Rotting as an automation trigger

Rotting is a feature that has so much potential. But so hard to use.

Right now the only thing I can do with it is create a report of all deals that are rotting.

I would love the ability to set up workflow based on when a deal starts to rot. As simple as: If the deal is starting to rot, then send a Slack message to the deal owner.

It would bring a whole new level of accountability to our sales process.

    Hi @Jack it turns out to be complex to implement this in our current workflow automation. Nonetheless, the team has this in the plans and has done some groundwork already, but it's unfortunately not close around the corner yet.

    Hi @Beth Dureza we're still working towards being able to do that so it's on the roadmap. No ETA for now :( but it's in the pipeline!

    Would really love to see this! @Reelika Virunurm any update on this topic? We could really use this at Metalshub! Right now we have to manually remind people about this and it takes lots of time.

    @Mike van der Valk  has there been any update on this? I'm seeing a lot of requests about this, so it seems like low hanging fruit for you guys. Plus I really really need this feature..

    Update about this request

    We still can't automate based on rotting deals. It's still something we're looking into and it's not forgotten.

    However, we have recently launched the delay step feature that helps with this issue.

    Let's set up an example:

    • your deals start to rot after 10 days
    1. Trigger: when a deal is updated (or added)
    2. Condition: deal is in stage x
    3. Delay for 10 days
    4. Condition: deal has not moved stages
    5. create action

    This will not cover every case, but hope it helps with most of them.

    Hello. Is there an update on this yet? This topic has been open since 2020. It seems a simple feature of creating a to do activity once a deal has reached rotting would be easy enough to execute in 3 years.

    I would also like to see the rotting feature become more useful. As far as I can tell, a deal is marked rotting only when the set number of days is reached. This isn't useful for me. I have long sales cycles, and it would be much better if a deal was rotting if a certain number of days had passed SINCE A SCHEDULED ACTION. This would help me stay on top of my deliverables. Just as one example, if a prospect says, "now isn't the time, but reach out in July, when we do our budgeting," I would love to be able to set a task many months in the future, and not have it be rotting until something's past due.

    Hi everyone, I'm dropping by to provide an update:

    Rotting as an automation trigger is not planned for the very near future, at least. This is because user actions are the triggers for automations in Pipedrive, and a deal reaching a rotten status is not a user action. Automation platforms such as Zapier or Make allow you to achieve this with a “deal matching filter” type of trigger. But this is not available natively in Pipedrive.

    Please keep sharing your feedback and upvoting this idea if you want to see it implemented! The more visible a feedback idea is, the more likely it is to be added to the roadmap for research and development.
