Overview
Teleos is a veterinary-practice management CRM that stores contacts, organizations, deals, activities, and custom properties — but with constrained API access and pricing that scales by record count or tier. Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM with a visual pipeline, a full REST API covering all standard objects and custom fields, and a per-seat pricing model that becomes more cost-effective as teams grow. The migration from Teleos to Pipedrive requires translating Teleos's entity structure into Pipedrive's Person–Organization–Deal model, mapping Teleos custom properties to Pipedrive custom fields on Person and Organization records, and preserving original timestamps and owner assignments that Pipedrive's read-only system fields do not carry over natively. FlitStack AI extracts data via Teleos's export mechanism or API, builds a Pipedrive custom-field schema based on the Teleos property inventory, sequences the load to respect Pipedrive's entity-ordering requirements, and applies a 24–48 hour delta pickup window to capture in-flight changes. Every migration includes an audit log and a field-level sample diff before the full run commits.
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 Teleos 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.
Teleos
Contact (with Organization link)
Pipedrive
Person + Organization
1:1Teleos contacts with a primary organization link become Pipedrive persons linked to the migrated organization record. The contact's name, email, phone, and address fields map directly to Pipedrive person fields. FlitStack resolves the OrganizationId reference after the Organizations load completes.
Teleos
Contact (no Organization link)
Pipedrive
Person (unlinked)
1:1FlitStack extracts Teleos contacts that lack a primary organization link and inserts them as unlinked Pipedrive persons. The migration preserves all standard fields (name, email, phone) while flagging each record with a custom Teleos_ID__c for later reconciliation. The customer's admin can then decide to attach these persons to a default organization in Pipedrive, or keep them standalone for reporting purposes.
Teleos
Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Each Teleos organization is created as a Pipedrive organization, copying name, address, website, and industry fields directly. FlitStack maps the domain field to Pipedrive’s domain attribute for duplicate detection. Where Teleos records a parent–child relationship, the child organization’s parent_id is set to the migrated parent’s Pipedrive ID, preserving the original hierarchy within the new CRM.
Teleos
Deal / Opportunity
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1FlitStack loads each Teleos deal into Pipedrive as a deal record, copying title, value, expected close date, and owner reference. The Teleos stage label is mapped to the Pipedrive stage ID, and probability is set per the schema plan. Custom fields on the Teleos deal become Pipedrive custom fields and are populated during the load. Deal–person and deal–organization links are resolved after the related entity loads to preserve referential integrity.
Teleos
Deal Stage
Pipedrive
Deal Stage (Pipeline-specific)
1:1Teleos deal stage labels are translated to Pipedrive stage names on a per‑pipeline basis, using the mapping defined during schema setup. For each stage, FlitStack assigns the corresponding Pipedrive probability percentage and forecast category, ensuring that reporting and AI forecasting reflect the original pipeline logic. If a Teleos stage has no exact Pipedrive counterpart, the admin selects a fallback stage or creates a new one before migration.
Teleos
Patient Record (Teleos custom entity)
Pipedrive
Custom fields on Person record
1:1Teleos patient records do not have a Pipedrive native equivalent. Patient name, species, breed, medical notes, and vaccination history are stored as Pipedrive custom fields on the linked person record. If a Teleos contact has multiple patients, additional records are appended as JSON text in a designated custom field.
Teleos
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
Pipedrive
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
1:1Teleos logged calls, emails, and meetings migrate as Pipedrive activities with original timestamps, subject, and owner attribution preserved. Pipedrive's API restricts export of activities from inactive users — FlitStack flags any gaps and migrates as much as the API permits.
Teleos
Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1FlitStack loads each Teleos note as a Pipedrive note attached to the matching person, organization, or deal record. The original HTML or rich‑text content is stored in Pipedrive’s content field without transformation. Author name and creation timestamp are written to Pipedrive’s user_id and add_time fields; if the author lacks a Pipedrive account, the note is attached to the service user and flagged for review. Teleos note attachments are not transferred.
Teleos
Product / Service
Pipedrive
Product
1:1FlitStack imports Teleos products and services as Pipedrive products, preserving the name, unit, pricing, and description fields. If Teleos stores a product code or tax rate, those values are saved to Pipedrive custom fields on the product record. When a Teleos deal references a product, FlitStack creates a deal‑product entry in Pipedrive linking the deal to the migrated product, and the quantity and price are copied from Teleos.
Teleos
Teleos Custom Property (any entity)
Pipedrive
Custom field on target entity
1:1Any Teleos custom property — text, number, date, pick-list, or multi-select — is replicated as a Pipedrive custom field on the equivalent entity (Person, Organization, or Deal). Pipedrive assigns a 40-character hash key; FlitStack documents the mapping for API reference.
Teleos
Appointment (Teleos)
Pipedrive
Meeting Activity + Custom fields
1:1FlitStack converts each Teleos appointment into a Pipedrive meeting activity, copying the start time, end time, location, and duration. The Teleos practitioner is set as the Pipedrive activity owner (matched by email). Appointment type, notes, and any custom fields are stored on the linked person record using dedicated Pipedrive custom fields. If the appointment recurs, FlitStack creates a series of Pipedrive meetings and links them to the same person.
Teleos
Teleos Owner / Practitioner
Pipedrive
Pipedrive User
1:1Teleos owners and practitioners are resolved by email match against Pipedrive user accounts. FlitStack creates a mapping table and flags any Teleos owner without a Pipedrive user account for the customer's admin to provision before migration or assign to a fallback user.

Migration approach
Pre-migration audit and schema mapping
FlitStack AI inventories all Teleos entities — contacts, organizations, deals, activities, products, and custom properties — and produces a detailed mapping specification. We count records per entity, catalog Teleos custom property names and data types, review Teleos deal stages, and identify any entity relationships (contact-to-organization, deal-to-contact). The output is a Pipedrive schema setup plan: which custom fields to create, which Pipedrive pipeline and stages to configure, and the entity load order that respects Pipedrive's foreign-key requirements.
Owner and user resolution
Teleos owner and practitioner email addresses are matched against existing Pipedrive user accounts. Any Teleos owner without a corresponding Pipedrive user is flagged before migration begins — the customer provisions a Pipedrive account or designates a fallback owner. FlitStack AI also enables API access on the Teleos side and confirms Pipedrive API credentials are active so the migration pipeline can run without interruption.
Sequenced bulk load into Pipedrive
Data loads in the correct foreign-key order: Organizations first, then Persons linked to organizations, then Deals linked to persons and organizations, then Products, then Activities in reverse-chronological order. Teleos custom properties are created as Pipedrive custom fields before the bulk load. Original Teleos created_at and updated_at timestamps are preserved in custom timestamp fields. Deal stages are applied value-by-value against the Pipedrive pipeline stages defined in the schema plan.
Sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100 to 500 records across contacts, organizations, deals, and activities — migrates first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff between the Teleos source record and the resulting Pipedrive record, showing every field mapping and any values that did not transfer as expected. The customer reviews the diff and approves field mapping adjustments before the full run proceeds.
Delta pickup, audit log, and go-live sign-off
The full migration runs against live Teleos data. A delta-pickup window of 24 to 48 hours captures any records created or modified during the cutover period. An audit log records every operation — insert, update, skip — for reconciliation. One-click rollback reverts Pipedrive to its pre-migration state if the diff check fails. The customer signs off on final record counts and custom field population before the delta is applied and the migration is marked complete.
