How does Pipedrive work upon loading data?
  1. Loading Activities: 
    • activities.csv is expected in the path: /data/in/tables/activities.csv
    • Example of valid activities:01.png
    • Notice column ID in the example when ID is UNKNOWN: new activity will be assigned to a person, deal or organization according to Pipedrive API fields for adding activities.
    • When the ID column is KNOWN: activity with a specific ID  will be updated according to Pipedrive API fields for updated activities.
    • Not all possible parameters from the Pipedrive API are covered by the Pipedrive loader component. We can upload only: id,subject,done,type,due_date,due_time,duration,user_id,deal_id,person_id,participants, org_id, note.
    • Activities will appear to specific person_id  or deal_id  or organization_id if the information is filled in the activities.csv file.

  2. Loading Persons: 
    • persons.csv is expected in the path; /data/in/tables/persons.csv
    • Example of valid persons: 
      02.png
    • When an ID column is UNKNOWN: a new person is created in the Pipedrive according to the Pipedrive API - adding a person.  Name column is required.
    • When ID columns are KNOWN: you can update properties of the user with a certain ID according to the Pipedrive API to UPDATE the user.

 
Where does the data end up after I load them?

Activities are assigned to specific persons, deals, or organisations depending on the IDs known in the activities.csv file.

For persons: New person card is created or overwritten (updated) by new information given in persons.csv  When updating ID of person needs to be known as a required parameter.

 
Does it overwrite data with the same name?

This will depend on the input file specified in Data In.

Example:
When the ID of a person in person.csv or activity in activities.csv is KNOWN: those persons and activities are going to be updated. Any existing data will be overwritten. 

 
Is there an option of incremental load? The current version of the Pipedrive loader does not support an incremental load.
