10 min read
Overview
This guide walks you through exporting your data from Pipedrive CRM and importing it into SalesBob. The process involves three main data types:
- Organizations (imported as Customers)
- Persons (imported as Customer Contacts)
- Deals
Estimated time: 15-30 minutes depending on your data volume.
Before You Begin
- You need admin access in both Pipedrive and SalesBob.
- Import organizations first, then persons, then deals — this preserves the relationships between records.
- SalesBob's import wizard has a built-in Pipedrive preset that automatically maps columns for you.
- You can undo any import within 24 hours if something goes wrong.
Step 1: Export Organizations from Pipedrive
Start by exporting your organization records from Pipedrive:
- 1 In Pipedrive, go to Contacts → Organizations.
- 2 Click the ⋯ menu (top right) and select Export filter results.
- 3 Choose CSV as the file format.
- 4 Select the fields you want to export (at minimum: Organization, Phone, Email, Address, Owner).
- 5 Click Export and download the CSV file when ready.
Step 2: Import Organizations into SalesBob
Now import the exported organizations into SalesBob:
- 1 In SalesBob, go to Settings → Import.
- 2 Select Customers as the import type.
- 3 Upload the CSV file you exported from Pipedrive.
- 4 Select the Pipedrive preset — columns will be mapped automatically.
- 5 Review the preview and click Import.
Step 3: Export Persons from Pipedrive
Next, export your person records:
- 1 In Pipedrive, go to Contacts → People.
- 2 Click the ⋯ menu and select Export filter results.
- 3 Choose CSV as the file format.
- 4 Select the fields to export (at minimum: First name, Last name, Email, Phone, Organization, Job title).
- 5 Click Export and download the CSV file.
Step 4: Import Persons into SalesBob
Import the persons and link them to the organizations you already imported:
- 1 In SalesBob, go to Settings → Import.
- 2 Select Customer Contacts as the import type.
- 3 Upload the CSV file you exported from Pipedrive.
- 4 Select the Pipedrive preset.
- 5 The "Organization" column will be matched to existing customers by name. Review the preview and click Import.
Step 5: Export Deals from Pipedrive
Finally, export your deals:
- 1 In Pipedrive, go to Deals.
- 2 Click the ⋯ menu and select Export filter results.
- 3 Choose CSV as the file format.
- 4 Select the fields to export (at minimum: Title, Value, Pipeline, Stage, Organization, Expected close date).
- 5 Click Export and download the CSV file.
Step 6: Import Deals into SalesBob
Import your deals and link them to customers:
- 1 In SalesBob, go to Settings → Import.
- 2 Select Deals as the import type.
- 3 Upload the CSV file you exported from Pipedrive.
- 4 Select the Pipedrive preset.
- 5 The "Organization" column will be matched to existing customers. Review the preview and click Import.
Tips & Best Practices
- Import order matters — always import organizations first, then persons, then deals. This ensures that persons and deals can be linked to their parent organizations.
- Use the duplicate check — SalesBob's import wizard can skip or update existing records if you re-import. Choose "Skip duplicates" for a safe first import.
- Check the preview carefully — the import wizard shows you exactly how your data will be mapped before you commit. Verify that key fields like organization name and email are correctly mapped.
- Undo if needed — every import can be rolled back within 24 hours from the import history page.
- Custom fields — if you have Pipedrive custom fields that don't match SalesBob's preset mapping, you can manually map them in the column mapping step.
