Pipedrive is a CRM built around the sales pipeline: every interaction focuses on moving leads, people, and deals through defined stages until close. Unlike broader CRMs such as HubSpot or Salesforce, Pipedrive is focused on the daily sales discipline of the sales team. In Brain Studio, the integration lets your flows capture leads, open deals, move stages, and log activity directly from WhatsApp or any conversational channel. The pipeline reflects what actually happened in the conversation, without manual re-entry.Documentation Index

What Pipedrive enables
When you connect Pipedrive, you can:- Capture leads in the moment - register each prospect coming from WhatsApp or webchat without leaving the conversation
- Keep people and organizations clean - create, update, or merge contacts so the pipeline has no duplicates or stale data
- Move the pipeline from the channel - open deals, change stages, and update amounts based on what was agreed in the conversation
- Leave traceability effortlessly - notes and activities logged automatically so follow-up does not depend on executive memory
Installation
Prerequisites
- An active Pipedrive account with permissions aligned to leads, people, deals, and notes.
- Authorization to connect third-party applications (OAuth) in your organization, if required by your admin.
How to connect it
The most direct way is to use Jelou Agent: describe what you need and the agent connects Pipedrive automatically inside the flow. If you prefer manual setup, follow these steps in Marketplace. The connection uses Pipedrive OAuth; you do not need to copy credentials.Available tools

How to use in Brain
In AI Agent
Use it when conversation is open-ended: the user can ask for different things in any order (look up a lead, add a note, propose a deal). The agent chooses the tool based on intent, always within the actions you enabled.In Canvas
Use it when the process is deterministic: first search person, then create deal, then add note, with clear branches based on user response or data already saved in memory.Select the tool
With the node selected, in Tools choose the action (for example Search people or Add deal).
Configure body and memory
Fill out the JSON in the node editor and, if needed, Save response in memory variables for following steps.
Use cases
Capture leads instantly from WhatsApp
Capture leads instantly from WhatsApp
Every inbound prospect message is an opportunity that can be lost if not logged. With the connected flow, the lead is in Pipedrive before the conversation ends.Concrete example: a B2B software company receives WhatsApp inquiries. The prospect asks about pricing. The flow checks whether they already exist in Pipedrive; if not, it creates the lead with name, company, and source channel. The executive finds a ready profile when entering the CRM, including first-interaction context.Ideal for: commercial teams where response speed matters and leads arrive through multiple conversational channels.
Move the pipeline based on what is agreed in chat
Move the pipeline based on what is agreed in chat
When the prospect confirms interest, accepts a proposal, or shares key information, the flow can reflect that milestone directly in the Pipedrive pipeline: create the deal, move stage, or update amount.Concrete example: a sales team with a 5-stage pipeline. The prospect says on WhatsApp, “I’m interested in the 15,000 proposal.” The flow creates the deal in the “Proposal sent” stage with the stated amount and adds a note with a conversation excerpt. The manager sees an updated pipeline without the executive opening Pipedrive.Ideal for: sales teams with defined stages that need CRM to reflect what was actually agreed.
Check pipeline status without leaving WhatsApp
Check pipeline status without leaving WhatsApp
The executive is on the way to a meeting and needs opportunity status. The commercial lead wants a quick summary of this week’s leads. Instead of opening Pipedrive, they ask by chat.Concrete example: the sales director writes, “How is Grupo Alfa going?” The flow searches the deal in Pipedrive, finds current stage, amount, and recent notes, and replies with a summary. If the executive needs more detail, the flow returns pending activities.Ideal for: commercial teams operating on mobile and needing fast CRM access without opening the app.
