PipeDrive

Pipedrive is one of the most popular CRM among SMB's and Startups alike.

TexAu integrates with Pipedrive so you can feed leads on autopilot!

Here's a workflow example you can use to use this integration. To learn about the complete process in Sales Navigator, please refer to this article about Hubspot integration:

First let's start with a simple use case: scraping profiles from LinkedIn and sending the details to Pipedrive:





To integrate Pipedrive with TexAu, you will need an API Key.

First, go to Pipedrive Settings' Personal Preferences. Generate a new token, then copy your unique API Key.



In the Pipedrive module, there are two options:

• Add Person Lead to Pipedrive (contact)
• Add Company Lead to Pipedrive (company)

The process is identical for both.



1. Add a Person (Profile) to Pipedrive

Here in our example, we will use the first one to create a new lead in Pipedrive.

At the end of your workflow, we added the "Add Person Lead to Pipedrive" to create a need lead in our CRM.



Here is a description of all the fields you can map:

• : your Pipedrive API Key
• Lead Title: the prospect's job title
• Person Name: prospect's full name
• Owner ID: your Pipedrive User ID (can be blank by default if you are the Pipedrive admin)
• Org ID: your Pipedrive Organization ID (can be blank by default if you are the Pipedrive admin)
• Email: prospect's Email

You can also set the visibility permission from TexAu to Pipedrive to specify who can see the leads you are creating in your organization.

How to create additional fields in Pipedrive and TexAu?

For this, you will need to create an additional field in Pipedrive first.

How to create a custom field in Pipedrive?

First, go to Settings > Company > Data fields, and click on “Add custom field”:



Here, you have 2 choices:

1. Use an existing Pipedrive field, or
2. Create any custom field



There are 4 types of custom field categories in Pipedrive:

• Lead/deal field
• Person field
• Organization field
• Product field



In our case we only need 2 of them, namely:

• Person field: for lead individuals
• Organization field: for companies/account entities



Let's suppose you want to create a custom Person field for the LinkedIn company website domain of the prospect here:

1. create a new custom field
2. copy its associated API key





On the newly created field, you will see that each field has a specific ID:



Just copy that new field API key value in a safe place, we will reuse it in a minute in TexAu.



How to add a Pipedrive custom field API Key value as a variable in TexAu?



In the Pipedrive module of TexAu, add the following:





Now, to add the custom field we created earlier for getting the website domain, you will need to create a field in TexAu too:

• Description: let's call it "website" here





Finally, assign the website domain variable you collected from scraping the Sales Navigator company profile page:
