Zapier provides a seamless way to integrate TimelinesAI with other applications, enabling workflow automation. From the navigation menu, you can access Zapier and set up triggers and actions to connect TimelinesAI with Pipedrive and other tools, streamlining your processes efficiently.
In the demonstration , we will guide you on how to access Zapier in TimelinesAI.
You can create custom workflows for Pipedrive to automate repetitive tasks and simplify your processes. This lets you set up triggers for events like adding or updating a new deal. When a trigger occurs, you can connect Pipedrive with TimelinesAI to send messages to new or existing chats. Custom workflows save time, reduce manual work, and keep everything organized and running smoothly.
A trigger in Zapier links events in Pipedrive (like updating a deal) to automated actions in TimelinesAI. To set it up: select Pipedrive as the trigger app in Zapier, choose the event (e.g., “Updated Timeline”), add optional conditions, and test it. Once configured, the trigger automatically starts workflows—like sending messages in TimelinesAI—when the event happens in Pipedrive.
|| If you haven't done it already, Zapier will ask your permission to access information from your Pipedrive account. Once you approve it, Zapier will gather data from your Pipedrive account. You must also integrate TimelinesAI with Zapier.
In this demonstration, you will learn to set up the trigger.
When configuring the trigger, you must define the trigger events, which may require different fields depending on the selected event type. Here are the options:
Once your trigger is set up for Pipedrive, the next step is defining the action—the task that automatically occurs when the trigger activates. For example, if your trigger is a deal is updated, the action could be sending a WhatsApp message via TimelinesAI to a WhatsApp chat.
To configure this, you’ll connect TimelinesAI to your workflow, specify details like the message content and recipient, and test the setup to ensure it works. Once live, the action runs seamlessly whenever the trigger event happens, turning manual tasks into automated processes that save time and reduce errors.
If you are configuring the trigger or action for the TimelinesAI for the first time, you will need the TimelinesAI’s Token ID to integrate with the other platforms. For more information on generating a new Token ID, refer to the section - Generate a New TimelinesAI Token ID.
In this demonstration, you will learn how to set up the action.
TimelinesAI offers ready-to-use zap templates for popular tasks with Pipedrive, such as sending automated messages for new leads, deals, or changes in deal stages. These prebuilt workflows eliminate the need to manually configure triggers —just choose the workflow you want, and the system handles the automation.
