Using the Organization Name I want to add a link to a custom field:

Unfortunately that doesn't work when the Organization name contains a whitespace

    You will have to encode the URL thus constructed.

    An automation set up with Make/Integromat or Zapier should help you do this.

    Hello @Amit Sarda - Pipedrive Consultant - AmitSarda.xyz ,

    thanks for your help. Doing it in other automation platforms works of course. But I don't understand why pipedrive can't properly do it themselves.

    If they did everything a regular specialized platform could do, it would be like running 5 separate SaaS companies under one umbrella:

    • CRM
    • Email Marketing
    • Project Management
    • Chatbots
    • Automation

    As a user, always better for me to find a platform that allows doing something today, than to wait endlessly for something that may not happen. :)
