Setup Guide

How to connect Pipedrive to WhatsApp API

Set up Pipedrive webhook

In Pipedrive: Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook. Enter WA.Expert endpoint URL. Select event: deal_created, deal_updated (for stage changes), deal_won.

Alternatively use Zapier with Pipedrive trigger

For non-developer setup: Zapier → Pipedrive → New Deal or Updated Deal Stage. Add WA.Expert action. Map Pipedrive contact phone to WhatsApp "to" field.

Map contact phone from Pipedrive

Pipedrive deal webhooks include person data with phone numbers. Map person.phone[0].value to WA.Expert "to" field. Handle cases where phone might be in different formats.

Configure stage-specific templates

Create different WhatsApp templates for each deal stage: "Qualified" → product overview, "Proposal Sent" → proposal summary, "Negotiation" → comparison guide, "Won" → welcome message.

Set up activity overdue alerts

Use Pipedrive's webhook for activity_deleted or a scheduled Pipedrive API check to identify overdue activities and send WhatsApp reminders to the rep.

Sample Pipedrive → WhatsApp configuration

// Pipedrive webhook → WA.Expert
// Event: deal updated, stage_id changed
{
  "current": {
    "title": "TechCorp — Enterprise Plan",
    "stage_id": 4,
    "person_id": 123
  },
  "meta": {
    "action": "updated",
    "change_source": "app"
  }
}
// Look up person phone via Pipedrive API
// GET /persons/123 → phone number

WA.Expert handles WhatsApp API authentication, template approval, and delivery. You pass trigger data from Pipedrive — no WhatsApp API expertise needed.

FAQ

Pipedrive + WhatsApp — common questions

Does Pipedrive have a native WA.Expert integration?

Pipedrive's Marketplace has a WhatsApp integration category. WA.Expert connects via Pipedrive's native webhook system (available on Essential plan and above) or via Zapier. Direct webhook is faster and doesn't require an additional tool.

How do I get the contact's phone number from a Pipedrive deal webhook?

Pipedrive deal webhooks include person_id but not full person details. Your webhook handler makes a secondary Pipedrive API call (GET /persons/{id}) to fetch the contact's phone number. Alternatively, use Zapier's Pipedrive integration which automatically fetches associated contact details.

Can I send WhatsApp to both the contact and the sales rep from Pipedrive?

Yes — for deal stage changes, you can send two WhatsApp messages: one to the contact (external communication) and one to the assigned rep (internal alert like "Your deal with TechCorp moved to Proposal stage"). Both are configured in the same WA.Expert flow triggered by the Pipedrive webhook.

Does this work with Pipedrive's LeadBooster (lead generation)?

Yes — Pipedrive LeadBooster captures leads via chatbot or prospector. New LeadBooster leads fire the deal.created webhook which triggers WA.Expert to send an instant WhatsApp follow-up to the lead's phone.

How is Pipedrive + WhatsApp different from HubSpot or Salesforce + WhatsApp?

Pipedrive is simpler and more affordable than HubSpot or Salesforce, making it popular with Indian SMB sales teams. The WhatsApp integration approach is similar (webhook → WA.Expert), but Pipedrive's lower complexity means faster setup. The core automation flows (lead follow-up, deal stage messages) are identical across all CRMs.

Can I use Pipedrive + WhatsApp for international sales (non-Indian numbers)?

Yes — WA.Expert handles international phone numbers in E.164 format. For Pipedrive contacts with non-Indian numbers, ensure the phone is stored with country code (e.g., +44 for UK, +1 for US). WA.Expert delivers WhatsApp to any country where WhatsApp is available.
