How to connect your Pipedrive account to Google Sheets
Add a source on Catchr
To kick things off, visit the Catchr homepage and locate the "Source" option in the left-hand menu. Click on "Add a Source" situated at the top right corner. Here, you'll need to select Pipedrive from the list of platforms and follow the prompts to establish a connection between Catchr and Pipedrive.
Create a New Query
Begin by opening Google Sheets and locate "Catchr" in the menu. From there, select "New Query" to initiate a new query for importing your Pipedrive data.
Select Your Data Source
In the query tab, you have the option to choose your desired source, which in this case is Pipedrive. If the Pipedrive account doesn't appear in the source list, simply click on the "+" button to add it as a new source.
Select Your Account(s)
Next, navigate to the "Select account(s)" tab where you can select the specific Pipedrive account(s) from which you wish to import data.
Choose Metrics and Dimensions
Moving forward, switch to the "Metrics" and "Dimensions" tabs to pick the specific data points you want to analyze. Examples of metrics and dimensions available for Pipedrive include:
Metrics:
- Pipeline Id: Identifies a pipeline
- Deal Value: The value of a deal
- Deal Won Time: When the deal was won
Dimensions:
- Deal Organization Name: Name of the organization involved in a deal
- Deal Status: The status of a deal (e.g., won, lost)
- Person Name: The name of the person associated with a deal
Choose metrics and dimensions that will most benefit your analysis and reporting objectives.
Set Date Range
After picking your metrics and dimensions, proceed to the "Date Range" tab. Here, you gain access to preset date ranges such as "Last month" or "This year", but you’re also free to specify your own custom start and end dates for the data you're pulling in.
Apply Filters
To refine your data further, apply filters in the "Filters" tab. An example filter setup for Pipedrive might look like this:
- Field: Deal Status
- Operator: equals
- Value: Won
For instance, if you're only interested in "won" deals, you'd use the above criteria.
Schedule & Customize Data Refreshness
Lastly, visit the "Options" tab to schedule automatic data refreshes. You can also toggle options like "Append rows" for adding new rows at your query's end, or "Combine rows" to update all current rows within your range.
Following these steps ensures your Pipedrive data in Google Sheets remains up-to-date, giving you real-time insights into your marketing efforts.
