Overview
Urban Hawks stores standard CRM objects — people, organizations, deals, activities, and products — with custom fields and association metadata. Pipedrive uses a parallel structure: Person, Organization, Deal, Activity, and Product objects, plus custom fields stored as 40-character hash keys that must be created on the destination side before data can land. FlitStack AI extracts from Urban Hawks using the platform's export API, resolves owner assignments by email match against Pipedrive users, imports Organizations first (since Pipedrive requires org_id before People can reference it), then People, then Deals. Custom fields get mapped by name and type, with hash keys generated fresh in Pipedrive via POST calls to /dealFields or /personFields. Pipedrive's token-based API rate limits vary by plan tier — from 20 req/2s on Lite to 120 req/2s on Ultimate — which governs batch sizing during the migration run. Workflows, sequences, and automations are platform-native and do not migrate; FlitStack exports the source definitions as a rebuild reference for Pipedrive's Workflow Automation or an external tool like Zapier. A 24–48h delta-pickup window captures records modified during cutover so Pipedrive reflects Urban Hawks' final state at go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

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 Urban-Hawks 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.
Urban-Hawks
Person
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Urban Hawks Person maps directly to Pipedrive Person. Pipedrive requires an org_id to link a Person to an Organization — if Urban Hawks Person has no primary company, the Person migrates with org_id = null and is flagged for manual assignment in Pipedrive.
Urban-Hawks
Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Urban Hawks Organization maps 1:1 to Pipedrive Organization. Pipedrive uses structured address fields (address, zip, city, state, country) — address components from Urban Hawks are mapped to the corresponding Organization address fields. If Urban Hawks stores address components in separate fields, each component is mapped to its corresponding Pipedrive Organization address field. This ensures address data is fully searchable and displayable in Pipedrive's interface.
Urban-Hawks
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Urban Hawks Deal maps to Pipedrive Deal. Pipedrive Deal uses stage_id linked to a Pipeline; stage values from Urban Hawks are mapped to the correct stage within the target Pipedrive pipeline, preserving order and probability. FlitStack validates stage mapping by comparing source stage labels against Pipedrive stage names, ensuring deals land in the correct pipeline stages after migration.
Urban-Hawks
Activity (Call)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Urban Hawks call activity migrates as Pipedrive Activity with type = 'call'. Subject, duration (in minutes), result, and done flag are mapped directly. Owner is resolved by email match to Pipedrive user. Call outcome details from Urban Hawks are preserved in the result field, and the activity timestamp is set to match the original call date and time in Pipedrive.
Urban-Hawks
Activity (Meeting)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Urban Hawks meeting activity migrates as Pipedrive Activity with type = 'meeting'. Subject, start time, end time, location, and done flag map directly. Original meeting owner is resolved by email to Pipedrive user. Meeting description and attendee information from Urban Hawks are preserved in the activity notes field, maintaining full context of each meeting.
Urban-Hawks
Activity (Email)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Urban Hawks email activity migrates as Pipedrive Activity with type = 'email'. Subject, body content, and link to the parent Person or Deal are preserved. Pipedrive email tracking depends on the email sync integration — activity text is migrated regardless.
Urban-Hawks
Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Urban Hawks notes migrate as Pipedrive Notes. Content maps to the Note body field; the parent Person, Organization, or Deal is preserved via Pipedrive's polymorphic content_object reference. Note creation timestamps are migrated as Pipedrive note timestamps. If Urban Hawks notes include HTML formatting, FlitStack strips unsupported tags while preserving plain text content for clean display in Pipedrive.
Urban-Hawks
Product
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Urban Hawks product catalog maps 1:1 to Pipedrive Products. Product name, code, unit price, and description are transferred. Products are imported before Deals so deal_product associations can link correctly. Product images and attachments from Urban Hawks are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Products, maintaining visual reference for sales teams.
Urban-Hawks
Custom Field (Person-level)
Pipedrive
Person custom field
1:1Urban Hawks custom fields on Person cannot be mapped by ID to Pipedrive because Pipedrive generates new hash keys for each custom field. FlitStack creates the Pipedrive custom field via POST /personFields with matching name and field type before migration, storing the Urban Hawks field ID for traceability.
Urban-Hawks
Custom Field (Deal-level)
Pipedrive
Deal custom field
1:1Urban Hawks deal custom fields are recreated in Pipedrive via POST /dealFields before migration runs. Leads in Pipedrive inherit deal custom fields automatically per Pipedrive's shared-field model. Each custom field gets a Pipedrive hash key assigned at creation time. The mapping between Urban Hawks field IDs and Pipedrive hash keys is stored in the migration manifest for traceability.
Urban-Hawks
Multi-select Pick-list Field
Pipedrive
Multi-select custom field
1:1Pipedrive multi-select fields require the field to be created first via API, then each option value is mapped individually in the import step. Urban Hawks multi-select values are mapped one-by-one to the corresponding Pipedrive option labels. If an option label doesn't exist in Pipedrive, FlitStack creates it automatically before writing values, ensuring no data is lost during migration.
Urban-Hawks
Deal-Product Association
Pipedrive
deal_product (association)
1:1Urban Hawks line-item or product-association data on a Deal transforms into Pipedrive's deal_product association object. Each linked product carries product_id, quantity, discount_percent, and item_price into the association table. FlitStack validates that each product_id exists in Pipedrive before creating the association; if a product is missing, it is created on-the-fly to prevent null references.
Urban-Hawks
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User (owner_id)
1:1Urban Hawks owner_id does not map directly to Pipedrive user_id. FlitStack resolves owners by matching the owner's email address from Urban Hawks against the /users endpoint in Pipedrive. Unmatched owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback Pipedrive user pending team review.
Urban-Hawks
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
File
1:1File attachments from Urban Hawks are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files, linked to the parent Person, Organization, or Deal record. Pipedrive file size limits apply — files over the plan limit are flagged for manual handling. File metadata including creation date and uploader information is preserved in Pipedrive's file description field for audit purposes.

Migration approach
Audit Urban Hawks data and Pipedrive target schema
FlitStack extracts record counts for People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, Products, and Notes from Urban Hawks. Custom field definitions (names, types, options) are catalogued. Pipedrive's target pipeline and stage configuration is reviewed — any stages or pipelines not yet created in Pipedrive are flagged for the admin to set up before migration. The data audit report identifies duplicate records, orphaned relationships, and records missing required fields for both platforms.
Create Pipedrive custom fields via API
FlitStack calls POST /personFields and POST /dealFields to create every Urban Hawks custom field in Pipedrive, matched by name and field type. For multi-select fields, the options array is sent in the same creation call. The response hash keys are stored in the migration field map. This step must complete before any records are written, since Pipedrive rejects values for non-existent custom fields. Any multi-select option labels that don't yet exist in Pipedrive are created as part of this step.
Import Organizations, then People, then Deals in sequence
Pipedrive requires org_id to be set on People (via Organization being created first). Products are imported before Deals so deal_product associations can reference valid product IDs. Deals are imported after People so Opportunity Contact Roles can be written. Activities are imported last, with parent_id linking to the migrated Person, Organization, or Deal. FlitStack respects this dependency order throughout the run. Pipedrive's API rate limits are monitored per token, with batch sizing adjusted to stay within the plan's burst ceiling.
Run sample migration and validate with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–100 records across each entity type migrates to Pipedrive first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values for every mapped field, flagging any nulls, truncations, or value-mapping mismatches. The team reviews the diff against the Pipedrive UI to confirm custom field values landed correctly, owner assignments resolved, and stage mapping produced expected Pipedrive stage labels. No records are committed to the full migration until the sample diff is approved.
Execute production migration with rate-limit-aware batching and delta pickup
The full migration runs in batches sized to Pipedrive's token-based rate limits (20–120 req/2s depending on plan). FlitStack tracks HTTP 429 responses and backs off exponentially until the X-RateLimit-Reset Unix timestamp passes. After the migration run completes, a 24–48h delta-pickup window queries Urban Hawks for records created or modified since the migration start time and writes those changes to Pipedrive. An audit log records every write operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies gaps.
