Overview
StreetSmart (career platforms serving students and early-career professionals) and Pipedrive are fundamentally different product categories — StreetSmart tracks applications, mentorship relationships, and club memberships, while Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM. The migration therefore requires a structural translation: StreetSmart students become Pipedrive People records, clubs and organizations map to Pipedrive Organizations, and applications convert to Pipedrive Deals with custom fields carrying StreetSmart-specific attributes like program focus, cohort, and mentor assignments. We extract data via the source platform's export API or CSV endpoints, then map to Pipedrive's REST API endpoints (/persons, /organizations, /deals) using custom fields for platform-specific properties. Automations, mentor-matching rules, and application-stage trigger logic do not transfer — those require manual rebuild in Pipedrive's Workflow Automation tool. We preserve original create/update timestamps, owner email matches, and all custom field values. The migration runs read-only against StreetSmart during the delta window so your team keeps working in the source platform until 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 StreetSmart 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.
StreetSmart
Student / Member
Pipedrive
Person
1:1StreetSmart student profiles (name, email, phone, address, cohort, program focus) map directly to Pipedrive Persons. Owner resolution uses email match against Pipedrive users — unmatched students get assigned to a fallback owner flagged for admin review.
StreetSmart
Student.profile_image
Pipedrive
Person.picture
1:1StreetSmart stores profile images as URLs. Pipedrive Persons have a picture field that accepts Base64-encoded images or external URLs via API — we re-upload images to Pipedrive's file storage and link by picture_id.
StreetSmart
Club / Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1StreetSmart clubs (name, description, category, created date, admin user) map to Pipedrive Organizations. The organization's admin user becomes the Organization's primary Owner via email match.
StreetSmart
Club.parent_club_id (hierarchy)
Pipedrive
Organization.parent_org_id
1:1StreetSmart supports nested club hierarchies. Pipedrive Organizations have a parent_org_id field for hierarchy — parent clubs must migrate first so child clubs can reference the correct parent ID in the migration sequence.
StreetSmart
Application
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1StreetSmart applications (student_id, club_id, status, applied_date, notes) map to Pipedrive Deals. The deal's title follows the pattern '[Student Name] → [Club Name]' for readability in the Pipedrive pipeline view.
StreetSmart
Application.status
Pipedrive
Deal.stage_id (per pipeline)
1:1StreetSmart application statuses (Applied, In Review, Interview, Offer, Accepted, Rejected) map to Pipedrive pipeline Stage values. The mapping is value-by-value — we create stages matching your StreetSmart statuses in the target Pipedrive pipeline before migration.
StreetSmart
Application.applied_date
Pipedrive
Deal.close_date
1:1StreetSmart's application submission date maps to Pipedrive's close_date field. For active applications, close_date is set far in the future (2099-12-31) to keep them open in the pipeline — we set actual close dates for Accepted or Rejected outcomes.
StreetSmart
Mentor
Pipedrive
Person (custom type) or Organization
many:1StreetSmart mentor profiles (name, email, expertise, assigned_students) can merge into Pipedrive Persons with a custom Mentor_Flag__c boolean field, or into a separate Organization with Persons linked as contacts. We surface the choice before migration runs.
StreetSmart
Membership (student ↔ club N:N)
Pipedrive
Deal + custom_field
1:manyStreetSmart allows students to belong to multiple clubs. Pipedrive Deal model handles one student–club pair per deal. For multi-club students, we create one Deal per club membership and add a Primary_Club__c flag for the student's main affiliation.
StreetSmart
Application.notes / audit_log
Pipedrive
Activity (Note or Task)
1:1StreetSmart application notes and status-change history migrate as Pipedrive Notes attached to the corresponding Deal. Each note preserves the original author and timestamp from StreetSmart's audit log.
StreetSmart
Custom Property (any object)
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1StreetSmart custom properties (program focus, cohort year, referral source, skills, etc.) require Pipedrive custom fields created via POST /personFields, /organizationFields, or /dealFields before migration. We create them with matching data types — string, number, date, enum, or multiselect.
StreetSmart
Student.hs_object_id
Pipedrive
Person.id
1:1StreetSmart's internal record ID is preserved as Source_Record_ID__c on the migrated Pipedrive record. This enables delta-run de-duplication and traceability back to the source system.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
StreetSmart gotchas
StreetSmart API requires explicit key provisioning
Work Order status enumeration may differ between StreetSmart editions
Attachment metadata stored outside the primary Work Order record
Custom fields schema is not discoverable via public documentation
Pipedrive gotchas
Custom field hash keys differ per account
Export access gated by visibility groups
Token-based API rate limits since December 2024
Sequences and Automations not exposed via REST API
Cost escalates via workflow caps and add-ons
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit StreetSmart data and design Pipedrive schema
We connect to StreetSmart's export API (with scoped read credentials you provide) and pull a full data dump: all students, clubs, mentors, applications, and membership records. We audit record counts, custom property types, and relationship cardinalities. Simultaneously, we design the Pipedrive target schema: create the pipeline with stages matching your application statuses, create all custom fields via the Pipedrive API, and define the mentor-person vs. mentor-organization approach. You approve the schema plan before any data moves.
Resolve owners and pre-invite users to Pipedrive
StreetSmart user IDs and email addresses are matched against Pipedrive users via the GET /users endpoint. We generate a match report: matched users map directly; unmatched owners require pre-invitation to Pipedrive before migration so their email is registered. No record migrates without a valid Pipedrive owner — unmatched records are held in a staging report until resolved. Club admin users and mentor users receive invitations in the same step.
Migrate organizations and parent hierarchies first
Pipedrive requires Organizations to exist before Deals can link via org_id. We migrate Clubs to Organizations first, preserving parent_org_id links for nested club hierarchies. Circular references (Club A → Club B → Club A) are flagged in the audit and resolved manually before migration. Mentor records (if mapped as Organizations) are migrated in this step alongside clubs.
Migrate people and resolve student-club deal splitting
Students and mentors migrate as Pipedrive Persons. Student IDs are stored as custom fields (Source_Record_ID__c) on each Person for delta-run traceability. For students in multiple clubs, we generate the deal-per-club split plan and present it for your approval. Each split deal links to the student's Person record and the club's Organization record via person_id and org_id foreign keys. Profile images are re-uploaded to Pipedrive file storage and attached in this step.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records across students, clubs, applications, and mentors — migrates to Pipedrive first. We generate a field-level diff showing source value vs. destination value for every mapped field, flagging any transformation anomalies. You review the diff in Pipedrive directly and approve or request corrections before the full migration commits. Stage mapping, owner resolution, and image attachment are validated at this step.
Full migration with delta-pickup and rollback capability
The full dataset migrates against Pipedrive's production environment. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in StreetSmart during the migration run so Pipedrive reflects the final state at cutover. Every operation is logged in FlitStack's audit trail. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts Pipedrive to its pre-migration snapshot. We conduct a final count validation comparing migrated record totals against StreetSmart export totals before sign-off.
