Pipedrive Auto Note Taker AI Email-to-CRM Pipeline
Reads incoming Gmail messages, uses OpenAI to extract structured business intelligence, and automatically creates organization, person, deal, and note records in Pipedrive complete with deadline detection and location parsing.
Our Approach
>
The client's team was receiving business inquiries via email and manually copying details into Pipedrive. We reverse-engineered their CRM data structure, then built a Make.com scenario that feeds each email through OpenAI with custom prompts to extract contacts, deadlines, locations, and deal context. A router handles two deal types companies vs. individuals creating the correct record set for each.
