Pipedrive Automation V2

Pipedrive Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/pipedrive-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Pipedrive Automation via Rube MCP Automate Pipedrive CRM workflows including deal management, contact and organization operations, activity scheduling, notes, and pipeline/stage queries through Composio's Pipedrive toolkit.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Pipedrive CRM operations including deals, contacts, organizations, activities, notes, and pipeline management via Rube MCP (Composio). Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Create and Manage Deals

When to use: User wants to create a new deal, update an existing deal, or review deal details in the sales pipeline.

Tool sequence:

1. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS - Find existing org to link to the deal [Optional]
2. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION - Create organization if none found [Optional]
3. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS - Find existing contact to link [Optional]
4. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PERSON - Create contact if none found [Optional]
5. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES - Resolve pipeline ID [Prerequisite]
6. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES - Resolve stage ID within the pipeline [Prerequisite]
7. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_DEAL - Create the deal with title, value, org_id, person_id, stage_id [Required]
8. PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_DEAL - Modify deal properties after creation [Optional]
9. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PRODUCT_TO_A_DEAL - Attach line items/products [Optional]

Key parameters:

• title: Deal title (required for creation)
• value: Monetary value of the deal
• currency: 3-letter ISO currency code (e.g., "USD")
• pipeline_id / stage_id: Numeric IDs for pipeline placement
• org_id / person_id: Link to organization and contact
• status: "open", "won", or "lost"
• expected_close_date: Format YYYY-MM-DD

Pitfalls:

• title is the only required field for PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_DEAL; all others are optional
• Custom fields appear as long hash keys in responses; use dealFields endpoint to map them
• PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_DEAL requires the numeric id of the deal
• Setting status to "lost" requires also providing lost_reason

2. Manage Contacts (Persons and Organizations)

When to use: User wants to create, update, search, or list contacts and companies in Pipedrive.

Tool sequence:

1. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS - Search for existing person by name, email, or phone [Prerequisite]
2. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PERSON - Create new contact if not found [Required]
3. PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_PERSON - Modify existing contact details [Optional]
4. PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_PERSON - Retrieve full contact record [Optional]
5. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS - Search for existing organization [Prerequisite]
6. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION - Create new organization if not found [Required]
7. PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ORGANIZATION - Modify organization properties [Optional]
8. PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ORGANIZATION - Retrieve full org record [Optional]

Key parameters:

• name: Required for both person and organization creation
• email: Array of objects with value, label, primary fields for persons
• phone: Array of objects with value, label, primary fields for persons
• org_id: Link a person to an organization
• visible_to: 1 = owner only, 3 = entire company
• term: Search term for SEARCH_PERSONS / SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS (minimum 2 characters)

Pitfalls:

• PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION may auto-merge with an existing org; check response.additional_data.didMerge
• Email and phone fields are arrays of objects, not plain strings: [{"value": "test@example.com", "label": "work", "primary": true}]
• PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS wildcards like * or @ are NOT supported; use PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PERSONS to list all
• Deletion via PIPEDRIVE_DELETE_A_PERSON or PIPEDRIVE_DELETE_AN_ORGANIZATION is soft-delete with 30-day retention, then permanent

3. Schedule and Track Activities

When to use: User wants to create calls, meetings, tasks, or other activities linked to deals, contacts, or organizations.

Tool sequence:

1. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS or PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_DEAL - Resolve linked entity IDs [Prerequisite]
2. PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ACTIVITY - Create the activity with subject, type, due date [Required]
3. PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ACTIVITY - Modify activity details or mark as done [Optional]
4. PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ACTIVITY - Retrieve activity record [Optional]

• duration: Format HH:MM (e.g., "00:30" for 30 minutes)
• deal_id / person_id / org_id: Link to related entities
• done: 0 = not done, 1 = done

Pitfalls:

• Both subject and type are required for PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ACTIVITY
• type must match an existing ActivityTypes key_string in the account
• done is an integer (0 or 1), not a boolean
• Response includes more_activities_scheduled_in_context in additional_data

4. Add and Manage Notes

When to use: User wants to attach notes to deals, persons, organizations, leads, or projects.

Tool sequence:

1. PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS or PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_DEAL - Resolve entity ID [Prerequisite]

• At least one of deal_id, person_id, org_id, lead_id, or project_id must be provided
• PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_NOTES returns notes across all entities by default; filter with entity ID params

5. Query Pipelines and Stages

When to use: User wants to view sales pipelines, stages, or deals within a pipeline/stage.

Tool sequence:

1. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES - List all pipelines and their IDs [Required]
2. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ONE_PIPELINE - Get details and deal summary for a specific pipeline [Optional]
3. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES - List all stages, optionally filtered by pipeline [Required]
4. PIPEDRIVE_GET_ONE_STAGE - Get details for a specific stage [Optional]
5. PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_PIPELINE - List all deals across stages in a pipeline [Optional]
6. PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_STAGE - List deals in a specific stage [Optional]

Key parameters:

• id: Pipeline or stage ID (required for single-item endpoints)
• pipeline_id: Filter stages by pipeline
• totals_convert_currency: 3-letter currency code or "default_currency" for converted totals
• get_summary: Set to 1 for deal summary in pipeline responses

Pitfalls:

• PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES takes no parameters; returns all pipelines
• PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES returns stages for ALL pipelines unless pipeline_id is specified
• Deal counts in pipeline summaries use per_stages_converted only when totals_convert_currency is set

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Pipedrive connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit pipedrive
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @pipedrive-automation-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @pipedrive-automation-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @pipedrive-automation-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @pipedrive-automation-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/pipedrive-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

ID Resolution

Always resolve display names to numeric IDs before operations:

• Organization name -> org_id: PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS with term param
• Person name -> person_id: PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS with term param
• Pipeline name -> pipeline_id: PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES then match by name
• Stage name -> stage_id: PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES with pipeline_id then match by name

Pagination

Most list endpoints use offset-based pagination:

• Use start (offset) and limit (page size) parameters
• Check additional_data.pagination.more_items_in_collection to know if more pages exist
• Use additional_data.pagination.next_start as the start value for the next page
• Default limit is ~500 for some endpoints; set explicitly for predictable paging

Imported: Known Pitfalls

ID Formats

• All entity IDs (deal, person, org, activity, pipeline, stage) are numeric integers
• Lead IDs are UUID strings, not integers
• Custom field keys are long alphanumeric hashes (e.g., "a1b2c3d4e5f6...")

Rate Limits

• Pipedrive enforces per-company API rate limits; bulk operations should be paced
• PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PERSONS and PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_ORGANIZATIONS can return large datasets; always paginate

Parameter Quirks

• Email and phone on persons are arrays of objects, not plain strings
• visible_to is numeric: 1 = owner only, 3 = entire company, 5 = specific groups
• done on activities is integer 0/1, not boolean true/false
• Organization creation may auto-merge duplicates silently; check didMerge in response
• PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS requires minimum 2 characters and does not support wildcards

Response Structure

• Custom fields appear as hash keys in responses; map them via the respective Fields endpoints
• Responses often nest data under response.data.data in wrapped executions
• Search results are under response.data.items, not top-level

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
