Workflow Overview
Sending deal values from Pipeline CRM to WhatConverts requires a multi-step process:
- A deal is created or updated in Pipeline CRM
- Find the associated person to retrieve the stored Lead ID
- Update the deal with the Lead ID from the person record
- Update the lead in WhatConverts using the Lead ID
This workflow structure ensures the deal value is attributed to the correct marketing source in WhatConverts.
Create Your Deal to Lead Value Workflow
To build your Zapier workflow for sending deal values from Pipeline CRM to WhatConverts:
Step 1: Set Up the Trigger
- Log in to your Zapier account.
- In the left-hand menu, click "+ Create", then click "Zaps".
- Use the AI Copilot to enter the integration you are setting up, or use the Trigger Box and search for "Pipeline CRM".
- Choose the "Updated Deal" trigger event. Click "Continue".
- Configure any filters (e.g., specific deal stages or pipelines).
- Test the trigger to verify the connection and review sample deal data.
Step 2: Find Person in Pipeline CRM
- Click the Action step and search for "Pipeline CRM".
- Choose "Find Person" as the action. Click "Continue".
- Map the "Person ID" field to the "Person ID" from Step 1 (the deal trigger).
- Test this step to verify it retrieves the person associated with the deal.
Step 3: Update Lead in WhatConverts
Now you have two options for updating the lead in WhatConverts:
Option A: Update Lead Using Lead ID (Recommended)
- Click the Action step and search for "WhatConverts".
- Choose "Update Lead" as the action. Click "Continue".
- Map the following fields:
- Lead ID: Map the "Lead ID" custom field from Step 2 or Step 3
- Quote Value: Map the "Value" from Step 1 (the deal)
- Or Sales Value: Map the "Value" from Step 1 for won deals
- Add a filter before this step if you want to only update sales value for won deals:
- Filter: Only continue if "Status" (from Step 1) equals "Won"
- Test this step to verify the lead is updated correctly.
Option B: Find and Update Lead by Phone or Email
If the Lead ID isn't reliably stored, you can search for the lead first:
- Click the Action step and search for "WhatConverts".
- Choose "Find Lead" as the action. Click "Continue".
- Search using either:
- Phone Number: Map the "Phone" from Step 2 (the person)
- Email: Map the "Email" from Step 2 (the person)
- Test this step to verify it finds the correct lead.
- Add another "Update Lead" action step:
- Lead ID: Map the "Lead ID" from the Find Lead step
- Quote Value: Map the "Value" from Step 1
- Or Sales Value: Map the "Value" from Step 1 for won deals
Activate Your Workflow
Once you've successfully tested all steps:
- Review the entire workflow to ensure all mappings are correct.
- Verify the Lead ID is properly flowing from person to deal to WhatConverts.
- Click "Publish" to activate the Zap.
- Monitor the first few deals to ensure values are updating correctly in WhatConverts.
Important Considerations
- Lead ID Storage: This workflow depends on the Lead ID being stored when the person was originally created from a WhatConverts lead. If the Lead ID is missing, the workflow won't be able to update the correct lead.
- Contact Information Changes: If the contact's phone or email changes between when the lead was created and when the deal is updated, the "Find Lead" option may not locate the correct record. Using the stored Lead ID is more reliable.
- Deal-to-Person Association: The deal must be associated with a person in Pipeline CRM for this workflow to retrieve the Lead ID. Deals without a person association will fail.
