Pipeline CRM

Connect Pipeline CRM to sync contacts, update deal stages, and attach estimate PDFs automatically

PaintScout's Pipeline CRM integration syncs your contacts, automatically updates deal stages based on estimate status, and attaches estimate PDFs to contact records.

What is Pipeline CRM?

Pipeline CRM helps automate your sales process so you can spend more time closing deals. Grow your business with custom lead and deal tracking, make better decisions with customizable sales reporting and forecasting, and keep your best customers with flawless contact management and documentation.

Why integrate Pipeline and PaintScout?

Linking your contact list in Pipeline CRM to PaintScout means you can streamline the estimate building process even further.

The integration also allows data transfer back to Pipeline CRM once the PaintScout estimate is sent or accepted. This ensures your leads stay current, and deal stages can be automatically updated.

Updating Deals

In the PaintScout Settings, you can set up the integration to automatically update deal stages in Pipeline CRM according to the status in PaintScout.

Customize your preferences using the checkboxes in the Update Deals section. The choices in the dropdowns will directly mirror your deal stages in Pipeline CRM.

The most recent deal for the contact which is considered open will be updated.

Searching for a Contact

When adding a new contact to an estimate select the Pipeline CRM tab to search your Pipeline contacts.

By default, PaintScout will only show contacts associated with a deal in Pipeline. If this does not align with your workflow and you would like to expand the search to all contacts in Pipeline, please reach out to our team!


How does the integration work?

In addition to adding contacts to your estimates, this integration also allows you to send information back to Pipeline CRM:

  • When you send the estimate in PaintScout, it attaches a PDF of the estimate to the corresponding contact in Pipeline CRM.

  • It also updates the activity section with the email you sent to the customer.
