Pipedrive Integration in Automations

Updated this week

The Instantly & Pipedrive integration is now live in our Automation Builder. You can now create powerful, automated workflows that connect Pipedrive with Instantly and other available tools.

Connect Instantly directly with your Pipedrive CRM to automatically sync leads, deals, activities, and more between both platforms.


Step 1: Create Your Automation

  • Go to the Automations tab

  • Click 'Add New' to create a new automation workflow

  • Design your workflow

  • Re-center, and navigate large automations easily

Managing Your Automations

You can easily manage the automations by clicking the three dots(...), re-center, and navigate large automations easily:

  • Run Test: Execute the workflow manually to test triggers and actions

  • Settings: Rename the automation or add a description

  • Re-arrange: Reset the positions of all nodes

  • Save: Save the changes

  • Duplicate: Duplicate the automation

  • History: Check the execution history of the automation workflow

  • Delete: Delete the automation


Step 2: Configure Your Automation Schedule

Before configuring triggers, you can set the schedule for your automations to run. You can customize the following options:

  • Frequency

  • Timezone

  • Repeat every X days

  • Time of Day

  • Run only on weekdays(Mon - Fri)


Step 3: Add a Trigger

Choose which event to start your automation. One trigger can run multiple actions in a single flow.

Pipedrive Triggers

  • Person Created/Updated/Deleted

  • Deal Created/Updated/Deleted

  • Lead Created/Updated/Deleted

  • Activity Created/Updated/Deleted

Instantly Triggers

  • Lead interest status changed

  • Campaign finished for lead

  • Lead added to list

  • Lead replies

HubSpot Triggers

  • Contact created, updated, deleted

  • Deal created, updated, deleted

  • Tasks, notes, communications (email, SMS) created

  • Conversation created

  • New message in conversation

  • Deal association changed

HighLevel Triggers

  • Contact created

  • Contact updated

Trigify Trigger

  • New Signal Detected

RB2B Trigger

  • Person / Company Identified

Webhook

With the new HTTP Request step, you can push data from Instantly to external APIs.


Step 4: Add Conditional Branching (If/Else Logic)

You can now add logic inside your workflows. Conditional branching is the simple “if this, then that” logic inside a workflow.

  • If the condition matches → Action A happens next

  • If the condition does not match → Action B happens next

The workflow makes the decision automatically based on the data: different data → different action → fully automated.

Example:

  • If lead has a corporate domain → send Slack alert to a specific channel

  • If lead uses Gmail/Hotmail → send to a different channel


Step 5: Add Delay

You can set a delay before activating the actions. This will pause the workflow for X minutes/hours/days before continuing.


Step 6: Add Actions

After setting up the triggers, choose what action(s) to perform in Pipedrive, Instantly, or other available apps.

Connect Your Pipedrive Account

If you don't have a Pipedrive account connected, click 'Add new' to connect your Pipedrive account.

Available Actions

  • Actions inside Pipedrive:

    • Create/Update Person

    • Create Activity

    • Create/Update Deal

    • Create/Update Lead

    • Create Note

    • Create Project Task

  • Actions inside Instantly: Add lead to list, Add lead to campaign

  • Actions inside Slack: Send message

Configure Your Action

After selecting an action, click "Continue" to configure:

  • Map variables when creating person: Enter / to map the variables: Email, First name, Last Name, Phone, Organization ID, Label IDs

  • Configure details for other actions

To get the Person ID, you'll need to configure a workflow:

  • Trigger: Person created in Pipedrive

  • Action: Add lead to Instantly campaign or list

  • In the 'Configure' step, add the Pipedrive person ID as a custom variable


Step 7: Test and Activate

Before going live, please always test your automation.

  • Click "Continue" after configuration

  • Test the trigger event

  • Verify the action completes successfully

  • Review the test results

Below is an example of the test result for a person created in Pipedrive: Upon receiving the Data Out result, you can check if the sample person has been created in Pipedrive.

You can now activate the workflow by toggling the switch on and check the execution history of the automation workflow to verify its success.
