What you'll need
- An active Customer.io account
- An active Pipedrive account with API access enabled
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Pipedrive to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Customer.io
Click "Add Connection" and select Customer.io from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Customer.io's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.
- Step 03
Authenticate Pipedrive
Same process for Pipedrive. Click "Add Connection," select Pipedrive, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new subscriber in customer.io or new contact created in pipedrive. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
