Workflow-Automatisierung

If you find yourself repeating the same administrative tasks in Pipedrive — scheduling the same activity after a deal has been moved to a specific stage in your pipeline — then it might be in your company's interest to automate those tasks, so you can concentrate on the important things that make your business thrive.

Automations speed up your workflow by automating tasks based on a trigger event chosen by you.

Automations in Pipedrive are made up of two parts — a trigger event and an action event.

• Das Trigger-Ereignis ist das 'wenn' in der 'wenn-dann'-Regel: Bevor die Automatisierung eintritt, muss diese Aktion eintreten.
  Das kann die Erstellung, Aktualisierung oder das Löschen eines Kontaktes, einer Organisation, Aktivität oder eines Deals in Pipedrive sein.
• Das Aktionsereignis ist das 'dann' in der 'wenn-dann'-Regel: Sobald das Trigger-Ereignis eingetreten ist, tritt auch die Aktion ein.
  Das kann die Erstellung, Aktualisierung oder das Löschen eines Kontaktes, einer Organisation, Aktivität oder eines Deals in Pipedrive sein, sowie das Senden einer E-Mail.

Erstellen einer Automatisierung

To access the Workflow Automation feature, click on the "..." (more) tab > Workflow Automation.

To begin creating a workflow, click the Add custom workflow button, found to the upper-right of the Workflow Automation page in the Pipedrive app.

Once clicked, provide a name (and description, if helpful) for your intended workflow — don't worry, this name can be edited later — and click Save.

To begin designing your automation, click the Add trigger button. You will see a sidebar where you can choose the item and event that will trigger your automation.

When configuring your trigger, you can choose between five options — Person, Organization, Lead, Deal, and Activity — with three options of what event relating to that item will trigger the automation — creation, updating, or deletion.

Once you've chosen the trigger type and the trigger event, click the Apply trigger button.

With the trigger event in place, you will then have an option to apply a condition (or conditions) to your trigger. Here you can define under what circumstances your automation will trigger.

After saving your condition, click on the plus sign (+) to choose your next step. This can be another condition or your action event.

When defining your action, you can choose between six default options — Person, Organization, Lead, Deal, Activity, and Email — or two integrations — Slack and Microsoft Teams. You are able to choose action types that are specific to each option.

You can add multiple actions to your workflow automation, and they will always be executed from the top and work down the list. E.g. Step 3 will only be executed after step 2 is done.

Here you can see how you would set up an automation that would move your new deal to a different pipeline depending on the deal owner.

To specify which users are allowed to trigger this automation, check the option at the top right of the workflow, and select which option you would prefer.

Once you have made all of your choices and designed your workflow, click the Save button to finalize your automation.

Once you have saved your workflow, all of your workflows will be listed on the Workflow Automation page within the Pipedrive app.
You may also view all of your created workflows, along with the workflows that have been created for the entire company's Pipedrive account.

You may edit, delete, or mark workflows as active or inactive. If a workflow is marked as inactive, the trigger and action functions will not occur.
Inactive workflows are greyed out, to allow you to quickly understand which automations are currently active in your Pipedrive account.

Duplicate and update your workflow

We have recently upgraded our Workflow Automation feature. Once your account has the newest version enabled, you will notice in your account that you have the possibility to Duplicate and update.

Once you click this option, you will have the opportunity to rename your workflow automation, as well as add a description. (New Version) will be added to your new workflow automation name by default. Once you are finished editing the name and description, click Duplicate.

You will then be brought to our new workflow editor where your old workflow has been duplicated for you to edit the automation.
