Overview
Zedmed is a clinical and administrative practice management platform for Australian medical practitioners — it stores patient demographics, appointment histories, clinical notes, billing item codes, and practitioner records. Pipedrive is a sales CRM built around Leads, Persons, Organizations, Deals, and Activities with a Kanban pipeline view. These platforms sit in different domains: Zedmed manages the clinical encounter; Pipedrive manages the sales pipeline. The migration carries forward whatever can be represented in Pipedrive's object model — primarily contact records, organization records, and text notes — while treating Zedmed's clinical data as reference material that requires manual structuring in Pipedrive. FlitStack AI accesses Zedmed via its export interface, maps patient contact fields to Pipedrive Person fields, clinic data to Pipedrive Organization fields, and surfaces clinical notes and billing references as Pipedrive custom fields. Pipedrive's API handles the import with rate-limit awareness; workflows, appointment sequences, and clinical task templates do not transfer and must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's automation tools. A delta-pickup window captures any records modified during cutover so Pipedrive reflects Zedmed's final state at go-live.
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 Zedmed 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.
Zedmed
Patient
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Zedmed patient demographics (name, date of birth, contact phone, Medicare number as custom field) map directly to Pipedrive Person fields. Date of birth migrates as a custom date field since Pipedrive has no native DOB. Medicare number, concession status, and healthcare card number migrate as custom fields on the Person record for reference.
Zedmed
Patient Address
Pipedrive
Person (address fields)
1:1Street address, suburb, state, and postcode from Zedmed patient records map to Pipedrive Person address fields. If the patient has multiple addresses recorded in Zedmed, the residential address maps as primary; postal address maps to a secondary address field or custom field depending on plan.
Zedmed
Emergency Contact
Pipedrive
Person (custom fields)
1:1Zedmed stores emergency contact name and phone separately from the patient record. FlitStack maps these to Person custom fields (Emergency_Contact_Name__c, Emergency_Contact_Phone__c) so the information stays attached to the patient Person in Pipedrive for front-desk reference. This ensures administrative staff can retrieve emergency contact details quickly without accessing the clinical system, supporting streamlined patient intake and emergency protocols.
Zedmed
Practice / Clinic
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Zedmed practice or clinic records (name, address, phone, provider number) map to Pipedrive Organizations. The practice name becomes Organization name. Provider number and location-specific details migrate as custom fields. If the practice has multiple practitioners, each practitioner-Patient record links to the Organization.
Zedmed
Practitioner / Doctor
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Zedmed practitioner records (provider name, AHPRA registration, specialty) map to Pipedrive Persons flagged as practitioners. The practitioner name, specialty, and contact details migrate as Person fields; AHPRA number and provider number migrate as custom fields. Practitioners are linked to the Practice Organization.
Zedmed
Appointment
Pipedrive
Activity (Task)
1:1Zedmed appointment records (date, time, type, practitioner) cannot map directly to Pipedrive deals or activities because Pipedrive has no appointment scheduling module. FlitStack creates Activity Tasks representing past appointments with subject, date, and practitioner name for historical reference. Future appointments require Pipedrive's calendar integration or a scheduling add-on.
Zedmed
Clinical Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Free-text clinical notes attached to Zedmed patient records migrate as Pipedrive Notes linked to the Person record. Note content is preserved verbatim. Any formatting from Zedmed's WP Templates (RTF format) is stripped to plain text during migration. Clinical notes are imported after Persons so the parent link resolves correctly.
Zedmed
Billing Item / Fee
Pipedrive
Custom fields on Person + Deal
1:1Zedmed billing items (MBS item codes, private fees, payer types) associated with a patient encounter cannot map to Pipedrive Deals because there are no native Zedmed deals. FlitStack creates Person-level custom fields (Last_Billing_Item__c, Payer_Type__c, Concession_Status__c) to preserve billing reference data for front-desk and administrative staff.
Zedmed
Payer
Pipedrive
Custom field on Person
1:1Zedmed payer records (Medicare, DVA, TAC, WorkCover, health fund) are mapped as custom pick-list fields on Pipedrive Person (Primary_Payer__c, Secondary_Payer__c). Each payer type is preserved as a value so staff can filter Pipedrive views by patient payer category without accessing Zedmed.
Zedmed
Recall / Appointment Reminder
Pipedrive
Activity (Task)
1:1Zedmed recall records for follow-up appointments migrate as Pipedrive Activity Tasks with a due date and subject indicating the recall type (e.g., 'Recall: Cervical Screening'). Active recalls map as open tasks; completed recalls map as completed tasks with the completion date preserved.
Zedmed
Referral
Pipedrive
Note + custom field
1:1Patient referral letters and specialist referrals stored in Zedmed migrate as Notes on the Person record. Referring practitioner name and referral expiry date migrate as custom fields (Referrer_Name__c, Referral_Expiry__c) so sales or admin staff can track referral validity in Pipedrive without opening Zedmed.
Zedmed
Custom Template / SmartForm
Pipedrive
No equivalent
1:1Zedmed clinical templates and SmartForms used for structured clinical data collection have no Pipedrive equivalent. These must be recreated manually as Pipedrive Smart Docs templates or external document tools. FlitStack exports template field definitions as a reference document for your Pipedrive admin.

Migration approach
Extract and inventory Zedmed source data
FlitStack works with your Zedmed administrator to export patient records, practitioner records, appointments, clinical notes, and billing items from the Zedmed portal. We inventory the record counts per object type, flag any malformed fields (empty Medicare numbers, duplicate patient IDs, RTF artifacts in note text), and produce a data quality report before writing a single record to Pipedrive. If Zedmed exports produce multiple files (e.g., separate patient and billing exports), we reconcile them using patient ID as the join key.
Configure Pipedrive custom fields before data lands
Pipedrive custom fields must exist in Pipedrive before the migration imports data into them. FlitStack creates all required custom fields — Medicare number, date of birth, concession status, emergency contact, AHPRA registration, specialty, primary payer, last billing item, provider number — using the Pipedrive API before the migration run. We deliver the field list with labels and Pipedrive-assigned field IDs so your admin can verify the field setup before we proceed.
Map and load organizations first, then persons
Pipedrive requires Organizations to exist before you can link Persons to them. We sequence the migration: Practices and Clinics load into Pipedrive Organizations first, then Practitioners load as Persons linked to their Organization, then Patients load as Persons linked to their registered Practice Organization. Appointment history and clinical notes load after all Persons are created so the parent link resolves correctly. This ordering avoids orphaned records and duplicate person entries.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning patients, practitioners, appointments, and clinical notes — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level comparison report showing source value versus Pipedrive field value for every mapped column. You verify that Medicare numbers landed in the correct custom field, that practitioner names linked to the right Organization, and that clinical notes attached to the correct Person. We correct any mapping errors before the full run commits.
Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full dataset migrates into Pipedrive using throttled API writes that respect Pipedrive's rate limits. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs in parallel, capturing any patient records modified in Zedmed during the migration window. FlitStack logs every record written, every custom field populated, and every note attached. If reconciliation fails — a record is missing a required field, a parent link doesn't resolve — the audit log identifies the exact record and FlitStack corrects it before you go live. One-click rollback reverts all written records if the outcome is not acceptable.
