Overview
Weave is a cloud phone and patient communication platform built for dental, veterinary, and medical practices — it combines VoIP, SMS, appointment reminders, and payment processing in one HIPAA-compliant stack. Pipedrive is a general-purpose sales CRM organized around visual pipeline management where deals flow through customizable stages using drag-and-drop. The two platforms share a People-Company-Deal object structure, which makes field-level mapping straightforward for core records. The migration carries Weave contacts (patients), organizations (practices), deals (billing records), activities (calls, texts, voicemails), and custom fields into Pipedrive's equivalent objects via the Pipedrive REST API v2. Activities require transformation because Weave logs them as a combined communication timeline while Pipedrive separates them into Tasks and Events. Healthcare-specific custom fields (insurance status, treatment notes, appointment types) migrate as Pipedrive custom fields — your Pipedrive admin may need to adjust field types since Pipedrive does not offer a native healthcare object model. Workflows, sequences, and appointment automation cannot migrate — Weave's communication workflows must be rebuilt in Pipedrive Automations or exported as a reference document for manual recreation. Pipedrive's token-based API rate limits (effective December 2024) require migration jobs to batch records and throttle requests, which our platform handles automatically.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Weave 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.
Weave
People
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Weave People records map directly to Pipedrive People. Patient name, email, phone, and address fields align field-for-field. Weave's internal patient ID is stored as Source_System_ID__c on the Pipedrive Person for delta-sync traceability. Multiple phone numbers (mobile, home, office) map to Pipedrive's phone field array.
Weave
Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Weave Organization records (dental offices, veterinary clinics, medical practices) map to Pipedrive Organizations. Practice name, address, and website transfer as-is. Weave's multi-location sub-accounts collapse into a primary Organization with additional location data stored in a custom field, and maintain referential integrity across the migration.
Weave
Person-Organization Link
Pipedrive
Organization Person Link
1:1Weave's patient-to-practice association (which clinic a patient belongs to) maps to Pipedrive's Person-Organization link. Pipedrive supports one primary organization per person with additional organizational relationships tracked via the relationship model. This ensures that each patient's primary clinic is visible at a glance, while secondary affiliations are preserved for reporting purposes.
Weave
Deal
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Weave billing deals map to Pipedrive Deals but require transformation. Weave tracks invoice status (paid, pending, overdue) and line items; Pipedrive Deals use stage and probability. We map Weave deal stages (Open, Won, Lost) to Pipedrive pipeline stages and store the original Weave billing status as a custom field.
Weave
Deal Line Item
Pipedrive
Deal Product
1:1Weave deal line items (individual services or procedures) map to Pipedrive Deal Products. If Weave product catalog exists, items migrate as Pipedrive Products linked to deals. Services without a catalog entry become custom line-item descriptions on the Pipedrive deal, ensuring accurate revenue tracking and billing history.
Weave
Call Activity
Pipedrive
Task (type: call)
1:1Weave call logs (incoming, outgoing, missed) migrate as Pipedrive Tasks with Type set to 'Call'. Original call duration, timestamp, and outcome (answered, voicemail, missed) are preserved in task subject lines and custom fields. Owner is resolved by email match against Pipedrive users.
Weave
SMS / Text Activity
Pipedrive
Task (type: email) + Note
1:1Weave text message threads are complex — Pipedrive has no native SMS object. Individual texts migrate as Pipedrive Tasks (one task per SMS) with the message content in the subject. Thread context is preserved by linking all tasks in a thread to the same Person record with a Thread_ID__c custom field grouping them.
Weave
Voicemail
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Weave voicemail records (audio file URL + transcription text) migrate as Pipedrive Notes attached to the relevant Person. Audio files are downloaded and re-uploaded to Pipedrive Files. Transcription text becomes the Note body. Voicemail timestamps and calling party are preserved in Note metadata.
Weave
Appointment / Reminder
Pipedrive
Activity (Event)
1:1Weave appointment records (scheduled, confirmed, cancelled) map to Pipedrive Events. Appointment type (cleaning, procedure, consultation), scheduled time, and confirmation status transfer as custom fields on the Event. Recurring appointments generate a series of Pipedrive Events; Pipedrive does not have native recurring appointment series.
Weave
Payment Record
Pipedrive
Custom Field on Deal
1:1Weave payment transactions (amount, method, date, status) have no direct Pipedrive equivalent because Pipedrive base tiers do not include payment tracking. We store payment data as custom fields on the linked Deal: Payment_Amount__c, Payment_Method__c, Payment_Date__c, and Payment_Status__c. These fields enable financial reporting within Pipedrive and allow users to reconcile payments against invoices without additional integrations.
Weave
Custom Field (Patient Property)
Pipedrive
Custom Field
1:1Weave custom fields (insurance carrier, treatment history, referral source, appointment preferences) require custom fields in Pipedrive. Field type mapping: text fields → Pipedrive varchar, date fields → Pipedrive date, pick-list fields → Pipedrive enum. Pipedrive field keys are generated per workspace — the mapping workbook documents both the source field name and the destination key.
Weave
User / Owner
Pipedrive
User
1:1Weave staff members who own patient records are matched to Pipedrive users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; their records are assigned to a fallback Pipedrive user or held for manual reassignment. Inactive Weave users who are not invited to Pipedrive are excluded from the owner resolution map.

Migration approach
Audit Weave data export and profile custom fields
We export Weave data via API (People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, Custom Fields) and profile the volume and quality of each object type. We identify duplicate records, orphaned organization links, and activity records that span multiple years. This audit produces a written data quality report and a custom field inventory that maps every Weave property to its Pipedrive destination — including field type decisions for healthcare-specific fields like insurance carriers, treatment types, and appointment preferences.
Set up Pipedrive pipelines, stages, and custom fields
Before any records move, we configure Pipedrive's destination schema. We create Pipedrive pipelines that mirror Weave deal pipelines (one pipeline per Weave billing workflow), define stage names and probabilities, and create all required custom fields for healthcare properties. Pipedrive field keys are generated per workspace — we document the key-to-name mapping so field mapping in the migration job references the correct Pipedrive field identifiers.
Resolve Weave owners to Pipedrive users by email
Resolve Weave owners to Pipedrive users by email. We build an owner resolution map by matching Weave staff email addresses against invited Pipedrive users. Weave staff who are not yet Pipedrive users are flagged with a fallback assignment plan — either invite them to Pipedrive before migration or reassign their records to an existing Pipedrive user. No deal or person record lands without a resolved Pipedrive owner. The resolution map also records the original Weave owner ID in a custom field for audit traceability.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records
A representative slice of Weave records (spanning contacts, organizations, deals, calls, texts, and appointments) migrates to Pipedrive first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. Your team reviews the diff to confirm that Weave's patient properties map correctly to Pipedrive custom fields, that activity threading grouping is working, and that owner resolution resolved all staff members. We iterate on the mapping workbook based on feedback before the full migration runs.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs in batched jobs against Pipedrive's API, respecting token-based rate limits. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs concurrently — any Weave records created or modified during the migration are synced to Pipedrive after the bulk load. Audit logs capture every record operation. If reconciliation reveals record count discrepancies or mapping errors, one-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive data and the migration re-runs with corrected mapping.
