Our Airtable–Pipedrive sync is designed for B2B companies who need to create cross-app workflows and want to cut time on manually moving data between apps.
💡 Airtable is currently only available as a source app. This means you can sync contacts from Airtable to Pipedrive, but not the other way around.
What the integration does
Contact sync. Sync all contacts, or a subset, from Airtable to Pipedrive and keep them in sync.
Flexible field mapping. Sync default and custom fields.
Built-in deduplication. Match contacts by email address, so existing contacts are linked instead of duplicated.
Sync status monitoring. See what ran and what failed, with error messages that show how to fix it.
How to sync Airtable contacts to Pipedrive
1. Choose your apps
To get started, head to Outfunnel > App connector and select Airtable and Pipedrive as your apps.
2. Authenticate Airtable
Authenticate Airtable as instructed on screen, if you haven't done so already.
3. Select the connection type
Click on Connect and choose Contact sync as the connection type.
4. Choose the Airtable base
Choose the Airtable base to sync contacts from.
5. Define contact sync rules
Choose the Table and View that should sync from Airtable to Pipedrive.
If this is your first sync we recommend syncing a limited number of (test) contacts to get a feel for the sync.
6. Set up field mapping
First, choose the default fields and/or custom fields you'd like to sync.
💡 Ensure your Airtable table includes at least one field with the field type set to "Email" and that you map it to the email field in Pipedrive.
Fields that merely contain email addresses but use other types (e.g. "Text") are not supported.
7. Activate the connection
🏁 Initial sync
After activating the connection Outfunnel will run an initial sync and you should see contacts appearing in the sync status page. The initial sync usually takes a few minutes but can take up to a few hours depending on the number of contacts to sync.
The status page also shows errored contacts and provides actionable feedback on how to fix this.
Contacts are linked by email address. If no existing contact is found, a new one is created. If several contacts share the same email address, the oldest one is linked and no duplicates are created.
🔄 Continuous sync
After the initial sync completes Outfunnel starts running a continuous sync that checks for updates every 2 hours. You can trigger an instant sync anytime by clicking on Sync now.
When a contact stops matching the rules, updates stop, but the contact is not deleted from Pipedrive.
