# Integrate WhatsApp with Pipedrive: the pipeline has to see the chat

**Pipedrive** is the board. **WhatsApp** is where the customer says “I’ll think about it” or “send me the invoice”. **Integrating WhatsApp with Pipedrive** is making sure that “I’ll think about it” does not stay only on the salesperson’s phone.

Connector page: [WhatsApp and Pipedrive](/en/whatsapp-pipedrive/).

## What should show on the deal

- Timeline with messages (or at least a summary and a link to the thread).
- Phone in international format, always the same one.
- Stage that matches the chat: new, qualified, proposal, negotiation.
- Deal owner = agent assigned in the [inbox](/en/blog/shared-whatsapp-inbox/).

If Pipedrive says “proposal sent” and nobody sent anything on WhatsApp, Monday’s pipeline meeting is theatre.

## A flow that does not duplicate

1. A WhatsApp comes in. You look up the number.
2. If there is no person: you create one and open a deal in “new”.
3. If there is an open deal: do not open another. Add activity.
4. AI or a human qualifies. A tag moves it to “qualified”.
5. On win or loss, **one** deal closes.

That is a [WhatsApp CRM](/en/blog/crm-whatsapp/) talking to Pipedrive, not a Zap that creates 12 deals from a “thanks”.

## Campaigns and Pipedrive

Filter by stage or by tag (“asked for a demo, no reply”). The send is a [template](/en/blog/whatsapp-business-templates/) from WhatsApp. Pipedrive should not be the spam engine. Opt-in in [GDPR](/en/blog/whatsapp-opt-in-gdpr/).

## Cost

Pipedrive + ManyContacts (from **€49/month**, 3 users) + [Meta messages](/en/blog/whatsapp-business-api-pricing/). Do not pay an “enterprise connector” if the inbox already writes to the Pipedrive API.

## Next step

Open a deal “in negotiation” and find the last WhatsApp. If it is not there, [connect Pipedrive](/en/whatsapp-pipedrive/). [Sign up free](https://app.manycontacts.com/register) or [book a demo](https://calendar.app.google/PH1wtumtQQwLGz756).
