Pipedrive automation features

Automate your sales workflow

Automated sales processes support sales reps throughout the entire sales cycle.

For example, Pipedrive’s sales automation features can push a deal forward by auto-creating a deal when a qualified lead is added or activities whenever a deal moves along the pipeline.

When it comes to efficient teamwork, Pipedrive lets you transfer deal ownership between different reps and create workflows for your sales team to follow, reducing the chance of human error.

Pipedrive's automation features also assist you with customer retention by allowing you to schedule campaigns to fuel customer interactions.

How Key Search made its workflow 40% faster

Six years ago, before switching to Pipedrive, Key Search was using an outdated platform that was difficult to use and impossible to customize.

Since transitioning to Pipedrive, the team has implemented more than 100 automations for various processes, including recruitment, invoicing, relationship management with referral partners, candidate management, client management, revenue forecasts and marketing. Now, their processes are 40% faster.

I think that without Pipedrive, we would not have grown so fast. We must hire additional consultants now because the system is getting bigger and we need more help!

Send personalized emails automatically

The modern customer is sophisticated and demands a product that addresses their individual needs at the right moment. According to our State of Sales and Marketing report, salespeople and marketers with access to automation tools are 22% more likely to be satisfied in their role.

With Pipedrive’s Automations feature, you can automatically send a personalized email whenever a deal is created or reaches a certain stage. This keeps your leads and prospects warm while you can focus on other high-priority sales activities.

Schedule sales workflow steps to occur at the right time

Sometimes – whether to personalize the customer experience or simply space out certain automations – you want to schedule automations to occur at a later date/time rather than immediately.

With Pipedrive’s delay feature, you can set up actions to be performed automatically and at your preferred time or date. Use “predefined” or “custom” preferences to add an action, a condition or even a delay to your sequence.

Automate Slack notifications

Using Slack to communicate with your team members? Then you’d probably want to notify them about important activities that affect them, like a new lead being added or a deal moving to a new stage.

With Pipedrive’s Automations feature, you can easily send out real-time, custom Slack notifications. All you have to do is set up your trigger to occur when a deal, contact, or activity is created, updated, or deleted. Alternatively, you can choose from two existing Slack workflow templates that will allow you to send deal-related information to your Slack channel or as a private message. Not using Slack? You can do the same with Microsoft Teams.

Slack isn’t the only app that integrates with our sales automation and marketing automation features. Check out these other great automation tools that are available on our Marketplace.
