To begin with, make sure you have the following:
- Dux-Soup Turbo edition. If you don't have it yet, it's easy to buy Turbo.
- Pipedrive account.
Let's start then!
Step 1 - Installing the Pipedrive Dux-Soup Connector
- First, make sure you have Dux-Soup Turbo (you'll have a yellow Dux like below if you do) and that you are logged on to an administrator account within your Pipedrive environment.
- Next you need to go to the Dux-Dash. To do this, click on your Dux-Soup icon, and you’ll see the Dux-Dash button in the bottom right hand corner of the drop down box.
- Clicking on the Dux-Dash will open a new window and take you to your Dux-Dash. Here you'll see a menu on the left hand side. Select 'CRM Connections'.
- Click on 'Add Pipedrive Account'. This will take you to the Pipedrive marketplace.
- From here Select 'Install Now'. Confirm access permissions – ensuring you have an administrator account.
- After pressing 'allow' and 'install' you will be taken back to Dux-Dash CRM Connections, where you can see that your Dux-Soup Connector has been successfully installed!
- If you want to remove the Dux-Soup Connector, go back to the Pipedrive Marketplace where you have the option to remove this connection.

Now that your integration between Pipedrive and LinkedIn is working, you can create and update contacts in Pipedrive from LinkedIn data using Dux-Soup.
- Enable your Pipedrive Integration within the 'CRM Connections' section of the Dux-Dash.
- Choose which People you want to be created within Pipedrive from the drop-down menu.
- Every time you visit a profile matching your chosen criteria in LinkedIn, a contact in your Pipedrive account will be automatically created or updated.

Step 3 - Sending LinkedIn Connection Requests and Messages from Pipedrive
- As long as the LinkedIn URL and LinkedIn ID fields have been populated against a record in Pipedrive, you can now click on the 3 dots in the top right hand corner to automate activities to that contact.
- If the person you wish to contact is an existing 1st degree connection in LinkedIn, you can now select the “Send Message” option
- This will open a window where you can type your message. Remember you can use the same text markers as you use in your usual Dux-Soup messaging activities. As this is a message to a 1st degree connection you have a limit of 3000 characters.
- By pressing the OK button, this will queue the action for execution. Be aware that the usual Dux-Soup ‘blacklisting’ rules will apply.
- If your Pipedrive contact is not yet a 1st degree connection you can select the 'Request Connection' option.
- This will open a window where you can type your connection request message. Remember you can use the same text markers as you use in your usual Dux-Soup messaging activities. As this is a connection request message you are limited to 300 characters.
- Press the OK button to queue the action for execution.

Step 5 - Creating Pipedrive Activities for New Connections and Inbound Messages
- Within your Pipedrive integration options in the Dux-Dash, select 'Create and update People from all profiles' and tick the 2 options below.
- By enabling these options, Dux-Soup will periodically check for new LinkedIn connections and Incoming LinkedIn messages in line with your Message Bridge settings (in your Dux-Soup, Connect Options)
- When a new message is received in LinkedIn, or someone becomes a 1st degree connection, you will see a new activity created in Pipedrive.
- You can then follow-up as appropriate with the contact. To do this, just click on the line in Pipedrive and take the appropriate action.
