Vixiees connects with Pipedrive to keep your contacts and opportunities synchronized across both platforms.
What Gets Synchronized Exactly?

Sync Timings
From Pipedrive to Vixiees
| Process | Frequency | Max Delay |
|---|---|---|
| Webhook reception | Instant | 0 seconds |

| Approximate total time | - | 10-15 seconds |
Pipedrive sends instant notifications (webhooks) whenever something changes. Vixiees processes these notifications every 10 seconds.
From Vixiees to Pipedrive
| Action | Time |
|---|---|

Changes from Vixiees to Pipedrive are sent in real time, with no delay.
General Data Synchronization
| Data | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Users | Every 24 hours |
| Person fields | Every 24 hours |
| Deal fields | Every 24 hours |
| Pipelines and stages | Every 24 hours |
| Webhook verification | Every 24 hours |
Stage Linking
For stage synchronization to work, you must link each stage in your Sales Brain (Playbook) to a Pipedrive stage.
Example:
| Stage in Vixiees | Stage in Pipedrive |
|---|---|
| New lead | Lead In |
| Contacted | Contact Made |
| Proposal | Proposal Made |
| Negotiation | Negotiations Started |
| Won | (marked as Won) |
| Lost | (marked as Lost) |
Each Pipedrive stage has a unique numeric ID used for the link.
Activities Sent to Pipedrive
Vixiees can log activities in Pipedrive:
- Calls made
- Emails sent
- Notes and comments
- Completed tasks
What Happens with Conflicts?
Same contact modified on both sides
The most recent change prevails. Pipedrive is faster at notifying changes, but if you modify in Vixiees afterward, that value will be sent to Pipedrive.
Contact already exists
The system searches by Pipedrive ID to avoid duplicates. If a contact is already linked, it is updated instead of creating a new one.
Deal marked as "deleted" in Pipedrive
It is automatically converted to "lost" status in Vixiees.
Automatic Webhooks
Unlike HubSpot, Vixiees automatically configures webhooks in Pipedrive:
- A webhook is created when you connect the integration
- The system verifies it exists every 24 hours
- If the webhook is deleted, it is automatically recreated
Initial Setup
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Pipedrive
- Click "Connect with Pipedrive"
- Authorize access in the Pipedrive window
- The webhook is configured automatically
- Map the custom fields you want to synchronize
- Link your Sales Brain (Playbook) stages to Pipedrive stages
- Synchronization begins immediately
Best Practices
Avoid mass changes during peak hours
Important: Mass imports or bulk updates in Pipedrive can slow down synchronization and affect data availability in Vixiees.
What to avoid during peak working hours (9:00-14:00, 16:00-19:00):
- Large person imports (more than 500 records)
- Bulk field updates
- Batch owner changes
- Pipedrive automations that modify many records at once
Why it matters:
- Each change generates a webhook that Vixiees must process
- Thousands of simultaneous webhooks can saturate the processing queue
- Agents may see stale data while the queue is being processed
- Although Pipedrive is faster, bulk changes still create bottlenecks
Recommendations:
- Schedule bulk imports outside of business hours (night or weekend)
- If you need to make bulk changes, notify the team that there may be temporary delays
- Split large imports into smaller batches
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Pipedrive faster than HubSpot?
Pipedrive uses webhooks (push notifications), while HubSpot requires polling (periodic queries). This makes Pipedrive sync in ~10 seconds vs. ~2 minutes for HubSpot.
Are deleted contacts synced?
No. Contacts deleted in Pipedrive are not automatically deleted in Vixiees.
What about multiple emails and phones?
Only the primary email and phone are synced (the first one in the list in Pipedrive).
What happens if Pipedrive is down?
Changes from Vixiees will temporarily fail. Pipedrive webhooks will be lost but the system recovers on the next general data synchronization (every 24h).
Can I have multiple pipelines?
Yes. Vixiees syncs all pipelines and their stages. You can link stages from different Sales Brains (Playbooks) to different pipelines.
