Creating an expiration when a Pipedrive deal is marked as won

To create a new expiration automatically when a Pipedrive deal is marked as won, from the integrations list select When a new deal is marked as won, create an expiration item:

From the configuration screen, select the status when to trigger the integration, in this case, won.

Then select which category is going to be used to create the expiration and then what expiration date is going to be set.

The expiration date can be a date in the future calculated from when the the deal is won (one year from when is marked as won) or it can be a custom field from Pipedrive that holds the expiration date.

Then click Save. Now every deal marked as won in Pipedrive will sync with Expiration Reminder and automatic alerts will be scheduled.

Creating a deal

Expiration Reminder also allows you to create a deal in Pipedrive when specific conditions have occurred (like an item is about to expire). This allows to reduce the entry time on Pipedrive and is useful if you’re tracking expiration dates for contracts for example and you’d like your sales team to get into it.

To configure an expiration item to create a deal when is about to expire, click on Your Account on the top menu and then on Automation.

Click on the Add Integration green button and select from the list when an expiration item status changes, create a deal in Pipedrive.

From the configuration screen, select the status to use to trigger the automation, in this case on Notify which means when the expiration or contract is about to expire.

Then select on what pipeline and stage to create the deal in Pipedrive.

Then click Save.
​

Now every time an expiration goes into the notifying status, a deal will be created in Pipedrive automatically.
