How to Build Your First Automated Email in Pipedrive (Step-by-Step)

Let's create a killer follow-up for demo requests. Copy-paste ready!

Using Workflow Automations (For Sales Teams)

That ends today.

In the next 20 minutes, you’re going to build your first fully automated email sequence in Pipedrive that follows up perfectly — every single time — without you lifting a finger after setup. US sales teams using this exact method are seeing 2–4x more replies, 30% faster sales cycles, and reps actually hitting quota instead of chasing ghosts.

Ready? Grab a coffee (or energy drink if you’re in California), log into your Pipedrive, and let’s build something that prints money while you sleep.

Why Your First Automation Matters More Than You Think

Before we click a single button, understand this: Your first automation is your proof-of-concept. Nail it, and you’ll never go back to manual follow-ups. Screw it up, and you’ll swear “automation doesn’t work for my business.”

We’re not going to let that happen.

We’re building a post-demo follow-up sequence — the highest-ROI automation in B2B sales. Stats from 2024–2025 show that 68% of demo attendees need 3–7 touches before booking the next call. Most reps send one lame “checking in” email and give up.

Our automation will send perfectly timed, personalized emails that feel human — but scale like a machine.

Prerequisites (2 Minutes to Check)

Make sure these are done first (if not, pause and fix them):

Email Sync is connected (Settings > Email sync) → Gmail, Outlook 365, or any IMAP

You’re on at least the Advanced plan (Essential users can’t do full automations)

You have a pipeline stage called something like “Demo Completed” or “Discovery Call Done”

You have a test deal in your pipeline (create one with your own email if needed)

Done? Great. Let’s build.

Part 1: Creating the Master Automation (Workflow Automation)

Go to Tools & apps > Automations (left sidebar) → Click the big blue + Automation button.

Step 1: Name It Like a Pro

Call it:

“Post-Demo Magic Sequence – 2025”

(Trust me — when you have 47 automations later, good names save your sanity)

Step 2: Choose the Perfect Trigger

Click Trigger → Deal → Deal stage is updated

Pipeline: [Your main pipeline]

Stage: Demo Completed (or whatever your post-demo stage is)

Why this trigger?

It fires the second you drag a deal into “Demo Completed” — meaning the rep just finished the call and marked it done. Timing is everything.

Pro move: Check the box “Trigger when deal enters stage for the first time only”

This prevents the sequence from restarting if someone accidentally drags the deal back and forth.

Step 3: Add a Safety Condition (Optional but Smart)

Click + Condition

Field: Deal value

Condition: is greater than

Value: 1000 (or whatever your minimum qualified deal size is)

This stops the sequence from firing on tiny deals or junk leads your interns drag into the stage.

Step 4: First Action — Send the “Thank You + Recap” Email (Day 0, 5 Minutes After Demo

Click + Action → Send email

Recipient:

{{deal.person.email}}

(If no person linked, use {{deal.organization.people[0].email}} as fallback)

From name: Use your personal name (e.g., “Sarah from Acme Co”) — not “noreply@company.com”

Subject line (copy-paste this winner):

“Thanks for the demo, {{person.first_name}}! Here’s what we covered…”

Email body (2025 high-converting template):

Hey {{person.first_name}},

Thanks again for jumping on the demo today — really enjoyed learning about {{organization.name}}'s goals with {{deal.title}}.

Quick recap of what we discussed:

• Your biggest challenge right now: {{deal.custom_field_pain_point}}

• How we helped [Similar Company] get [Result] in [Timeframe]

• Next steps we agreed on

I’ve attached the slides + recording below in case you want to loop in your team.

Question for you — who else on your side should we bring into the next conversation?

Looking forward to keeping the momentum going!

Best,

{{user.name}}

{{user.title}}

{{user.phone}}

{{user.email}}

Attachments: Add your deck + Loom recording link (use Pipedrive’s file upload or Google Drive link)

Toggle ON:

Track opens

Track clicks

Use signature

Click Save

Step 5: Add Delay #1 — Wait 2 Days

Click + Action → Delay

Wait: 2 days

Execute after: Business days only (this skips weekends — huge for B2B)

Step 6: Second Email — The Gentle Nudge (Day 2)

Subject: “Quick question about {{organization.name}}’s timeline”

Body:

Hey {{person.first_name}},

Circling back on our chat from Tuesday.

A lot of teams we work with in {{person.city}} are trying to get [Goal] wrapped up before end of quarter.

Where does this project sit on your priority list right now?

No pressure — just want to make sure I time things right on my end.

Cheers,

{{user.name}}

Step 7: Delay #2 — Wait Until Day 5

Add another delay: 3 business days

Step 8: Third Email — The Value Bomb + Social Proof

Subject: “How [Customer in Their Industry] got [Result]”

Body (example for SaaS):

Hey {{person.first_name}},

One of our customers over at [Similar Company in Their City] was in your exact spot 90 days ago.

They were struggling with [same pain point].

After implementing [your solution], they saw:

• 42% increase in [metric]

• Saved 18 hours/week in [process]

Here’s the 2-page case study (attached).

Would it be worth 15 minutes next week to map out what this could look like for {{organization.name}}?

Let me know what works,

{{user.name}}

Step 9: Final Delay + Breakup Email (Day 10)

Delay: 5 business days

Subject: “Should I close the loop, {{person.first_name}}?”

Body:

Hey {{person.first_name}},

I’ve reached out a few times about moving forward with [solution] and haven’t heard back.

No worries at all — I know things get crazy.

Should I go ahead and close the loop on my side, or is this still something worth exploring before [relevant deadline, e.g., “Q1 planning”]?

Either way, appreciate you taking the time initially!

Best,

{{user.name}}

Part 2: Adding Smart Branches (This Is Where It Gets Powerful)

Now let’s make it intelligent.

Go back to your automation and click the little branch icon after each email.

Branch 1: If They Reply → Stop Everything

After every email, add:

Condition:

Activity → Email received from contact → In the last 30 days

Then: Stop automation

This prevents you from bombing someone who already replied.

Branch 2: If They Open but Don’t Reply → Shorten Next Delay

After Email #1:

Condition: Email opened → but no reply in 48 hours

Then: Reduce next delay to 1 day instead of 2

Hot leads get faster follow-up. Cold leads get spaced out.

Branch 3: If Deal Stage Changes → Stop Automation

Condition: Deal stage updated to “Proposal Sent” or “Closed Won”

Then: Stop automation

No need to keep emailing if they’re already moving forward.

Part 3: Testing Your Masterpiece (Critical!)

Create a test deal

Add yourself as the contact (use your real email)

Drag it to “Demo Completed”

Watch the first email land in your inbox within 60 seconds

Reply to it → confirm automation stops

Create second test → don’t reply → confirm sequence continues

Fix anything broken now — not when real $50K deals are on the line.

Part 4: Deploying to Your Whole Team

Once it’s perfect:

Click Share automation → Make it a template

Have every rep duplicate it

Each rep authorizes their own email sending (one-time step)

Pro tip: Create versions for different industries or deal sizes.
