January 1, 1970

In the fast-paced world of business, having your tools seamlessly communicate with each other is essential for a streamlined workflow. This is where the integration of PipeDrive with Zapier comes into play, creating a powerhouse combo that can automate your sales process and save you time. Here is your step-by-step guide to set up PipeDrive with Zapier.

Step 1: Create Accounts on PipeDrive and Zapier

Before you begin the integration process, ensure that you have an active account with PipeDrive and an account with Zapier. Sign up on their respective websites, if you haven't already.

Step 2: Understanding Zapier Zaps

Zapier works on the principle of 'Zaps', which are automated workflows that connect your apps and services together. Each Zap consists of a Trigger (an event in one app that starts the workflow) and Actions (the event(s) that are executed in another app as a result of the Trigger).

Step 3: Creating a New Zap

Log into your Zapier account and click on the 'Make a Zap!' button. This is the first step in creating a custom workflow between PipeDrive and another application.

Step 4: Configuring the Trigger

Choose PipeDrive as the Trigger app. You will then see a variety of Trigger events listed, such as 'New Deal', 'New Activity', etc. Select the one that fits your business needs and follow the prompts to link your PipeDrive account to Zapier by signing in and giving the necessary permissions.

Step 5: Test the Trigger

Once you've set up the Trigger, Zapier will ask you to test it to ensure that it's working correctly. This generally involves confirming that Zapier can successfully retrieve information from PipeDrive based on your selected Trigger.

Step 6: Configuring the Action

After the Trigger is set, you need to define the Action. Choose the app you would like to connect to PipeDrive, such as your email marketing software, CRM, or any of the 2,000+ apps that Zapier supports. Then, select an action from the list provided. For instance, you might want to 'Create a new contact in a CRM' whenever a new deal is added in PipeDrive.

Step 7: Test the Action

Similar to the Trigger, Zapier will guide you through testing the Action to ensure data is being passed correctly to the second app and that the task you want automated is performed as expected.

Step 8: Activate the Zap

After assuring everything is working correctly, the final step is to name your Zap and turn it on. With the Zap active, the workflow you designed will run automatically without any further input from you.

Step 9: Monitor and Tweak

Initially, keep an eye on your Zaps to ensure they are performing as expected. You can monitor their activity and history directly in your Zapier dashboard. If needed, you can go back and tweak the settings to better fit your evolving business processes.

Now with PipeDrive and Zapier effectively communicating, you have more time to focus on building relationships and closing deals, while the mundane tasks are automated. Happy automating!
