Overview
Moving from RSoft CRM to Pipedrive is a structural migration that flattens RSoft's nested data model into Pipedrive's cleaner hierarchy of Organizations, People, Deals, and Activities. RSoft exports all primary objects via CSV, but IVR call logs and WhatsApp conversations are stored in modules that do not appear in the export, so those require a separate file-transfer process we flag during scoping. RSoft's separate Lead and Contact objects must be reconciled into a single Pipedrive People record using email as the dedupe key, and we preserve the original Lead creation date and score as custom fields on the resulting People record. We sequence the migration to resolve Organization-to-People-to-Deal relationships before inserting, and we deliver a written workflow inventory so your admin can rebuild automations in Pipedrive's Automation feature post-migration.
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 RSoft 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.
RSoft CRM
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1RSoft Company records map directly to Pipedrive Organization. We extract company name, industry, size, address, and owner. Organization is created first so that the relationship to People records is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. The Organization name is used as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate organizations during import.
RSoft CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1RSoft Contact records map to Pipedrive Person. We extract name, phone, email, address, lifecycle stage, and owner. The Contact's linked RSoft Company maps to a Pipedrive Organization lookup. If the same person also appears as a RSoft Lead, we deduplicate during the People import by email match and merge into a single Person record.
RSoft CRM
Lead
Pipedrive
Person
many:1RSoft Lead records map to Pipedrive Person. RSoft creates a separate Contact record when a Lead converts, so both may exist for the same individual. We deduplicate by email during migration: if a matching Person already exists from the Contact import, we merge fields (preserving the earlier creation date as a custom field) and skip the duplicate. Any RSoft-specific lead score and lead source are preserved as Pipedrive custom fields.
RSoft CRM
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1RSoft Deal records map to Pipedrive Deals. We extract deal title, pipeline stage, amount, probability, expected close date, owner, and linked Organization and Person. The RSoft pipeline and stage structure maps to Pipedrive's pipeline and stage configuration. Multiple RSoft pipelines map to multiple Pipedrive pipelines.
RSoft CRM
Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Stage
lossyEach RSoft pipeline becomes a Pipedrive pipeline, and each RSoft stage within that pipeline becomes a Pipedrive stage with corresponding probability and stage order. We extract stage position, probability percentage, and any stage-specific automation labels from RSoft and configure Pipedrive stages to match before any Deal records import.
RSoft CRM
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note, SMS)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1RSoft Activities map to Pipedrive Activities using the type field to distinguish calls, emails, meetings, notes, and SMS. We extract subject, body, date, duration for calls, and linked Person and Deal. Call disposition and duration from RSoft IVR exports migrate as custom fields on the corresponding Pipedrive Activity. Note content migrates to Pipedrive Activity with type note.
RSoft CRM
Product
Pipedrive
Product
1:1RSoft product catalog records map to Pipedrive Products with name, code, unit price, and currency. Products must exist in Pipedrive before they can be linked to Deals, so Product import runs before Deal import. If RSoft products have custom pricing per deal, those values are preserved as deal-level custom fields.
RSoft CRM
Tag
Pipedrive
Label
1:1RSoft tags on Contacts, Leads, and Deals export as comma-separated values in the CSV and map to Pipedrive Labels on the corresponding Person, Deal, or Organization. We deduplicate tags during import and normalize casing. Labels in Pipedrive are scoped to the object they apply to (Person label vs Deal label).
RSoft CRM
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1RSoft user accounts referenced as owners on Deals, Contacts, Leads, and Tickets map to Pipedrive Users. We extract the full user roster and match by email address against the destination Pipedrive account. Any RSoft owner without a matching Pipedrive User is held in a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before record import resumes.
RSoft CRM
Custom Field
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1RSoft custom fields on Contacts, Leads, Companies, and Deals map to Pipedrive custom fields where the destination plan tier supports them. RSoft Standard and Advanced plans cap custom fields at 5; Pipedrive Essential and Advanced also cap at 5. Fields exceeding the destination limit require either a plan upgrade (Pipedrive Professional or above) or manual reconstruction by the admin post-migration. We flag all exceeded-limit fields during scoping.
RSoft CRM
Ticket
Pipedrive
Case (via Power Pack or Integration)
1:1RSoft Ticket records with subject, status, priority, assignee, and conversation history migrate to Pipedrive as Activity records of type note with a ticket reference tag. Pipedrive does not have a native ticket object on Essential and Advanced plans; if the customer requires full ticket management, we recommend enabling Pipedrive's Power Pack or a helpdesk integration. We document the full ticket inventory for the admin to configure the replacement system.
RSoft CRM
Attachment
Pipedrive
File (separate transfer)
1:1RSoft does not expose document attachments via CSV export. Files linked to Contacts, Deals, or Tickets must be migrated separately via direct file transfer, not inline with record migration. We identify attachment URLs in the RSoft CSV where present, extract the files, and deliver them with a filename mapping to the destination record. The customer's admin uploads them into Pipedrive Files attached to the corresponding Person, Organization, or Deal.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the RSoft account across all plan tiers, extracting CSV exports for Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and Tickets. We count total records per object, identify the pipeline and stage structure, flag the RSoft plan tier and its custom field cap, and document any attachment URLs present in the CSV. We specifically scope WhatsApp conversation and IVR call log volume for the separate file-transfer conversation. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with a Pipedrive plan recommendation, a list of custom fields exceeding the destination cap, a deduplication strategy for Leads and Contacts, and a workflow inventory checklist.
Schema design and Pipedrive configuration
We configure Pipedrive to match RSoft's data structure before any data inserts. This includes creating Pipedrive Organizations, configuring pipeline(s) and stage(s) to mirror RSoft's pipeline order and stage probability settings, setting up custom fields on Person, Deal, and Organization to receive migrated RSoft custom fields within the plan cap, provisioning Pipedrive Users mapped to RSoft owners by email, and designing the People deduplication rule using email as the match key. Schema configuration runs in the customer's live Pipedrive account so that field IDs are available for the import step.
Data extraction from RSoft
We export all primary objects from RSoft via CSV in dependency order: Organizations first (from Companies), then People (from Contacts and Leads with deduplication applied), then Deals (with Organization and Person lookups resolved), then Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes), then Products, then Tags, then Tickets. We chunk large CSV files into batches of 10,000 rows or fewer to align with Pipedrive's CSV import limits. Any attachment URLs present in the RSoft CSV are extracted into a separate file inventory for the file-transfer step.
Data transformation and load into Pipedrive
We transform each exported CSV against the mapping schema, applying the Lead-Contact deduplication rule (email match, merge, preserve creation date from the earlier record), resolving RSoft owner email addresses to Pipedrive User IDs, mapping RSoft custom fields to Pipedrive custom fields within the plan cap and flagging any that exceed it, and mapping RSoft pipeline stages to configured Pipedrive stages. We load using Pipedrive's CSV import for smaller batches and the Pipedrive REST API for batches exceeding 10,000 rows. Each object import emits a validation report (empty required fields, missing lookups, duplicate candidates) for customer sign-off before the next object begins.
Workflow inventory and automation handoff
We document every active RSoft Automation with its name, trigger condition, action sequence, delay steps, and channel (email, SMS, WhatsApp, call). This inventory is delivered as a written document with a recommended Pipedrive Automation equivalent for each item. The customer's admin rebuilds automations in Pipedrive's Automation feature post-migration; we do not rebuild RSoft Workflows as Pipedrive Automation inside the migration scope. We also document any RSoft Sequences for rebuild using Pipedrive Sequences or a third-party sales engagement tool.
Parallel period, delta sync, and cutover
We run a parallel validation period during which the team uses Pipedrive alongside RSoft and reports any missing or incorrectly mapped records. We run a final delta migration of any records created or modified in RSoft during the parallel period, then set RSoft to read-only or deactivate it. We deliver a migration summary document, a complete field-mapping record for audit purposes, and a workflow rebuild handoff. We provide a one-week hypercare window for the customer to report and resolve any data quality issues discovered after cutover.
