Overview
Workiz is a field service management platform built around scheduling, dispatching, and tracking jobs for on-demand service businesses. Pipedrive is a sales CRM built around pipelines, deals, and activities. The two platforms share core business entities — clients, contacts, tasks, notes — but Workiz adds field-service-specific concepts (job status, assigned tech, job type, materials, pricing estimates) that have no direct Pipedrive equivalent. We migrate Workiz clients to Pipedrive Person records, Workiz jobs to Pipedrive Deals with custom fields for job type and materials, and Workiz leads directly into Pipedrive Leads. We do not migrate Workiz automations (triggers, conditions, notifications) — those must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's automation builder, and we export your Workiz automation definitions as JSON for that rebuild. We access Workiz data via API export or flat-file extraction and load into Pipedrive using the REST API with per-plan rate-limit batching. In addition, we preserve original timestamps on each record, assign Workiz owners to corresponding Pipedrive users, and map Workiz job status values to pipeline stages defined in your Pipedrive account. All custom properties such as job type, materials, and pricing estimates are extracted from Workiz and written to Pipedrive custom fields, with field keys generated before the migration run. We also validate data integrity by checking for missing required fields, duplicate emails, and orphaned records, producing a pre‑migration audit report for your review.
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 Workiz 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.
Workiz
Client
Pipedrive
Person + Organization
1:1Workiz clients are people or businesses with addresses and contact info. They map to Pipedrive Person (contact details) and optionally to an Organization if the client has a company name. The decision rule (person-only or person + org) is set before migration based on your data.
Workiz
Job
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Workiz jobs represent service events — each with a client link, assigned tech, status, type, start/end time, address, notes, and pricing. Pipedrive Deals hold the commercial record with a linked Person and Deal value. We map job status to Pipedrive stage, job type to a custom Deal field, and pricing to Deal value. Original timestamps preserved as custom datetime fields.
Workiz
Lead
Pipedrive
Lead
1:1Workiz leads with name, contact info, source, and status migrate directly to Pipedrive Leads. Pipedrive Leads inherit all Deal custom fields, so job-type and materials custom fields are available on Lead records for pre-conversion tracking. This direct mapping preserves lead source attribution and allows your sales team to follow up on opportunities before they convert to deals, maintaining continuity from initial contact through conversion.
Workiz
Estimate
Pipedrive
Deal custom fields
1:1Workiz estimates store itemized pricing for a potential job. Pipedrive has no native estimate object — we migrate estimate totals and line items as custom fields on the Deal (or as linked Products if item-level detail is needed). Estimate number maps to a custom text field.
Workiz
Invoice
Pipedrive
Deal + custom fields
1:1Workiz invoices track billing against completed jobs. Pipedrive has no native invoice object — we migrate invoice totals, status, and balance due as custom fields on the linked Deal. Workiz payment records (partial payments, Wisetack loans) migrate as custom fields.
Workiz
User / Technician
Pipedrive
User
1:1Workiz users (techs, dispatchers, admins) resolve to Pipedrive users by email match. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — invite them to Pipedrive first or assign to a fallback owner. GPS location and availability status are Workiz-specific and have no Pipedrive equivalent.
Workiz
Automation
Pipedrive
No equivalent — rebuild required
1:1Workiz automations use trigger-action rules with AND/OR conditions to send tech notifications, customer reminders, and update job statuses. Pipedrive Workflow Automations are CRM-event based and cannot replicate field-service dispatch logic. We export Workiz automation definitions as JSON for your Pipedrive admin to use as a rebuild reference.
Workiz
Product / Item
Pipedrive
Product
1:1Workiz items (parts, labor rates, flat fees) used in jobs and estimates migrate to Pipedrive Products with name, unit price, and unit. Products can be attached to Deal line items in Pipedrive, enabling estimate-to-Deal alignment. Each product inherits the original Workiz item code, allowing cross-referencing after migration and supporting accurate revenue reporting in Pipedrive.
Workiz
Activity (call, email, note)
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Workiz logged calls, emails, and notes attached to jobs migrate to Pipedrive Activities linked to the corresponding Deal or Person. Original timestamps and activity content preserved. Pipedrive Activities include a Type field distinguishing calls, emails, tasks, and meetings. Activity owners map to the Pipedrive user who performed the action, preserving accountability across the migrated history.
Workiz
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
File
1:1Workiz files attached to jobs (photos, signed documents, receipts) re-upload to Pipedrive and attach to the corresponding Deal or Person record. Pipedrive's Files section supports attachments up to the plan storage limit. We preserve original file names and metadata, and we store a reference URL in a custom field for quick access from within Pipedrive.

Migration approach
Pull Workiz data via API or flat-file export
We extract the full Workiz data model via API or flat-file export, covering clients, jobs, leads, estimates, invoices, users, and custom properties. We review the export for relational integrity — flagging duplicate clients in flat-file exports and broken associations — and clean the dataset before any mapping logic runs. During cleaning we also standardize phone formats, validate email syntax, and remove records with missing mandatory fields. Any missing required Pipedrive fields are noted for later custom field creation. The result is a validated, de‑duplicated dataset ready for mapping.
Map Workiz entities to Pipedrive objects
We map Workiz clients to Pipedrive Person records, Workiz jobs to Pipedrive Deals with custom fields for job type and materials, and Workiz leads to Pipedrive Leads. We resolve Workiz assigned users to Pipedrive users by email match and flag any unmatched users before migration. We also create Pipedrive custom fields for job type, materials, source, and recurring flags based on the Workiz data.
Batch load respecting Pipedrive rate limits by plan tier
Pipedrive enforces token-based burst limits that vary by plan (20–120 requests per 2-second window). We batch Workiz records into plan-appropriate chunks and throttle API calls to stay within your Pipedrive plan limits. Retry logic with exponential backoff handles 429 responses so no records are dropped during throttled windows. Before loading, we also verify that all required Pipedrive custom fields exist in your account. If a field is missing, we pause the batch and generate a field‑creation checklist for your admin to complete, ensuring a smooth import.
Run a sample migration with field-level validation
A representative sample — typically 50–100 records spanning clients, jobs, leads, and custom fields — migrates first. We generate a field-level validation report showing source values alongside destination values so you can confirm job type, materials, status-to-stage mapping, and owner resolution before the full run commits. The report highlights any mismatches in field types, missing pick‑list options, or unexpected null values, allowing you to adjust mappings and custom field configurations before the full data load proceeds.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Pipedrive. A delta-pickup window captures any Workiz records created or modified during the cutover window (typically 24–48 hours). FlitStack AI provides an audit log of every migrated record and flags any that require manual review. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues. After the migration completes, we run a final reconciliation script that compares record counts, field counts, and a random sample of values between Workiz and Pipedrive, delivering a detailed discrepancy report for your team to address.
