Creating a Workflow button

Please note that OneClick Settings is only accessible for users who are Pipedrive Global Admins. Read more in this Pipedrive help article

Don't forget to check out our Make and Zapier Basic examples once you've read this article!

Workflow buttons can trigger any 3rd party automation and provide the automation with Pipedrive data based on where the button was clicked from. Typically Workflow buttons are used together with platforms such as Make.com or Zapier, but you can pick you platform of choice or even build your own end-point.

Once you've installed OneClick go to any Pipedrive deal, organization or person and click on the Settings button in the OneClick application panel. To create your first button click on Create new and select Workflow button.

Button URL

The button URL is required, and should be the URL for your automation end-point / webhook.

Button text

Button text will be shown as the button label in the application main panel main view.

Description

Optional description for your button. Once set, users can see the description by clicking on the information icon next to the button in the application panel main view.

You can use basic HTML in your description. Allowed tags are <a>, <b>, <i>, <br> and <div>. Inline CSS is not allowed. All illegal tags and attributes will be automatically deleted.

Test your button

Once you've set up the button basic settings, click on Save and close the settings dialog. You should now see your button in the application panel:

Data sent with a button click

When you click on your Workflow button, it will send an HTTP POST call to the button URL that was defined in the settings. The POST call body JSON data looks similar to this example:

{
	"identifier":"6b4df289-2df2-4009-8517-29d292f433f5",
	"resource":"deal",
	"userId":"1109079",
	"companyId":"7176544",
	"selectedIds":"21622",
	"fields": null
}

Please note that this is the minimal JSON payload sent with the OneClick button. Depending on your other settings, additional properties may be added. Read more about advanced features later in this guide
