Feature Wish: Syncing Tasks with Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminder
I would like to synchronize the tasks from the PipeDrive Activities with (1) Microsoft To Do and (2) Apple Reminders.
Reasoning: Two of the most important principles of self-organization are:
(1) Tasks are not appointments/events and appointments/events are not tasks
⇒ Tasks therefore belong on the To-Do list / in the To-Do app, and not on the calendar!
(2) There can only ever be *one* To-Do list (To Do app) ⇒ Tasks from PipeDrive belong on your only To-Do list / To-Do app.
⇒ Synchronization of all PipeDrive tasks with the leading To Do apps: Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminders.
In both apps, you can keep separate lists and merge them into a common view. With a separate list for PipeDrive tasks, 2-way synchronization would be possible.

AFAIK, Apple Reminders doesn't have any REST API. The only way to integrate with it outside of the Apple ecosystem is from a CloudKit JS web app ... so in theory you could build and host that yourself. But it's not a simple solution.
Microsoft ToDo does have a REST API, so that's definitely possible - you could build a scenario using Make to synchronize between Pipedrive Activities and Microsoft ToDo.

It turns out that Make has already cracked this one ... there's an iOS app for Make that provides a REST API to create and watch reminders!
The only caveat is that you also need to have the Make app from the App Store running on your iOS device.
