Deals in the pipeline, before your AE has their coffee.
Every qualified lead becomes a Pipedrive deal with the right pipeline, stage, owner and custom fields pre-filled from the conversation. The transcript attached as a note. The right next activity created. Your AE opens Pipedrive to a triaged day.
Why Pipedrive’s native chat isn’t enough
LeadBooster chatbot is flow-builder era
Pipedrive’s LeadBooster is a rule-based chatbot from the pre-LLM world. It can’t run vertical qualification — EPC, BUS grant, conflict screen — because it wasn’t built for that.
WhatsApp isn’t native
Pipedrive’s chat tools live on the website. Your WhatsApp conversations live in a separate app, never touching the CRM.
Custom fields don’t fill themselves
‘What does your deal shape look like?’ Postcode, property type, service, budget — without Zatio feeding it in, your AE types it manually.
What lands in Pipedrive
Person + organization
Created or matched by email/phone. Organization created only when appropriate (B2B leads), not for every consumer enquiry.
Deal in the right pipeline
By vertical / service. Set the pipeline mapping once — Zatio applies it every time.
Stage by outcome
Booked-for-survey → Discovery. Needs-nurture → Contact Made. Disqualified → Lost with reason. Your forecast gets honest.
Custom fields pre-filled
Every custom field you create on the Deal or Person object can be mapped to a conversation datum. EPC rating, roof orientation, conflict flag, BUS eligibility.
Next activity scheduled
Booked demo? Activity on the day, for the assigned owner. No-show risk? Activity for a reminder call.
Transcript as a note
Full WhatsApp or web conversation attached to the deal. Your AE opens the deal, reads the story, walks into the call informed.
