Move deals through your pipeline based on Mailshake actions ⚡️

Set up rules in Mailshake so that a deal is created and deals move through the stages of your pipeline based on Mailshake activity. For instance, when someone becomes a lead (say they replied to one of your emails), they can be moved into a Pipeline in Pipedrive.
You can use the Move deals to stages on Mailshake actions settings to move deals through your pipeline. For example:

In the example above, when a lead is marked as "won" in Mailshake, that will create the deal and move them to the "Qualified" pipeline stage in Pipedrive.

Automatically record Mailshake activities 📝

Whenever actions occur in Mailshake, have them tracked in Pipedrive for that deal. For instance, if someone replies to one your emails in Mailshake, record that activity in their Pipedrive record. Same goes for if you made a phone call to them, turned them into a lead, etc.
Just make sure to select the activities you want to sync in your Pipedrive sync settings, such as the ones below:

You'll see these activities recorded as notes in Pipedrive and it will look something like this:
