Overview
tab32 stores patient demographics, clinical charts, treatment plans, insurance data, and multi-location provider information in a dental-specific schema. Pipedrive is a general sales CRM built around Person, Organization, Deal, and Activity objects — it has no native concept of CDT codes, insurance claims, or clinical records. We map tab32 patients to Pipedrive People, providers to Users, and locations to Organizations, creating custom fields for CDT codes, insurance providers, referral sources, and account balances. Clinical charts and imaging export as PDF attachments, but Pipedrive cannot interpret or display this content — your clinical team must access original records separately. We surface every dental-specific field in the migration plan so your admin can decide what to create as Pipedrive custom fields versus what to retire. The migration uses tab32's read API and Pipedrive's bulk v2 endpoints, with email-based owner resolution for providers and a 24-48 hour delta-pickup window during cutover. This approach ensures data integrity while highlighting where the two platforms diverge in their data models.
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 tab32 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.
tab32
Patient
Pipedrive
Person
1:1tab32 patients map 1:1 to Pipedrive People. Name, email, phone, address, and DOB transfer directly without transformation. The patient's original tab32 ID is stored in a Source_System_ID__c custom field for traceability and duplicate detection on delta runs, ensuring that any future sync attempts can identify existing records accurately.
tab32
Insurance
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Person)
1:1Insurance records do not have a Pipedrive equivalent. We migrate provider name, plan type, group number, and subscriber as custom fields on the Person record. Active claim status migrates as an Activity note — your billing team should track active claims separately post-migration.
tab32
Treatment_Plan
Pipedrive
Deal + Custom Fields
many:1Each tab32 treatment plan merges into a single Pipedrive Deal. The deal name uses the patient name + plan date. CDT codes, procedure descriptions, and estimated costs become custom fields on the Deal. The Deal is linked to the Person via Pipedrive's native Person-Deal association.
tab32
Provider
Pipedrive
User
1:1tab32 providers resolve to Pipedrive Users by email match. Unmatched providers are flagged before migration so your admin can create Pipedrive user accounts first. Activities and Deals owned by the provider assign to the matched User record, ensuring proper accountability tracking.
tab32
Appointment
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Scheduled appointments transfer as Pipedrive Activities with original timestamps, assigned provider, and appointment type preserved as Activity type labels. Subsequent visits for the same patient group under the Person record. The Activity is linked to both the Person and the Provider (User) record.
tab32
CDT_Code
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Deal)
1:1CDT procedure codes from tab32 treatment plans must be pre-created as Pipedrive custom text fields on the Deal object before data import begins. Each code is a separate field. Value mapping for code descriptions requires additional configuration if readable names are preferred over raw code strings.
tab32
Location
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Each tab32 location becomes a Pipedrive Organization. Location name, address, and phone map directly to Organization fields. For DSOs, we configure a parent Organization representing the enterprise group, then nest each location as a child Organization under it for cross-location reporting in Pipedrive analytics.
tab32
Clinical_Chart
Pipedrive
Attachment (PDF)
1:1tab32 clinical charts (tooth charts, perio exams, radiographs) export as PDF documents and re-upload as Pipedrive Attachments on the Person record. Pipedrive cannot parse or display the clinical content — the attachment is a reference archive only. Your clinical team should retain tab32 read access for historical chart review.
tab32
Imaging
Pipedrive
Attachment
1:1Radiograph and imaging files from tab32 download and re-upload to Pipedrive as file attachments on Person records. No thumbnail or embedded viewer is available in Pipedrive. Staff click the attachment to download the original file for review; they cannot preview images inline.
tab32
Billing_Record
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Person)
1:1Outstanding patient account balances migrate as a custom currency field (Account_Balance__c) on the Person record. tab32 billing transactions, insurance payments, and claim history have no Pipedrive equivalent — these records are summarized as Activity notes and exported as a separate billing CSV for your billing team's records.
tab32
Referral_Source
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Person)
1:1The referral source field capturing how a patient found the practice transfers directly as a Pipedrive custom field on the Person record. If tab32 uses a pick-list, value mapping is applied to preserve the same options in Pipedrive's dropdown configuration.
tab32
Recall_Record
Pipedrive
Custom Field (Person)
1:1tab32 recall records indicating when a patient is next due for a hygiene or recall visit migrate as a custom date field on the Person record. Pipedrive has no native recall system — your team can build an automation that checks this date and creates Activities, or maintain recall tracking in a separate report exported from tab32.

Migration approach
Export and profile tab32 data via API
FlitStack AI connects to tab32 using read-only API credentials to extract all Patient, Provider, Location, Appointment, Treatment_Plan, Insurance, Clinical_Chart, and Imaging records. We profile the data volume, flag duplicates and incomplete records, and identify clinical data that has no Pipedrive equivalent. A pre-migration audit report shows record counts by type, missing required fields, and the list of fields that will require Pipedrive custom field creation before import.
Map tab32 schema to Pipedrive objects and create custom fields
We document the full field-level mapping from tab32 objects to Pipedrive Person, Organization, Deal, and Activity fields. Clinical records are flagged as attachment-only. Custom fields for CDT codes, insurance providers, referral sources, account balances, and recall dates are listed with their target Pipedrive field names and types. Your Pipedrive admin creates these custom fields before data import begins — we provide the exact field names, types, and pick-list values needed.
Configure Pipedrive Organization hierarchy for multi-location practices
For DSOs with multiple tab32 locations, we identify the parent DSO enterprise entity and the list of child location Organizations. Your Pipedrive admin creates the parent Organization record first, then we map each tab32 location to a child Organization with the Parent ID pointing to the DSO enterprise. This hierarchy enables Pipedrive's cross-location analytics and deal filtering by practice site. Without this structure, each location's deals and activities appear as unrelated data with no aggregation path.
Migrate data using Pipedrive bulk API with owner resolution
We import People, Organizations, and Deals in sequence using Pipedrive's bulk v2 API endpoints. Provider email addresses are matched against existing Pipedrive user accounts to assign Deal and Activity ownership automatically. Unmatched providers are logged with their tab32 provider ID for admin resolution. CDT codes and custom dental fields populate on each Deal record. Clinical chart PDFs and imaging files re-upload as attachments on Person records. A field-level validation report runs after import to surface any unmapped or truncated values.
Cut over with delta-pickup window and validation handoff
Full migration commits to Pipedrive. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window captures any new Patients, Appointments, or Treatment_Plans created or modified in tab32 during the cutover period. We run a final reconciliation comparing record counts in tab32 against Pipedrive. You review a sample of migrated records in Pipedrive to verify field mapping accuracy. We provide a migration summary report, a list of any failed records for manual review, and a 30-day read-only export of your tab32 data for historical reference.
