Automations

Automations to cancel when deal has moved stage.
I have all my activities automated and on delayed once marked as done in a stage. But I would like all the automation to stop in that stage, once the deal has moved to a new stage. Can someone please advise?
Is it possible for an Automation where updating one Deal, triggers an action to update another Deal?
Hi everyone, We are currently using an automation where we create a duplicate (Onboarding) Deal for an Onboarding Pipeline whenever a Deal is closed "Won." In our business, once we "win" a Deal, it takes 3 months or so to onboard the client and involves several key steps. At various stages of the Onboarding…

Automations Visual Change: visualize active vs inactive automations better
I would love to see some opacity of inactive automations to better visualize active automations vs inactive/unused/in-dev automations. Since there is no grouping or folder structure to help organize automations, visualizing the cards is the next best method. I have added a picture below as a reference. Very small change,…
Automations Need better management, troubleshooting and Standard Development Features
The automations are a "decent start" but they leave a lot to be desired … We recently had a problem because Pipedrive changed how the Slack integration works.Instead of being notified about this, we only found it because I was doing some updates and saw that one of our users' automations were failing. When I reached out to…

I want to record the date/time when a deal was first assigned to an agent. Time to assignment is an important metric for us. Ideally I can record it within pipedrive in a custom field. Any ideas?
Feature Request: Automations with Import Function
Are you considering allowing automations to work with the import function? For example, uploading a list of deal IDs to trigger specific automations. Currently, bulk edit triggers automation, but bulk import would be more efficient for high-volume tasks like assigning products to multiple deals. e.g. I have 3 products that…
Administer Automations for all
We're small and scrappy, but one of the most important features for a software tool is the ability for one person to be able to administer items for everyone. For processes and any automations of those processes, it shouldn't be required that a sales person, for example, have the experience and understanding of a process…
Get Notified When One of Your Email Automations Fails
Unless I am mistaken, there doesn't seem to be a way to set up an alert or notification for when an email automation fails. We rely on this email automation sequence to onboard our new clients and it would be helpful if we were notified if any of these emails fails to send!
Unclear required field in autiomation
Hi! I am in the process of creating an automation that has the purpose to be triggered when an Organisation Owner is changed so that Contact Owner on all Contacts linked to this Organisation has the same new Owner. I have created an automation for this (see image) but as the step of Action I am forced to fill in the field…
Extracting information gathered in Smart Docs and adding to contact record
Hopefully, someone has a solution for this: When we send a contract for signature, we also include a text field where customers add their VAT/Tax number. Is there a way to extract this when the document is completed and add it to a custom field against the contact record?
Keeping follow up email in the same thread (workflow automation with delay)
Hi, I have set up an email sequence with workflow automation, in which an email is sent whenever a deal is created at a certain stage. If the deal is still at this specific stage, I have set a delay function of 2 days. After 2 days a follow-up email will be sent. This process works perfectly fine. However, the 2nd email is…

How to define Deal-Owner as sender of an automated email?
Trigger: are 3 specific custom field in a deal filled? Actions: If yes: Move the deal to another stage. Send an email. The Issue: I want the email to be sent by the deal owner.

Contact to Deal automation - doesn't work in 2 pipelines
Hi there, I got stuck on the following: Always when a new contact is created, I want a deal to be created automatically. Now we are working in two pipelines that need to be separated. But when I add a new contact in pipeline B that automation puts the contact to pipeline A. I tried to put the pipeline phase in the…
Feature Suggestion - due dates relative to expected close date
It would be a game changer for our business to have the capability to make due dates relative to the expected close date. We are caterers and we use the expected close date as the event date. We are using Pipedrive from the beginning of the sales process into the prep-for-event process all the way until the event is…
Suggestion: Workflow Automation for Email Opened and/or Replied to
In workflow automation, it would be useful if some scenarios could be added in order to automatically tag or label a contacted person or deal. When a recipient opens an email or replies to an email, an automation could be created to tag or label that person so it is easier for us to see this information easily. For…

Automation cannot read/write Date Range fields
I realized that Workflow Automations cannot access Date Range fields. They are just not visible when selecting the fields to update, e.g., on a deal. This is really annoying, because it means I cannot set the license period for our auto-generated license-renewal deals and have to rely on everyone to remember to do this…
Automations Needs an "Everyone" Filter Option
As an Admin, I need to be able to see all Automations that are built, and be able to sort and look at all the Automations in one place. I recently had another Admin reassign ownership of two Automations, and had to go digging to find them! There should be an "Everyone" option here: I see this closely related to this Idea:…
Increase Workflow Wait Time Limit
The limit for a wait for condition needs to be increased from 7 days. This is farrrrrr too low of a limit. Especially with no ability to detect if a timeout occurs in any type of split paths. This is just crazy. C'mon guys, I know you can do so much better than this! :)
Automatic lead archiving
Hi everyone, I'm new to Pipedrive and to be honest I'm also a bit new to using a CRM. I used to use Hubspot but switched to Pipedrive as it was far too complex. Before, on Hubspot to create automated email sequences, I simply had to create a dynamic list of contacts based on criteria (for example, the source) and once the…
Best practices for comparing outbound list (sent outside Pipedrive) with Pipedrive
Hi everyone, we have ca. 100K companies in our CRM and would like to check from an outbound list which leads might already be customers or prospects. We have several ideas, but they don’t seem like best practices yet - maybe you can advise a better workflow: Exporting Pipedrive deals through Coupler to Google Sheet and…
Wait For Condition
Hi all, I think i would be a massive help for me and many others if the 'wait for condition' feature lasted longer than 7 days. When dealing with customers a process may take longer than 7 days which means the wait for condition expires and they automation is useless. For example, if i have sent a document for the customer…
