Refer to Pipedrive's developer documentation (opens in a new tab) for more information about the service.

Using API token

To configure this credential, you'll need a Pipedrive (opens in a new tab) account and:

  • An API Token

To get your API token:

  1. Open your API Personal Preferences (opens in a new tab).
  2. Copy Your personal API token and enter it in your n8n credential.

If you have multiple companies, you'll need to select the correct company first:

  1. Select your account name and be sure you're viewing the correct company.
  2. Then select Company Settings.
  3. Select Personal Preferences.
  4. Select the API tab.
  5. Copy Your personal API token and enter it in your n8n credential.

Refer to How to find the API token (opens in a new tab) for more information.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need a Pipedrive developer sandbox account (opens in a new tab) and:

  • A Client ID
  • A Client Secret

To get both, you'll need to register a new app:

  1. Select your profile name in the upper right corner.
  2. Find the company name of your sandbox account and select Developer Hub.

No Developer Hub: If you don't see Developer Hub in your account dropdown, sign up for a developer sandbox account (opens in a new tab).

  1. Select Create an app.
  2. Select Create public app. The app's Basic info tab opens.
  3. Enter an App name for your app, like n8n integration.
  4. Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from n8n and add it as the app's Callback URL.
  5. Select Save. The app's OAuth & access scopes tab opens.
  6. Turn on appropriate Scopes for your app. Refer to Pipedrive node scopes and Pipedrive Trigger node scopes below for more guidance.
  7. Copy the Client ID and enter it in your n8n credential.
  8. Copy the Client Secret and enter it in your n8n credential.

Refer to Registering a public app (opens in a new tab) for more information.
