Announcing a Pipedrive + Jotform integration

When it comes to making sales, time and money go hand in hand.

The number of deals you secure hinges on how you spend your time, whether it’s being in the right place at the right time to land a lead or focusing on nurturing the right prospects.

CRM platforms are designed to help you manage your sales pipeline, but if you’re using manual data entry to transfer information from your lead generation tool, then you may be losing out on opportunities to secure prospects and deals.

With Jotform’s new Pipedrive integration, sales teams can use submitted form information to add a deal, person, or activity in the CRM platform. This process not only eliminates the need for repetitive manual data entry but also allows sales teams to secure, track, and close deals quickly.

In addition, the integration helps teams stay on the same page by allowing Jotform users to assign newly created deals, contacts, or activities to a specific pipeline and team member in Pipedrive.

When a new deal or contact comes in, the integration sends it to a specific stage and status in a pipeline. This establishes transparency and accountability in the sales process, and lets managers know where everyone on your team stands.

How to use the JotForm-Pipedrive integration

• Add a new deal, person, or activity in Pipedrive by matching specific fields from Pipedrive to questions in your form (i.e., physical address, name, phone number, and email address).
• Assign each new person in Pipedrive to a specific team member, and place each new deal in a specific pipeline to help teams stay organized
• Send each new deal or person to a specific stage and status in a pipeline
• Append uploaded files from forms to a newly created deal or person in Pipedrive.
• Use specific form information to create and attach notes to every deal, person, or activity that’s added to Pipedrive.
• Schedule a call, meeting, task, deadline, or email in Pipedrive once a form is submitted. You can even assign the new activity to a specific deal, person, or organization to make sure your team is on top of it. 

How to access the JotForm-Pipedrive integration

Linking a form to Pipedrive is a walk in the park with the JotForm-Pipedrive integration. If you have a Pipedrive account, you can easily link to Jotform in just a few quick steps.

Conclusion

There was a time when sales teams needed only a Rolodex and an office phone to get their jobs done, but that was also when sticky notes and floppy disks were cutting-edge productivity tools.

Time is of the essence, and attracting leads isn’t easy, so you need an automated solution that helps your sales team manage incoming sales data, monitor their progress, and close deals quickly.

CRM platforms, including Pipedrive, allow sales teams to build their pipelines, evaluate how their efforts are performing over time, and stay on the same page.

But relying on manual data entry to add new leads, prospects, accounts, and deals into your CRM system can take valuable time out of your day.

Supplementing Pipedrive’s workflow management platform with Jotform’s data-collection capabilities enables you to gather information from leads or prospects and automatically inject it into your team’s sales pipeline. This frictionless process allows you to immediately kick off the lead nurturing process or get a jump start on a deal.
