Overview
Moving from RAYNET CRM to Pipedrive is a structural migration that requires resolving the Person-Organization relationship, which is handled differently across both platforms. RAYNET stores Contacts and Accounts as separate linked objects; Pipedrive treats Persons and Organizations as the equivalent pairing. We resolve that relationship at import time by linking each Person to the correct Organization via the Account cross-reference stored in RAYNET. RAYNET's Map Analysis feature auto-derives GPS coordinates from contact addresses; Pipedrive does not have native geolocation, so we preserve those coordinates as custom address fields for geographic use cases in the destination. Automation rules, including RAYNET's Builder and Architect workflow triggers, are platform-specific and do not export; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation so the customer's admin can rebuild them in Pipedrive's Automation framework. Pipedrive's API rate limits (burst limits of 20-120 requests per 2-second window depending on tier) govern chunking strategy during migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a RAYNET 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.
RAYNET CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1RAYNET Contact records map to Pipedrive Person. Standard fields (first name, last name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. RAYNET lifecycle stage property migrates as a custom picklist field on Person for audit continuity. If the RAYNET Contact has an associated Account, we link the Person to the corresponding Organization at migration time using the account_id cross-reference stored in RAYNET.
RAYNET CRM
Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1RAYNET Account records map to Pipedrive Organization. The account name, address fields, and shipping/billing addresses migrate directly. Organization is imported before Person records so that the Organization ID lookup is satisfied at the moment of Person insert, preventing orphaned Person records without an Organization link.
RAYNET CRM
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1RAYNET Deal records map to Pipedrive Deal. Deal name, value, probability, estimated close date, and owner migrate directly. Pipeline stage from RAYNET maps to Pipedrive Pipeline stage via the stage name. We check whether RAYNET is on a tier with single or multiple pipelines; multiple RAYNET pipelines require multiple Pipedrive Pipeline configurations, which we set up before Deal import.
RAYNET CRM
Deal Stage
Pipedrive
Pipeline Stage
lossyEach RAYNET pipeline stage (name, order, probability percentage) is extracted from the pipeline configuration and mapped to a Pipedrive Pipeline Stage with matching probability. Pipedrive allows unlimited stages per pipeline; if RAYNET had fewer stages, we pad with Pipeline Stages configured as inactive placeholders for historical alignment.
RAYNET CRM
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
lossyMultiple RAYNET pipelines (ENTERPRISE tier only) map to multiple Pipedrive Pipelines. Each Pipedrive Pipeline is created before Deal import and assigned a name matching the RAYNET pipeline label. If the customer is on RAYNET START or PROFESSIONAL (single pipeline only), we create one Pipedrive Pipeline and map all Deals into it.
RAYNET CRM
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1RAYNET Activity records (calls, emails, meetings) map to Pipedrive Activity. Call duration, email subject and body, and meeting timestamps migrate directly. We link Activities to the migrated Person and Organization records by resolving the RAYNET contact_id and account_id references at migration time. Custom activity types require value mapping against Pipedrive's allowed activity types.
RAYNET CRM
Sales Order
Pipedrive
Custom Deal Fields
1:1RAYNET Sales Order records (Subject, Final Price, Status, Estimated Costs, Delivery Date, Shipping/Billing address) do not have a direct Pipedrive equivalent object. We map these to a combination of Deal custom fields and notes. Sales Order subject becomes a Deal title prefix; price, status, and delivery date migrate as custom fields on the linked Deal record.
RAYNET CRM
Quote
Pipedrive
Custom Deal Fields + Note
1:1RAYNET Quote records with line items, validity dates, and pricing do not have a native Pipedrive equivalent. We map Quote header fields (validity dates, total price) to Deal custom fields, and line items to a structured Note attached to the Deal. If the customer uses Pipedrive's Smart Docs add-on for contracts post-migration, we flag Quote records as candidates for Smart Doc recreation.
RAYNET CRM
GPS Coordinates (Map Analysis)
Pipedrive
Custom Address Fields
lossyRAYNET's Map Analysis feature auto-derives GPS latitude and longitude from contact addresses. Pipedrive does not have native geolocation. We preserve these coordinates as two custom fields (latitude and longitude as decimal number fields) on the Organization record. Customers can use these fields for map visualization via Pipedrive marketplace apps or external BI tools.
RAYNET CRM
Tag
Pipedrive
Person/Organization Label
lossyRAYNET Tags on Contacts and Deals migrate as Pipedrive Person Labels or Organization Labels (depending on object association). Labels in Pipedrive are a flat tagging system without hierarchy; if RAYNET tags had hierarchical parent-child relationships, we flatten them to a label array or prefix the tag name with the parent.
RAYNET CRM
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1RAYNET User accounts with role assignments and deal ownership map to Pipedrive User records. We resolve owners by email match against the Pipedrive destination. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before record import resumes.
RAYNET CRM
Attachment
Pipedrive
Note with File Attachment
1:1Files attached to RAYNET Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities are exported via RAYNET's XLSX export and re-associated to the correct records in Pipedrive using record ID cross-references. Large attachments (over 10 MB) are flagged for alternative transfer (S3 bucket handoff) since Pipedrive's file attachment API has size constraints.

Migration approach
Discovery and source schema audit
We audit the RAYNET CRM account across tier (START/PROFESSIONAL/ENTERPRISE), object inventory (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Activities, Sales Orders, Quotes), custom field schema per object, active pipeline configurations, automation rules inventory, and attachment volume. We pair this with a Pipedrive plan decision: Essential ($14/user) covers basic migrations; Advanced ($29/user) is required for Automation; Professional ($49/user) and above for Smart Docs, AI features, and multi-currency. The discovery output is a written migration scope and Pipedrive plan recommendation.
Pipedrive account provisioning and pipeline configuration
We provision the Pipedrive account (or validate an existing one) with the correct plan tier, set up Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages matching the RAYNET pipeline configuration, and create the custom field schema in Pipedrive before any data import. GPS coordinates from RAYNET Map Analysis are configured as custom decimal fields on Organization. Tags from RAYNET are set up as Person and Organization Labels. This step is completed in a staging environment or parallel Pipedrive account for validation before production migration.
Data quality assessment and cleanup
We extract record counts and sample data quality indicators from RAYNET (duplicate email addresses, missing required fields, orphaned Deals without Account links, empty custom fields). Data quality issues are flagged in a written report with a cleanup recommendation. We clean obvious duplicates (exact email matches) before import but do not perform comprehensive deduplication unless scoped separately. Poor data quality is the primary cause of migration failures; we address it before import, not after.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct RAYNET User referenced on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the Pipedrive destination's User list. Users without a matching Pipedrive account go to a reconciliation queue. The customer admin provisions missing Pipedrive Users before migration resumes. Owner mapping cannot proceed past this step because Pipedrive Activities require a valid OwnerId.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from RAYNET Accounts), Persons (from RAYNET Contacts with Organization links resolved), Deals (with Organization lookup satisfied, orphaned Deals linked to placeholder Organizations), Activities (Calls, Emails, Meetings with Person and Organization lookups resolved), Sales Orders and Quotes (as Deal custom fields and Notes), Tags (as Person and Organization Labels), Attachments (via XLSX export re-association). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Automation inventory handoff and cutover
We freeze RAYNET CRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the automation audit document listing every active RAYNET Automation rule with its trigger, conditions, and actions and a recommended Pipedrive Automation rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild RAYNET automations as Pipedrive automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
