About Pipedrive
Pipedrive is the first CRM platform made for salespeople, by salespeople. It lets you easily find all the information you need before a meeting or call. The software is also packed with automations, integrations and innovations. Their philosophy is simple – everything is built around activity-based selling. They believe that in sales (and in life) you can’t control results, but you can control the actions that drive deals towards completion.
Step by step guide:
1. In this tutorial we will show you how to fill out a PDF form with Pipedrive data using PDF.co and Zapier. We will use this PDF form with editable text fields and fill them out with the Deal Name and Contact Person from the CRM.
You can also simply add text, images and links to existing PDF by coordinates! Check this and this tutorials.
