How to integrate LinkedIn and Pipedrive?
LinkedIn is a go-to tool of every respectable sales rep. We use LinkedIn for identifying sales opportunities (prospecting), research people and companies to tailor our products and services, and of course for outreach. We also use AI prospecting tools to find more leads.
LinkedIn to a sales rep is what a sword is to a Viking 🗡 or Figma to a designer. Let’s take a look at making LinkedIn and Pipedrive work together. Seamlessly.

Save LinkedIn contacts and companies to Pipedrive
You need volume to meet your sales goals. But if you don’t follow up, what’s the point of outreach?
The first touchpoint on LinkedIn (or anywhere else for that matter) is just 1/5th of the lead’s potential.
Tracking your outreach opportunities and follow-ups are the key! So when you are manually prospecting on LinkedIn, you should log opportunities to your CRM. You can copy-paste data from LinkedIn to CRM the old-school way. Or you can automate this process with a click of a button.

One of the biggest challenges with every CRM is syncing communication across different channels. And to be entirely fair, it’s tough to do given that messengers don’t open up data.
As a result, we are stuck with incomplete CRM records OR manually copy-pasting information...
To make your life a bit easier, you can add any text to Pipedrive with a shortcut.
You can select text from LinkedIn messages and automatically get them sent to Pipedrive. You can do the same with Telegram, Facebook, or Gmail.
