This is a paid bot, and its usage will be counted toward your plan's credit limit. For more information about credit usage, refer to this article.

Note: Your document must include a table to configure the bot.

General

Automatically populate document tables with detailed data from Pipedrive records, such as lists of deals and contacts.

Use case: You need to prepare a sales report for the sales manager that includes all Pipedrive contact-related deals and their status.

How to set up

To add the bot:

1. In the step settings, select Add bot or click the plus icon after a specific action.

2. Choose Bot and search for the Pre-fill tables from Pipedrive records bot.

3. Click on the bot to install it.

Trigger

A trigger is an event that causes the bot to start working. The moment of the bot's activation depends on its placement in the flow:

  • If the bot is added after a step or any other element, it will run once that element finishes its job.

  • If within the step, the bot will run based on the trigger you specify. Choose the trigger type most relevant to your case:

According to this, select the bot's trigger type that will be most relevant to your case:

Trigger type

Description

Step started

The bot activates when you start the workflow

Document opened

The bot activates when signers start filling out the documents or switch between them.

Field changed

Use for cases where a response or action is needed immediately after a user enters or updates information in the specific field. Select the document and the field that the bot should pay attention to complete the setup.

Document completed

The bot activates once the signer completes a document you specify in the trigger settings.

Connection settings

In Source, select and connect your Pipedrive account.

You can also create and connect a new account by clicking Add new connection.

Select a base object in Pipedrive (for example, Deals) where the data for pre-filling will be sourced.

Note: Some Pipedrive object relations aren't supported for pre-filling due to API restrictions. For example, products connected to a Deal record can't be populated into a document table because there is no Deal/Products object.

Lookup

In Find record, set rules to locate the Pipedrive source record:

  • Sent by the airSlate Workflow integration app: The system auto-defines the record ID.

Tip: This option can be used only if you start the process from the Pipedrive record that you want to pre-fill from. For example, Deals is the base record, and the workflow starts from Deals as well.

  • By bot lookup: Match document fields to record fields or custom values, like matching Customer email.

Tip: This option can be used for workflows started outside or from Pipedrive with different starting records. For example, if Deals is the base record but the workflow starts from the Person record.

Mapping

In Data mapping, select Map fields. Drag and drop Pipedrive fields onto document fields. Blue highlights show available fields. Mapped field names appear on the canvas.

To add new fields, select Edit document.

To cancel mapping, hover over the connected field name and select Unmap, or click the corresponding icon next to the mapped field in the document.

Testing

In the Test section, check how the bot works by selecting Test. You will see a success message if everything is set up correctly. If there are issues, review the connection, mapping, or trigger configuration.
If you skip testing by selecting Skip testing, you may miss issues with the bot setup. Testing is recommended to ensure everything works as expected.

  • Enter the ID of the record from which the document table should be pre-filled, but only if the starting record matches the base record.

Tip: To find the Pipedrive record ID, go to the specific record and copy the ID from the URL.

  • Enter the matching value (like Customer email) if you have set up a lookup for your workflow.

Conditions

Set conditions to control when the bot activates, tailoring it to your specific needs for more efficient automation. For detailed guidance, refer to this article.


Without defined conditions, the bot will default to activating whenever recipients interact with documents or complete them.

Best practice: If you configured the lookup to locate the Pipedrive starting record, set conditions to ensure the lookup field is not empty.
