Greetings,

I'm wondering whether Pipedrive provides an API to send emails with tracking.

(Some clients wants an automated email sending with tracking features.)

    this is a great suggestion @Mike van der Valk 

    Frankly I’d love to see the API opened up for emails (so I could automate sending messages from other tools but via Pipedrive to track it both historically and with the opened/tracking flags), files/docs (namely being able to attach a pdf to an entity for example) and invoicing (which as I’ve said needs a lot of work as it stands, so after the team has built the feature out a bit more completely).

    Thanks @Ted Youn and @Jason Prosnitz for sharing this, I've passed it on to our team for potential updates in the future.

    Hey @Ted Youn and @Jason Prosnitz the technical team got back to me. They mentioned that we're making some big changes on the technical side so API endpoints will change a lot in the coming weeks/months. It makes therefore sense not to release these API's publicly now but only when we've made those changes and improved our platform.

    @mike Would love to see some of that information in "What's planned?" ;)

    There are still a lot of decisions to make on our end but we're looking at replacing the system that syncs our emails. At start not much will change for the user besides a more stable, quicker and reliable email service. After it's been replaced we can think about making endpoints public and improving the services in general.

    Regardless - this is welcome news. My experience as a new user with the email syncing has certainly had it's peaks and valleys for sure. It's very finicky as it stands. Thanks!

    I created my own post on this question. I suppose I should have looked first to find more information. Looking forward to new developments on this!
