Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from RollWorks Account-Based Platform to Pipedrive is a structural migration that separates your ABM advertising motion from your sales CRM. RollWorks lives in an orchestration layer above the CRM, so all Account List, Journey Stage, and engagement data originates from your connected Salesforce or HubSpot instance. We extract from that CRM layer rather than the RollWorks platform itself, preserving Account List membership, Journey Stage values, and AdRoll aggregated metrics (Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, Page Views) as custom fields on Pipedrive Organizations and Deals. Website domain is the primary dedupe key for Organizations. We do not migrate Workflows, Sequences, or automation definitions as code; we deliver a written inventory of every RollWorks Workflow with a recommended Pipedrive Workflow equivalent for your admin to rebuild. Advertising creative, live campaign spend data, and ABM scoring models require separate handling post-migration.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Leaving

RollWorks Account-Based Platform logo

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

What's pushing teams away

  • Filter selection and segmenting abilities are repeatedly cited as limited, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint — teams needing granular audience builds outgrow the platform's segmentation.
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging the ABM product into the broader AdRoll advertising brand, which creates confusion for teams that selected RollWorks specifically for its standalone ABM positioning.
  • Pricing opacity and the sales-driven quote process push teams toward competitors with published pricing or self-service tiers, especially at the lower end of mid-market.
  • Visitor identification stays at the company level, not person level — teams needing individual contact attribution for ad targeting must layer in a separate contact-level tool.
  • Advanced ABM capabilities in competing platforms (6sense predictive buying stages, Demandbase account-based web personalization) outpace RollWorks for enterprise-tier requirements.

Choosing

Pipedrive logo

Pipedrive

What's pulling them in

  • Clean drag-and-drop pipeline interface with minimal learning curve, making it approachable for small sales teams without dedicated CRM admins.
  • Visual deal tracking keeps reps focused on next actions — activities, calls, and follow-up tasks surface directly in the pipeline view.
  • Strong integrations via Zapier and native marketplace apps let teams wire Pipedrive into Calendly, ActiveCampaign, and similar sales-stack tools.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android keep field reps connected to deals, contacts, and tasks without a desktop session.
  • Reputation and review volume — over 3,000 verified reviews across G2 and Capterra — signal reliability for teams evaluating CRM options.

Object mapping

How RollWorks Account-Based Platform objects map to Pipedrive

Each row shows how a RollWorks Account-Based Platform 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.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account List

maps to

Pipedrive

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks Account Lists are the primary organizing object and contain target accounts built from CRM fields, CSV import, or the platform's ICP matching engine. Each Account List member maps to a Pipedrive Organization. We use the Account's Website domain as the dedupe key for matching and import, and we preserve the Account List name(s) that each Organization belonged to as a custom Organization field of type multiselect or as Pipedrive Tags linked to the Organization.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account Group

maps to

Pipedrive

Tag (Organization-level)

lossy
Fully supported

Account Groups are collections of Account Lists used to segment campaigns and reporting in RollWorks. They map to Pipedrive Tags applied at the Organization level, preserving group membership hierarchy so that the customer can segment Pipedrive Organizations by their original Account Group structure. If Account Groups have nested hierarchies, we flatten them into a dot-notation tag convention (e.g., Tier1.Enterprise.NorthAmerica) to preserve the full path.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Journey Stage

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field (Organization + Deal)

lossy
Fully supported

Journey Stages are derived from CRM field values ingested through the Salesforce or HubSpot integration and represent the account's stage in the ABM funnel (e.g., Unaware, Aware, Marketing Qualified, Sales Qualified, Opportunity, Customer). Pipedrive has no native Journey Stage equivalent, so we create custom dropdown fields on both Organization and Deal records with stage values matching the RollWorks Journey Stage taxonomy. The stage values transfer as labels; probability percentages from RollWorks become informational custom number fields if available.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Aggregated Account Data (Salesforce Custom Object)

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field (Organization)

1:1
Fully supported

The adroll__RollWorks_AccountData__c custom object in Salesforce surfaces AdRoll fit, intent, engagement, and advertising data linked to Salesforce Accounts. We extract these metrics and map them to custom number fields on the corresponding Pipedrive Organization: adroll_spend__c, adroll_impressions__c, adroll_clicks__c, adroll_conversions__c, adroll_page_views__c, and adroll_fit_grade__c. Website domain is the lookup key between the Salesforce Account and the RollWorks data record. We validate domain normalization (removing prefixes and suffixes per AdRoll's documented rules) during extraction to ensure matching accuracy.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Aggregated Contact/Lead Data (Salesforce Custom Object)

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field (Organization or Person)

1:1
Fully supported

The adroll__RollWorks_ContactLead__c Salesforce object aggregates per-contact advertising data (Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, Page Views) linked to Contacts and Leads. We extract these metrics and map them to custom fields on the corresponding Pipedrive Person record, or to a rolled-up aggregate on the Person's parent Organization if individual-level attribution is not needed. The lookup resolves via email match between the Salesforce Contact/Lead and the Pipedrive Person.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Hot Contacts / Discovered Contacts

maps to

Pipedrive

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Hot Contacts in RollWorks are deanonymized web visitors pushed to the CRM as Leads or Contacts via workflow actions. We migrate the contact assignment (name, email, phone, job title, company name) to Pipedrive Person records. The website domain of the person's company links to the corresponding Organization. Note: RollWorks visitor identification is company-level only, not person-level; individual contact data comes from RollWorks' contact database enrichment, not from actual website visitor identification.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Deal / Opportunity

maps to

Pipedrive

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks associates Deals with Accounts via the connected Salesforce or HubSpot CRM. We extract Opportunity records from the connected CRM and map them to Pipedrive Deals, preserving deal name, value, stage (mapped to Pipedrive Pipeline Stage), expected close date, and owner. Pipeline structure in RollWorks maps to Pipedrive Pipelines and Stages; we create the Pipeline in Pipedrive during schema setup before migration begins.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Sales Insights / Account Spike

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field (Organization)

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Sales Insights surface accounts spiking with engagement and predict x2 likelihood of becoming opportunities. These signals are written to Salesforce or HubSpot as custom fields and widgets. We extract these signal values and map them to custom fields on the corresponding Pipedrive Organization (e.g., adroll_spike_score__c, adroll_engagement_rank__c). Pipedrive has no native ABM scoring model, so these fields preserve the prioritization intelligence your SDR team used in RollWorks for reference in Pipedrive's activity and deal workflows.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Engagement: Call, Email, Meeting, Note, Task

maps to

Pipedrive

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) is synced to the connected CRM as standard Activity objects. We extract from Salesforce Tasks, Events, and EmailMessage records or HubSpot engagements and map them to Pipedrive Activities using the type mapping: Salesforce Task with Call disposition becomes Pipedrive Activity type Call; Event becomes Meeting; EmailMessage becomes Email; generic Task becomes Task. The activity timestamp and body preserve; the related Person and Organization links resolve via email and domain matching.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Workflow (Triggers and Actions)

maps to

Pipedrive

Workflow documentation

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Workflows (Triggers, Actions, and automation chains) are defined in the AdRoll ABM orchestration layer, not in the connected CRM. They automate CRM updates, email campaigns, and Hot Contact alerts. We perform a dedicated extraction pass to document every active Workflow with its trigger conditions, filter criteria, action sequence, and CRM update payload. We deliver a written Workflow Inventory document mapping each RollWorks Workflow to a recommended Pipedrive Workflow Automation equivalent. Workflows are not migrated as code; the customer's Pipedrive admin rebuilds them using Pipedrive's Workflow Automation builder (available on Advanced tier and above).

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Audience Segment / Filter Rule

maps to

Pipedrive

Tag or Custom Field (Organization)

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks Audience Segments are built from the platform's own data and CRM field combinations using filter rules. We extract the segmentation rules and criteria used to build each Account List and Audience Segment, documenting them as structured text or JSON in a custom Organization field (segment_criteria__c) or as Tags on Organizations. This preserves the segmentation logic for the customer's admin to reconstruct in Pipedrive's filters and segmentation tools.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Campaign Configuration

maps to

Pipedrive

Custom Field (Deal or Organization)

lossy
Fully supported

RollWorks campaign structure (campaign names, ad set names, creative identifiers, audience targeting rules) lives in the advertising layer. We do not migrate live ad creative assets as binary files. We extract campaign configuration metadata (campaign name, channel, start date, targeting criteria) and map it to a custom Deal field (campaign_config__c) or a JSON-formatted Organization field. This gives the customer's team a record of which Pipedrive Deals and Organizations were associated with which RollWorks advertising campaigns for reporting continuity.

Pair-specific challenges

  • RollWorks data originates from the connected CRM, not from RollWorks itself

    RollWorks does not maintain its own independent record store. All Account Lists, Journey Stages, engagement data, and Sales Insights are pulled from the connected Salesforce or HubSpot CRM via a bidirectional sync. This means the migration scope is determined by the connected CRM, not by RollWorks directly. We audit the connected CRM during scoping to identify the actual data sources (standard Salesforce objects vs. custom RollWorks objects), field-level mapping configurations, and any non-standard CRM objects referenced in the RollWorks integration.

  • Website domain mismatches break Account-to-Organization matching

    RollWorks uses the Website field on the Salesforce Account object as the primary lookup key to match AdRoll database records with CRM accounts. AdRoll normalizes domains by removing prefixes and suffixes (e.g., haci.honda.com becomes honda.com). If the Website field in the source CRM is blank or incorrect, RollWorks will not match the account. Conversely, if multiple Salesforce Accounts share the same normalized domain, RollWorks writes engagement data to all matching records, creating duplicates. We validate and normalize all Website domain values before mapping to Pipedrive Organizations to prevent both missed matches and unintended duplicates.

  • CRM sync limited to standard Salesforce objects

    RollWorks ingests Journey Stage data exclusively from standard Salesforce objects and their fields. Non-standard (custom) Salesforce objects and their fields are not available for Journey Stage mapping. We audit the customer's Salesforce schema during scoping to identify any custom object dependencies before migration begins, and we document which custom fields will need manual recreation in Pipedrive. AdRoll's own custom objects (adroll__RollWorks_AccountData__c, adroll__RollWorks_ContactLead__c) are accessible and we map these as described in the object mapping section.

  • Lead-to-Account association gaps carry over into Pipedrive

    Journey Events in RollWorks cannot associate Lead object activity data to Accounts in Salesforce. Only Contacts attached to Accounts receive Journey Event attribution. Teams running high-volume outbound on Leads will have Lead-only activity that does not associate to an Account in RollWorks. When migrating to Pipedrive, these records appear as People without a linked Organization if the Lead was never converted. We flag this gap during scoping and recommend a Lead-to-Contact conversion audit before migration to close the association gap.

  • ABM scoring and advertising metrics have no native Pipedrive equivalent

    Pipedrive does not include native ABM scoring, intent signal scoring, or multi-channel advertising attribution as standard features. Account Spike scores, fit grades (A-D), and AdRoll aggregated metrics (Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions) migrate as custom fields only. These custom fields do not trigger Pipedrive Workflows natively without additional configuration, and Pipedrive's filter and reporting tools are not designed for ABM-style account-based segmentation. We set up the custom fields during migration, but the customer's admin must configure Pipedrive Workflows to act on these scores if automated routing or prioritization is required.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful RollWorks Account-Based Platform to Pipedrive data migration

  1. Connected CRM audit and RollWorks integration extraction

    We audit the connected Salesforce or HubSpot CRM to identify which objects and fields are synced to RollWorks, including the RollWorks custom objects (adroll__RollWorks_AccountData__c and adroll__RollWorks_ContactLead__c), the standard Account and Contact objects used for Account List membership, and any custom field mappings configured in RollWorks' Salesforce Field Mapping settings. We extract the full Account List membership, Journey Stage assignments, Sales Insights values, and AdRoll aggregated metrics in the first data pass.

  2. Pipedrive workspace setup and domain normalization

    We create the Pipedrive workspace including Pipelines, Stages, and Organization custom fields before any data import. We validate and normalize all Website domain values from the source CRM to align with AdRoll's documented domain normalization rules, flagging any blank or duplicate domains for customer resolution. We create Organization custom fields for Account List membership, Journey Stage values, AdRoll aggregated metrics (Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, Page Views, Fit Grade), and Sales Insights scores. Custom fields are created as the correct Pipedrive type (number, text, dropdown, multiselect) before migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and field mapping validation

    We run a full migration into a Pipedrive trial or sandbox environment using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Organizations, People, Deals, Activities), spot-checks 20-30 random records against the source CRM, and validates that Journey Stage values, AdRoll metric values, and Account List membership are correctly mapped and appearing on the right records. We correct any field mapping issues in this phase before production migration begins.

  4. Organization and Person migration with dedupe

    We migrate Organizations in dependency order, using the normalized Website domain as the dedupe key. People records migrate with email as the dedupe key and are linked to their parent Organization via domain matching. Any People records without a matching Organization are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to review and manually associate. We carry RollWorks Account List membership as Pipedrive Tags and Organization custom fields, and we carry Account Groups as a dot-notation tag hierarchy.

  5. Deal, Activity, and metric migration

    We migrate Deals with Pipeline and Stage mapping resolved, owner assignment mapped by email match, and custom fields for Journey Stage and campaign configuration populated. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) migrates as Pipedrive Activities linked to the corresponding Organization and Person records. AdRoll aggregated metrics (Spend, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, Page Views, Fit Grade) populate on Organization records; Sales Insights and Account Spike values populate on Organization records as priority reference fields.

  6. Workflow inventory and cutover handoff

    We deliver the RollWorks Workflow Inventory document listing every active Workflow with its trigger conditions, filter logic, action sequence, and recommended Pipedrive Workflow Automation equivalent. We do not rebuild RollWorks Workflows inside the migration scope. During cutover, we freeze writes to the source CRM, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not provide post-migration admin support, training, or workflow rebuild as standard scope.

Strengths

  • Bi-directional Salesforce and HubSpot integration keeps ABM signals embedded in the sales record
  • Account Spike data science model gives SDRs a ranked outreach list without additional tooling
  • Multi-channel advertising (display, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) under one vendor reduces coordination overhead
  • G2 buyer intent integration enriches native intent data with third-party buying signals
  • Dynamic CPM ad serving model with no platform fee on self-service retargeting

Weaknesses

  • Visitor identification is company-level only, not person-level, requiring a supplemental contact tool for individual attribution
  • Filter and segmentation capabilities are limited compared to dedicated data platforms, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint
  • Non-standard Salesforce objects and their fields are not available for Journey Stages customization
  • Lead object activity cannot be associated to Accounts in Journey Events, leaving a data gap for teams using Leads over Contacts
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging ABM identity into the broader AdRoll advertising brand

Strengths

  • Intuitive drag-and-drop pipeline that sales reps actually use without resistance or training overhead.
  • Per-seat unlimited-deals model on all tiers — reps cannot be blocked from logging activity.
  • Active marketplace with 400+ integrations and a documented REST API with OpenAPI 3 specs.
  • Mobile apps with offline access, call logging, and calendar sync keep field teams operational.
  • Strong focus on sales activity tracking — next-action reminders and follow-up scheduling are first-class features.

Weaknesses

  • No custom objects — teams needing non-standard data structures must work around the four standard entity types.
  • Workflow automation limits by tier (30, 60, 90 active workflows) force upgrades as processes grow.
  • No free permanent plan — teams evaluating fit must commit to a trial without a freemium option.
  • Limited advanced reporting and custom dashboard capabilities compared to HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Export permissions are gated by visibility groups, meaning data scoping must account for who can see what before migration.
