What comes across

Keep the data that matters to you.

Keep records connected

Keep deals linked to contacts and companies, and activities linked to their records in Close CRM.

Your custom fields come with you

We find your custom fields in Pipedrive CRM and plan how their values will travel to Close CRM before migrating their records.

Bring your activity history

Your activity history arrives on the record it belongs to. This page names which types transfer and any limit on them.

Match owners, pipelines and stages

We match them to your Close CRM users and stages.

Review changes before the run

The plan flags values that change during migration. The original value comes across beside the converted one.

Keep data with no matching field

Where possible, we create a field in Close CRM for data with no matching field.

Before you move

Everything in Close hangs off a company.

This is the shape to understand before you move, and it is Close’s model rather than a choice we made. Close’s primary record is the lead, and a lead is a company. Its own reference says to think of one as both a lead and an account, and that contacts, tasks, opportunities and activities are all children of a lead. So a contact with no company is not a poorer record in Close, it is not a record. We carry your companies first for that reason, and anything that would arrive orphaned is named on your plan rather than written beside an invented company.

Everything in Close hangs off a company

View detailsHide details

Close's primary record is the lead, and a lead is a company. Its own reference says to think of one as both a lead and an account, and that contacts, tasks, opportunities and activities must be children of a lead. So your organizations become leads and everything else arrives underneath the company it belongs to.

Verified against developer.close.com

A record whose company did not come across has nowhere to be, which is why we bring the companies first and name anything orphaned before the run rather than during it.

A deal in Close has no name of its own

View detailsHide details

A Close opportunity is identified by the lead it sits on and shown by the company's name. There is no title field on it. So whatever you called each deal does not survive as a title, and the deal is known by its company and its pipeline instead.

Verified against developer.close.com

The value, the stage, the owner and the close date all come across.

Nobody owns a company in Close

View detailsHide details

A Close lead carries no owner or assigned user, only who created and last updated it. Ownership here sits on the opportunities and the tasks. So your Pipedrive record owners travel on your deals and tasks, and on the company itself there is no field for one to land in.

Verified against developer.close.com

Your record owners travel on your deals and tasks, and you say who takes the companies and the people in them.

A Close custom field has no true or false, and no currency

View detailsHide details

Close's custom field types are text, number, date, datetime, a list of choices, a user, a contact, a custom object, a long text area and a hidden value. There is no checkbox among them and no money type. So a yes or no field arrives as the text of the answer, and an amount keeps its figure and loses what it was denominated in.

Verified against developer.close.com

We show you which of your fields this affects in the free assessment.

An attachment cannot be taken back out

View detailsHide details

Close has no way to delete a file. Its files reference documents one operation, generating a signed upload, and nothing that removes a file, so a file this migration attached stays attached even if you undo everything else. The undo tells you which ones it had to leave rather than passing over them quietly.

Verified against developer.close.com

Everything else we wrote comes back out.

Stays in the source CRM

Your meetings stay in Pipedrive CRM

View detailsHide details

Close builds a meeting from a calendar event synced out of Google Calendar or Outlook. Its API lists no way to create a meeting activity, only to search, read, update and delete the ones that sync made. So a meeting has nowhere to be written.

Verified against developer.close.com

Your calls, emails, notes and tasks all come across as activities on the lead.

Stay in control

Paused runs resume. You can undo the migration.

Undo the migration

One action removes the records we wrote to Close CRM. Review what will remain before you undo and retry.

Paused runs resume

A paused run resumes where it stopped, without losing progress or duplicating records.

Read-only in Pipedrive CRM

We only read Pipedrive CRM. Nothing is written back to it.

Catch up before switching over

Keep working in Pipedrive CRM while you check the results. Then bring across the latest changes before switching over.

FAQ

Questions about moving Pipedrive CRM to Close CRM

What is the biggest change of shape in this migration?

Every record ends up under a company. Close's primary record is the lead, which is a company, and contacts, opportunities, tasks and activities are all children of one. Your organizations become leads, and everything else arrives underneath the company it belongs to. It reads differently from Pipedrive and it is the thing to look at first in the free assessment.

Do my pipelines survive?

Yes, and this is where Close is generous. Close keeps named pipelines with ordered statuses, so your funnel is built in Close as it stands rather than flattened onto one list. A status that means won or lost in Pipedrive is created as one that means won or lost in Close, so your reports add up without anybody re-marking the closing stages by hand.

Will my custom fields come across?

Yes. The free assessment finds them, and they are created as Close custom fields on the lead, contact or opportunity they belong to before records are migrated.

What happens to my emails?

They are logged as history, never sent. Every email we write into Close is written as one that has already been sent, so nothing reaches your customers and nobody is emailed twice. This is the single thing on this page we test on its own, because the failure worth being paranoid about is sending somebody's whole email archive to their own leads.

What will not come across?

Your meeting activities, because Close builds a meeting from a synced calendar event and publishes no way to create one. And your product catalogue, because Close prices an opportunity as a single value on the deal rather than from a list of priced lines. You see all of it on your plan before you pay rather than after the run.

Do I have to build a field map?

No. We work out what each value becomes, so nobody builds a field map. You review the plan before the migration runs. A Pipedrive field with no native home in Close can be brought along as a new custom field instead of being left behind.

Who actually runs the migration?

We run the migration and stay reachable. Connect Pipedrive for the free assessment and price, then Close to complete the plan. Nothing moves until you ask.

Can I keep working in Pipedrive while this happens?

Yes. We only read Pipedrive and never write back to it. Keep working while you check the results, then bring across the latest changes before switching over.

What if the result is not what I expected?

You can undo the migration, correct the issue and run again. Created fields, shared catalogue data and any other items listed as retained stay in place.

What does it cost?

One payment, based on the records that move. The free assessment of Pipedrive gives you the exact count and price before you commit. Payment is by invoice, with no subscription.
