My boss is wanting me to start doing bulk email campaigns and I was wondering what app everyone preferred for this. I currently have my Gmail linked to Pipedrive, should I be using something different?

    Hi Trisha,

    Thank you for reaching us with your question!

    I wanted to add that Pipedrive will be launching an email feature soon. Campaigns by Pipedrive is currently in beta to a closed group of users and will be released to more users at a later date.

    If you would like to join the waitlist to get early access to this feature, you can fill out this webform. Please note that all applications are reviewed, but we can not promise that you will be selected to take part in the Beta test. If you are selected to join the Beta test, our team will contact you by email directly.

    You can also check our marketplace to find integrations with several email marketing tools.

    I hope this can help! 

    Kind regards,
    Andreia

    Thank you for the mention, Thomas!

    And indeed, with Outfunnel you could use Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, and data would be deeply synced 2-way between Pipedrive and the marketing tool. Outfunnel syncs contacts that match selected filters to MC or AC, and records email opens, clicks etc back in Pipedrive. You can learn more here

    @Trisha there is no better way to do bulk email campaigns than natively from Pipedrive. 
    Sign up for the email marketing product beta waitlist here.

    Only thing I am missing is the ability to 2-way sync GDPR acceptance. In Pipedrive I can subscription status and latest stats.

    But it would be nice to be able to

    • unsubscribe
    • Subscribe a contact and enter how/when GDPR acceptance was obtained and what campaings/email flow to enter.

    Unsubscribing right inside the app panel would make a lot of sense. Subscribing to specific audience(s) might be a bit tricky due to constraints of the panel but we'll look into this. 

    Meanwhile, you could set up a custom field as a workaround. If custom field content is X, then filter X picks them up and adds them to audience X. And if you remove X from custom field, they'd be unsubscribed from that audience/list.
