    • Can I use apollo.io with pipedrive? There is no native integration, however we would encourage you to use an API connector like Make to connect the two platforms, read more here https://www.make.com/en/integrations/apollo/pipedrive
    • Do you have short videos for each automation that is available? We don't have available videos for each automation available, as Pipedrive can tailor according to your needs but we have available videos that will explain how to create them: https://learn.pipedrive.com/app/courses/3374b0da-28a2-47e4-adda-0f59dbe954a8
    • Is it possible to upload pdf documents, that have been saved in a Pipedrive contact, to emails sent via Pipedrive? To attach an important file to a deal or contact in Pipedrive, go to the detail view of the item and select the "Files" option. You can drag and drop files into that section, or click "Select from your computer" to browse through your computer's files and select your intended file.
    • Question was not how to get info from Linkedin but how to send MESSAGES from Pipedrive to Linkedin with automations...not sure this was answered. Might be wrong. There is a way to send messages to Linkedin contacts directly from Pipedrive interface using Dux-Soup connector integration available here https://www.pipedrive.com/en/marketplace/app/dux-soup-connector/9936d65b85221773 
    • Where is the best place to find learning tools? Our Knowledge Base or Academy: https://learn.pipedrive.com/app and https://support.pipedrive.com/
    • We don't currently use the Leads inbox. Instead we use 'validate', 'lead-in' and 'nurture' stages for deals but have been considering classifying some of these as 'leads' instead. What would be some pros and cons of just using 'deals' rather than both 'deals' and 'leads'? The biggest advantage is data cleanup, you will be able to understand better your conversion from actual opportunities rather than the ones you are still validating. You can create different approaches by making that differentiation. The con of just using deals instead of spliting is really connected to your insights and reports of your business.
    • "Regarding the pdf documents stored in pipedrive as a tool. I can create word documents, true - but not upload general pdfs. Customer support informed me that this might not be possible at all" To upload pdf you can use our feature of files, different from our Documents features. Here an explanation: https://support.pipedrive.com/en/article/how-can-i-upload-a-file-to-a-deal-or-a-contact
    • Is it possible that sometimes the tracking of email opening features doesn't work? That behavior is not expected, we would ask you to open a conversation with our Support team
    • Is there any way we can allow someone on the team to have pipeline VIEW access only? You can determine the access that your users might have, you can make it so that it is specific to pipeline view but that user will continue to have access to other features, but you can restrict their access to what they are viewing or what can they have access to: https://www.pipedrive.com/en/features/permissions-visibility

    • IK heb een vraag over de instellingen van klanten. Mijn collega's kunnen in pipedrive niet alles zien.... Klanten zijn verborgen/hidden. EN zelf organisaties en acties zijn verborgen/hidden. Waar ligt het probleem. The problem might be on the permission sets and their type of user. At Pipedrive you have admins, regular, basic users and each one might have restrictions. You can manage their visibility in company settings: https://support.pipedrive.com/en/article/permission-sets
    • Most automations are based on the leads found on the prospector which unfortunately have email which are often not valid If a lead that comes from Prospector is invalid it can be returned and credit applied back to your account.  
    • Is there an email address where we can send our Ideas for new features for pipe drive? Yes, at Pipedrive we love to hear your feedback please send it through our Support team via chat our support@pipedrive.com
