Hi Pipedrive Community,

    I dont want to spend extra on email outreach tools such as yesware or mailshake. Will pipedrive soon have a "cold email outreach sequence" capability, where email outreach is scheduled? This feature is built in on other CRM like Contactually. 

   Here's a sample cold email outreach sequence I would like to do to.

  • Day 1 – Email 1
  • Day 2 – Call 1 (Leave Voicemail)
  • Day 3 – Email 2
  • Day 4 – Call 2 (No Voicemail)
  • Day 5 – Email 3
  • Day 8 – Call 3 (Voicemail)
  • Day 11 – Email 4
  • Day 15 – Email 5
  • Day 21 – Email 6
  • Day 35 – Email 7
  • Day 50 – Email 8

   By the way, what I'm trying to do is email outreach not marketing email. 

Thanks :)

    @Randall Pena great question. This is something we are looking into actively. I can't say when and what to expect, but it's definitely on our product requirement radar.

    Thank you @Janis Rozenblats. That is great to hear.

    I hope it would have a reply detection so it would stop the sequence once reply has been received. 

    Looking forward to this.

    Thanks @Randall Pena for bringing this up again! This / outbound sequences (think Outreach, Salesloft) is a also a crucial feature I have asked about quite often in the past. Inbound is great but lots of us are doing outbound, so again looking forward to a native Pipedrive feature. Keep it up.

    Is there any update on this? currently we are exploring other CRM options as this is a critical feature that PD doesn't currently offer :/

    Hello Pipedrivers,

    Just looking for the same feature and wanted to check when we can expect this email sequences functionality to be live.

    This is an essential feature for a sales CRM like Pipedrive and I think this should be available to the users.

    Hi @Janis Rozenblats , wondering if there's any news on this. I'm referring to sales email outreach not email marketing. Thank you.

    Hi @Randall Pena. Just a week ago Manuel posted here in the community that we've launched a workflow automation delay feature, which allows you to create drip sequences.

    This is the first step toward fully automated outreach sequences, and the team is working on functionality to bolster outreach email functionality. One very important feature is email reply tracking so that the sequence can be stopped when the customer replies to one of the emails in the chain. 

    Please take a look at the delays and let me know if that does the job!

    Hi @Janis Rozenblats

    Thanks for sharing a link to that workflow automation post; awesome to see progress made on this front.


    It has been about 4 months since that post was shared so I was wondering if any additional progress has been made toward having proper cold email outreach in Pipedrive.


    I know that Capaigns are a rea thing now but reply detection is the critical piece that seems to still be missing (or maybe I just can't find it?)

    Hey Randall, I just came back to PipeDrive as I am looking for this exact feature. I was signed up with HubSpot, but they do not have this specific automation sequences....well they do but you have to spend $600/mth.

    So now using PipeDrive and I noticed they added an automation function in which you can do this. Have you checked it out?

    Hi @Jeff G. it's actually just a work around hack not the same as what you would get with mixmax, yesware, klenty, outreach, salesloft, apollo.io, hubspot (upper tier), etc.

    It has no real "sales engagement automation" feature. Check Sales Engagement Software in G2.

    Business workflow or process automation (what pipedrive have) is not the same as sales sequence or sales outreach automation.

    I need to create unlimited sales outreach sequence.

    I really hope and pray that they would have it soon so we dont have to get a dedicated Sales Engagement software.

    Hi @Janis Rozenblats hope this is already in your product roadmap? Is there any plan to build this feature? If yes, when do you think it would be rolled out? Thanks.
