Overview
Moving from Wavity CRM to Pipedrive is a structural migration constrained by Wavity's lack of a documented public REST or bulk API. Unlike Pipedrive, which has a well-documented REST API, native CSV import, and a supported Import2 partner connector, Wavity requires coordinated data extraction through its UI export or support-assisted data dumps that must then be normalized into Pipedrive's data model. Wavity's Leads, Contacts, and Accounts map cleanly to Pipedrive's People and Organizations, but its custom objects built with the Zero Code Application Designer require pre-migration schema discovery and field-by-field mapping. Wavity's wBots RPA automations and built-in Help Desk tickets do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation and ticket pipeline for your admin to rebuild in Pipedrive or its available integrations. We sequence the migration in dependency order — Organizations first, then People, then Deals, then Activities — using Pipedrive's API with batch chunking and parent-record lookup resolution.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wavity 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.
Wavity CRM
Lead
Pipedrive
Person (Lead type)
1:1Wavity Lead records with name, email, phone, source attribution, status, and scoring values map directly to Pipedrive People records of type Person. We preserve lead source as a custom field on the Pipedrive Person. The Wavity lead status property maps to the first pipeline stage in Pipedrive so that imported Leads enter the correct pipeline position.
Wavity CRM
Contact
Pipedrive
Person (Contact type)
1:1Wavity Contact records map 1:1 to Pipedrive People. Standard fields (name, email, phone) map directly; custom field values on Wavity Contacts migrate to matching custom fields we pre-create in Pipedrive before the import phase. The bidirectional Contact-Account relationship resolves to Pipedrive's Person-Organization link, which we establish after Organizations are imported.
Wavity CRM
Account
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Wavity Account records map directly to Pipedrive Organization. Organization is imported before People so that the Organization-Person link is satisfied at the moment of Person insert. The Wavity Account domain becomes the Organization's Website field and serves as the dedupe key to prevent duplicate Organizations during import.
Wavity CRM
Opportunity
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Wavity Opportunity records with deal value, stage, probability, and owner assignment map to Pipedrive Deal. The pipeline stage name and probability migrate from Wavity's pipeline configuration to Pipedrive's stage definition within the chosen pipeline. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Wavity custom fields become Pipedrive custom fields for reporting consistency.
Wavity CRM
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline
lossyEach Wavity pipeline with its user-defined stages, stage order, and probability percentages is extracted as a configuration record and recreated as a Pipedrive Pipeline. We match Wavity stage names to Pipedrive stage names and map probabilities to Pipedrive's stage probability values. Pipedrive's visual pipeline builder receives the stage schema before any Deal import begins.
Wavity CRM
Task
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Wavity Task records with due date, assignee, status, and linked objects (Contact, Opportunity) map to Pipedrive Activities. Task status (open, completed) maps to Pipedrive Activity done status. Assignment in Wavity (linked to a user record by owner ID) resolves to the Pipedrive user by email match before Activity import.
Wavity CRM
Appointment
Pipedrive
Activity (Meeting)
1:1Wavity Appointment records with start time, duration, attendees, and linked Contact or Opportunity map to Pipedrive Activity records of type Meeting. We preserve timezone awareness by migrating the original appointment timestamp and setting the Activity due field accordingly. Linked attendees resolve to Pipedrive Person or Organization records that have already been imported.
Wavity CRM
Ticket (Help Desk)
Pipedrive
Deal or Activity (per strategy)
lossyWavity Tickets with status, priority, assignee, customer link, and conversation history require a migration strategy decision during scoping. Pipedrive's core CRM does not include a native ticket object; if the customer licenses Pipedrive's Help Desk add-on ($19/seat/mo), tickets map to Pipedrive Tickets. Without the add-on, tickets can migrate to Deals in a separate pipeline (with ticket-type pipeline configured) or to Activity records with a ticket reference field. We document both options and the customer chooses before migration.
Wavity CRM
Custom Objects
Pipedrive
Custom Fields on standard objects
lossyWavity's Zero Code Application Designer custom objects lack a standard export format and require pre-migration schema discovery. We schedule a schema review call with the customer to document every custom object, field type, validation rule, and relationship to standard Wavity objects. We then pre-create equivalent Pipedrive custom fields on the relevant standard objects (Person, Organization, Deal) before migration. Custom object schemas that cannot map to standard Pipedrive objects are flagged for the customer's admin to handle post-migration in Pipedrive's custom fields UI.
Wavity CRM
Document / Attachment
Pipedrive
File attachments on Person, Organization, Deal
1:1File attachments stored in Wavity are exported as a file bundle and re-uploaded to Pipedrive, preserving the attachment-to-record linkage via ContentDocumentLink equivalents in Pipedrive's file association model. We map each attachment to the correct Person, Organization, or Deal using the Wavity record ID preserved during the Person and Organization import phase.
Wavity CRM
User / Team Member
Pipedrive
User
1:1Wavity User records with name, email, role, and active/inactive status map to Pipedrive Users. We match by email address. Any Wavity user marked inactive is flagged for the customer to review before provisioning in Pipedrive, ensuring that only active users consume a Pipedrive seat. Role and permission structure is documented as a written handoff since Pipedrive's permission model differs from Wavity's custom roles.

Migration approach
Discovery and data extraction planning
We audit Wavity across every active module — Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Pipelines, Tasks, Appointments, Tickets, and any Zero Code Application Designer custom objects. We map the record count per object, identify any data quality issues (duplicate names, missing emails, blank required fields), and schedule a coordinated data extraction call with Wavity's support team to request structured CSV exports in a format we can normalize for Pipedrive's import schema. We also review Pipedrive's destination account — plan tier, existing data, and whether the Help Desk add-on is licensed — so that the migration strategy accounts for the ticket object decision.
Schema discovery for custom objects and field mapping
If Wavity contains Zero Code Application Designer custom objects, we run a dedicated schema discovery session with the customer. We document every custom object, its field types, validation rules, and cross-object relationships, then pre-create matching Pipedrive custom fields on the relevant standard objects. We also extract the full Wavity pipeline stage schema — stage names, order, and probability percentages — and configure an equivalent Pipedrive Pipeline with matching stage definitions before any Deal data is imported.
Data normalization and sandbox test import
We normalize Wavity's exported CSV files into Pipedrive's import schema. This includes splitting Wavity's combined Contact-Account data into separate Organization and Person CSV files, resolving Wavity owner IDs to Pipedrive user email addresses, mapping Wavity ticket status values to the chosen Pipedrive ticket or Deal pipeline stage strategy, and cleaning incomplete records. We run a test import into a Pipedrive sandbox or trial account to validate record counts, verify field mappings, confirm duplicate detection is functioning, and get sign-off from the customer's admin before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Wavity user referenced on Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks, and Appointments and match them by email against the destination Pipedrive account's User table. Any Wavity user without a matching Pipedrive User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Pipedrive admin provisions any missing users before production migration resumes. This step is required because OwnerId references on Deals and Activities must resolve to a valid Pipedrive User at import time.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Wavity Accounts) first, then People (from Wavity Contacts and Leads with the source attribution preserved), then Deals (with OrganizationId and OwnerId resolved), then Activities (Tasks and Meetings with WhoId and WhatId resolved). File attachments are migrated after their parent records are confirmed in Pipedrive. Custom object data is migrated last, mapped to pre-created Pipedrive custom fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Wavity write access during the cutover window, run a final delta import of any records modified during migration, and switch Pipedrive to system-of-record status. We deliver the wBot automation inventory document listing every active Wavity wBot with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Pipedrive Automation Rule equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record linkage issues or field mapping errors raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Wavity wBots as Pipedrive Automation Rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or internal admin task.
