Overview
Moving from Zymplify to Pipedrive is primarily a simplification and refocusing: Zymplify bundles intent-driven prospecting, marketing automation, and customer success into a single platform, while Pipedrive is a sales-first CRM built around visual pipeline management. We extract the CRM-layer data (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities) via API and migrate it directly into Pipedrive's People, Organizations, and Deals objects. Intent signals, Bombora scores, and G2 Buyer Intent metadata migrate as custom fields on Organization records; the scoring models themselves do not carry over. Sales Cadences and Marketing Workflows do not migrate as automation code; we deliver a requirements spec documenting each cadence step and workflow trigger for the customer's admin to rebuild in Pipedrive's Automation Rules or an external sequencing tool. Zymplify's CDP Hub list-management and deduplication records translate to cleansed contact fields with enrichment provenance preserved in a custom field. The migration delivers a clean, pipeline-ready Pipedrive instance with historical context intact and a clear handoff document for the rebuild phase.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Zymplify 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.
Zymplify
Contact
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Zymplify Contact records with standard fields (name, email, phone, job title, role) map directly to Pipedrive Person records. The CDP Hub's data-cleansing status and enrichment source provenance migrate as custom fields on the Person record (e.g., enrichment_source__c, data_quality_status__c). Any deduplication decisions made in the Zymplify CDP Hub are preserved as a note on the Person record indicating which duplicate was retained.
Zymplify
Company
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1Zymplify Company records map to Pipedrive Organization. The Company domain, industry, employee count, and revenue fields migrate to their Pipedrive equivalents. Bombora-powered intent scores and G2 Buyer Intent signal metadata (intent_topic, intent_strength, signal_source) migrate as custom fields on the Organization record. The original Zymplify intent data is treated as enrichment provenance rather than native Pipedrive data, and the custom fields carry the raw signal values for admin reference.
Zymplify
Deal / Pipeline Stage
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Zymplify Deal records map to Pipedrive Deal. The Zymplify pipeline stage assignment maps to a Pipedrive Pipeline and Stage. We preserve Zymplify's custom stage names as-is and configure the corresponding Pipedrive pipeline stages before import. Deal value, close date, owner, and associated Organization and Contact links migrate with full fidelity. Any Zymplify custom deal properties migrate as custom Deal fields in Pipedrive.
Zymplify
Pipeline
Pipedrive
Pipeline + Stage
lossyZymplify's pipeline definitions become Pipedrive Pipelines. Each Zymplify pipeline stage maps to a Pipedrive Stage within the corresponding Pipeline. Stage ordering, probabilities, and open/closed/won/loss status are configured in Pipedrive before the Deal import begins. If Zymplify uses multiple pipelines, we create a separate Pipedrive Pipeline for each and assign the relevant Record Type.
Zymplify
Sales Cadence
Pipedrive
Sequence Definition (documentation + rebuild plan)
lossyZymplify Sales Cadences are outreach sequences combining email steps, delays, and task actions. No direct equivalent exists in Pipedrive. We export the cadence structure (step order, step type, delay duration, task description) as a structured sequence definition document and create a rebuild plan for Pipedrive's Automation Rules or a third-party sequencing tool such as Mailshake, Lemlist, or Salesloft. The cadence records themselves do not migrate as executable automation; the handoff document gives the admin everything needed to rebuild.
Zymplify
Marketing Workflow
Pipedrive
Automation Definition (documentation + rebuild plan)
lossyZymplify Marketing Workflows with triggers, conditions, and actions are Zymplify-native automation constructs with no direct Pipedrive equivalent. Pipedrive's Automation Rules handle basic record-triggered actions but do not replicate Zymplify's full workflow builder. We document each active workflow in a requirements spec including trigger event, condition branches, action list, and recommended Pipedrive Automation Rule or third-party tool equivalent. Workflow definitions do not migrate as code.
Zymplify
Customer Success Hub / Churn Forecast
Pipedrive
Custom Fields on Organization
lossyZymplify customer health scores and churn risk indicators are calculated from platform-specific models that cannot be exported as structured objects. We extract the raw health metrics and risk signals as custom fields on the Organization record (e.g., health_score__c, churn_risk_indicator__c, last_health_check__c). The scoring model itself does not carry over; the customer's CS team rebuilds the scoring logic in Pipedrive using the raw signals as input data.
Zymplify
CDP Hub / Data Cleansing Record
Pipedrive
Custom Fields on Person
lossyThe Zymplify CDP Hub maintains list management and deduplication records including enrichment status, source-of-truth flags, and duplicate suppression decisions. We carry the cleansed contact data as standard Pipedrive Person fields and flag enrichment provenance in a custom field (e.g., enrichment_provenance__c, cdp_cleansed_date__c). Duplicate suppression decisions are preserved as notes on the retained Person record indicating which Zymplify entry was superseded.
Zymplify
Engagement: Email
Pipedrive
Activity (type: email)
1:1Zymplify email engagements (sent, opened, clicked) map to Pipedrive Activity records with type = email. Subject, body, timestamp, and outcome (delivered, opened, bounced) migrate as Activity fields. Each Activity is linked to the corresponding Person and Organization via Pipedrive's activity assignment fields. Email content migrates as a formatted note attached to the Activity.
Zymplify
Engagement: Call
Pipedrive
Activity (type: call)
1:1Zymplify call engagements map to Pipedrive Activity records with type = call. Call duration, disposition, outcome, and any notes from the call are preserved in the Activity record. Call recording URLs from Zymplify are noted in a custom field on the Activity since Pipedrive does not natively host call recordings. Activity timestamp preserves the original call date for timeline accuracy.
Zymplify
Engagement: Meeting
Pipedrive
Activity (type: meeting)
1:1Zymplify meeting engagements (including video call and in-person meeting types) map to Pipedrive Activity records with type = meeting. Meeting title, date and time, location or video link, attendees, and outcome migrate as Activity fields. Attendees are linked to the corresponding Person records where email addresses match.
Zymplify
Engagement: Note
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Zymplify Note engagements map to Pipedrive Notes attached to the relevant Person, Organization, or Deal record. Note content, author, and creation timestamp migrate directly. Notes with attachments are handled by migrating the attachment URL or filename as a note comment since Pipedrive Notes support text content with optional file attachments.

Sequences and Automations not exposed via REST API
Cost escalates via workflow caps and add-ons
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Zymplify API field enumeration
We connect to the Zymplify API to enumerate all object types, standard fields, custom fields, and their data types across Contacts, Companies, Deals, Cadences, Workflows, and Engagement records. We also extract the pipeline stage definitions, cadence step counts, and workflow trigger logic. This phase produces a written Zymplify field inventory that maps every source field to a target Pipedrive field name, type, and object. We validate the field count against Pipedrive's per-plan custom field limits and flag any consolidation requirements before proceeding.
Pipedrive pipeline and schema configuration
We configure Pipedrive before any data import: create Pipelines and Stages matching Zymplify's pipeline definitions, create custom fields (including intent signal fields, health score fields, and enrichment provenance fields) on the Organization and Person objects, and set up user accounts mapped to Zymplify Owners. Pipedrive configuration is validated in a staging run before production migration begins. Any stage probability mappings and deal category assignments are confirmed with the customer's admin during this phase.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Pipedrive sandbox environment using production data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts (Organizations, Persons, Deals, Activities), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Zymplify source, and validates that custom fields are populated correctly. Intent signal fields, enrichment provenance, and cadence documentation are verified as complete. Any field mapping corrections, stage configuration adjustments, or custom field additions happen in this phase. Admin sign-off is required before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Zymplify Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Engagement records and match by email against the Pipedrive destination User table. Owners without a matching Pipedrive User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Pipedrive Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Zymplify user is still with the company). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on Person, Organization, and Deal records in Pipedrive.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Zymplify Companies with intent signal custom fields), Persons (with OrganizationId resolved and enrichment provenance custom fields), Deals (with OrganizationId and OwnerId resolved and stage mapping confirmed), Activity history (calls, emails, meetings as Activities via Pipedrive REST API with rate-limit handling and batch chunking), and cadence documentation (as a separate structured output). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. During this phase we also deliver the Sales Cadence and Marketing Workflow requirements specifications as structured documents for the rebuild phase.
Cutover, validation, and cadence/workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Zymplify writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Pipedrive as the system of record. We deliver the Sales Cadence and Marketing Workflow requirements specifications to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide for Pipedrive Automation Rules and sequencing tool selection. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild Zymplify Cadences as Pipedrive automation rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate rebuild engagement or an internal admin task.
