Pipedrive Email Sync is Broken

For over a month I've had sync issues with Pipedrive and Outlook email sync. Out of nowhere...the emails just stopped syncing. After trying to tell support it wasn't me...there was a comment finally after about a week that "A bug has been found"

It's now been an entire month and it's not fixed.

We lost a large number of deals because we had no visibility of customer responses let alone communications.

I had to remove one email, and sync with my personal email...and then the issue started happening again.

This is completely unacceptable. To be told each time I press your support "We're looking in to it" and never given an actual reason behind what is going on is a miserable user experience. This lack of transparency has caused massive disruption to our small business and hours of rework and apologies to customers because "we don't know what our CRM provider is doing"

Why am I still forced to pay full price for something that is clearly broken at your own admission?

    We are going through the same thing. Tried multiple times to work with @Pipedrive Admin  Support and had no luck at getting this fixed.

    Yep...as of this morning...one email came through...while 9 are sitting there in my actual inbox. These people are hopeless in telling anyone what the actual problem is and just keep saying "we're looking in to it". Meanwhile, my business is losing man hours on manual workarounds. Very annoyed.

    Hello @Tups Robati ,
    I am Diana from Pipedrive Support.

    I saw internally and your account is being affected by a very specific bug, only affecting a small number of companies. Due to the uniqueness of the issue, it is harder to reproduce and tackle it. However, I would like to assure you that we are working on getting this fixed and hope we can bring you some good news soon.

    Agreed.   I use Thunderbird and It was working.....up until Aug. 5th; then apparently decided to take a dump.  Also, the "open" and link click" notifications aren't working either.  Tried all the suggestions, and no-go.  Please Help, Pipedrive!!!  Don't make me switch CRM's!!

    I have a similar problem. Pipedrive doesn't receives emails, however it can send. It happened 4 times already and the frequency of the problem is increasing. Each time it happens I contact support, they "fix something internally" or "do some internal adjustments" and the email connection is restored in minutes.

    The frequency of the problem is increasing.

    Has anybody been able to resolve this?

     

    Thanks

    I am having this same problem. It is getting so bad I'm about ready to jump the Pipedrive ship, and I am exhausted from lost sales team productivity. Anyone try Insightly?

    Same issue, it affects only certain users at a time

    i can send emails with only latency problems, but the inbox/outbox freezes and doesn't show a record of anything being sent/received after a certain time
