities linked to their parent records. This foreign-key ordering ensures that Pipedrive's required reference fields are valid at insert time. Any circular or missing references are flagged and resolved before the next batch runs.
Run sample migration with field-level verification
Before the full migration, we run a sample migration covering a representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities across multiple pipelines and owners. The sample output is verified against the source data at the field level: custom field values are compared, stage assignments are confirmed, owner resolution is validated, and activity timestamps are spot-checked. We generate a field-level diff report and share it with the team for sign-off before the full migration run is scheduled.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback capability
The full migration runs against Pipedrive's bulk API with throttling configured to the team's plan limits. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs after the main migration, capturing any PropertySimple records modified during the cutover period. Each operation is logged to an audit trail. If reconciliation reveals data integrity issues, one-click rollback reverts all migrated records. After rollback confirmation, the migration can be re-run with corrected field mapping or owner assignment rules. Post-migration, we deliver a data quality report showing record counts, error rates per object, and any records requiring manual review.
