Manage Contacts (Persons and Organizations)</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to create, update, search, or list contacts and companies in Pipedrive.</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> - Search for existing person by name, email, or phone [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PERSON</code> - Create new contact if not found [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_PERSON</code> - Modify existing contact details [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_PERSON</code> - Retrieve full contact record [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS</code> - Search for existing organization [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION</code> - Create new organization if not found [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ORGANIZATION</code> - Modify organization properties [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ORGANIZATION</code> - Retrieve full org record [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>name</code>: Required for both person and organization creation</li>\n<li><code>email</code>: Array of objects with <code>value</code>, <code>label</code>, <code>primary</code> fields for persons</li>\n<li><code>phone</code>: Array of objects with <code>value</code>, <code>label</code>, <code>primary</code> fields for persons</li>\n<li><code>org_id</code>: Link a person to an organization</li>\n<li><code>visible_to</code>: 1 = owner only, 3 = entire company</li>\n<li><code>term</code>: Search term for SEARCH_PERSONS / SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS (minimum 2 characters)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION</code> may auto-merge with an existing org; check <code>response.additional_data.didMerge</code></li>\n<li>Email and phone fields are arrays of objects, not plain strings: <code>[{\"value\": \"test@example.com\", \"label\": \"work\", \"primary\": true}]</code></li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> wildcards like <code>*</code> or <code>@</code> are NOT supported; use <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PERSONS</code> to list all</li>\n<li>Deletion via <code>PIPEDRIVE_DELETE_A_PERSON</code> or <code>PIPEDRIVE_DELETE_AN_ORGANIZATION</code> is soft-delete with 30-day retention, then permanent</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>3. Schedule and Track Activities</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to create calls, meetings, tasks, or other activities linked to deals, contacts, or organizations.</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> or <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_DEAL</code> - Resolve linked entity IDs [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ACTIVITY</code> - Create the activity with subject, type, due date [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ACTIVITY</code> - Modify activity details or mark as done [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ACTIVITY</code> - Retrieve activity record [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_ACTIVITIES_ASSIGNED_TO_A_PARTICULAR_USER</code> - List user's activities [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>subject</code>: Activity title (required)</li>\n<li><code>type</code>: Activity type key string, e.g., \"call\", \"meeting\", \"task\", \"email\" (required)</li>\n<li><code>due_date</code>: Format YYYY-MM-DD</li>\n<li><code>due_time</code>: Format HH:MM</li>\n<li><code>duration</code>: Format HH:MM (e.g., \"00:30\" for 30 minutes)</li>\n<li><code>deal_id</code> / <code>person_id</code> / <code>org_id</code>: Link to related entities</li>\n<li><code>done</code>: 0 = not done, 1 = done</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both <code>subject</code> and <code>type</code> are required for <code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ACTIVITY</code></li>\n<li><code>type</code> must match an existing ActivityTypes key_string in the account</li>\n<li><code>done</code> is an integer (0 or 1), not a boolean</li>\n<li>Response includes <code>more_activities_scheduled_in_context</code> in additional_data</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>4. Add and Manage Notes</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to attach notes to deals, persons, organizations, leads, or projects.</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> or <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_DEAL</code> - Resolve entity ID [Prerequisite]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_NOTE</code> - Create note with HTML content linked to an entity [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_NOTE</code> - Modify note content [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_NOTES</code> - List notes filtered by entity [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_COMMENTS_FOR_A_NOTE</code> - Retrieve comments on a note [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>content</code>: Note body in HTML format (required)</li>\n<li><code>deal_id</code> / <code>person_id</code> / <code>org_id</code> / <code>lead_id</code> / <code>project_id</code>: At least one entity link required</li>\n<li><code>pinned_to_deal_flag</code> / <code>pinned_to_person_flag</code>: Filter pinned notes when listing</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>content</code> is required and supports HTML; plain text works but is sanitized server-side</li>\n<li>At least one of <code>deal_id</code>, <code>person_id</code>, <code>org_id</code>, <code>lead_id</code>, or <code>project_id</code> must be provided</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_NOTES</code> returns notes across all entities by default; filter with entity ID params</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>5. Query Pipelines and Stages</h3>\n<p><strong>When to use</strong>: User wants to view sales pipelines, stages, or deals within a pipeline/stage.</p>\n<p><strong>Tool sequence</strong>:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES</code> - List all pipelines and their IDs [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ONE_PIPELINE</code> - Get details and deal summary for a specific pipeline [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES</code> - List all stages, optionally filtered by pipeline [Required]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ONE_STAGE</code> - Get details for a specific stage [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_PIPELINE</code> - List all deals across stages in a pipeline [Optional]</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_STAGE</code> - List deals in a specific stage [Optional]</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Key parameters</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>id</code>: Pipeline or stage ID (required for single-item endpoints)</li>\n<li><code>pipeline_id</code>: Filter stages by pipeline</li>\n<li><code>totals_convert_currency</code>: 3-letter currency code or \"default_currency\" for converted totals</li>\n<li><code>get_summary</code>: Set to 1 for deal summary in pipeline responses</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Pitfalls</strong>:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES</code> takes no parameters; returns all pipelines</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES</code> returns stages for ALL pipelines unless <code>pipeline_id</code> is specified</li>\n<li>Deal counts in pipeline summaries use <code>per_stages_converted</code> only when <code>totals_convert_currency</code> is set</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Common Patterns</h2>\n<h3>ID Resolution</h3>\n<p>Always resolve display names to numeric IDs before operations:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organization name -&gt; org_id</strong>: <code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS</code> with <code>term</code> param</li>\n<li><strong>Person name -&gt; person_id</strong>: <code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> with <code>term</code> param</li>\n<li><strong>Pipeline name -&gt; pipeline_id</strong>: <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES</code> then match by name</li>\n<li><strong>Stage name -&gt; stage_id</strong>: <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES</code> with <code>pipeline_id</code> then match by name</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Pagination</h3>\n<p>Most list endpoints use offset-based pagination:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <code>start</code> (offset) and <code>limit</code> (page size) parameters</li>\n<li>Check <code>additional_data.pagination.more_items_in_collection</code> to know if more pages exist</li>\n<li>Use <code>additional_data.pagination.next_start</code> as the <code>start</code> value for the next page</li>\n<li>Default limit is ~500 for some endpoints; set explicitly for predictable paging</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Known Pitfalls</h2>\n<h3>ID Formats</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All entity IDs (deal, person, org, activity, pipeline, stage) are numeric integers</li>\n<li>Lead IDs are UUID strings, not integers</li>\n<li>Custom field keys are long alphanumeric hashes (e.g., \"a1b2c3d4e5f6...\")</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Rate Limits</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pipedrive enforces per-company API rate limits; bulk operations should be paced</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PERSONS</code> and <code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_ORGANIZATIONS</code> can return large datasets; always paginate</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Parameter Quirks</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Email and phone on persons are arrays of objects, not plain strings</li>\n<li><code>visible_to</code> is numeric: 1 = owner only, 3 = entire company, 5 = specific groups</li>\n<li><code>done</code> on activities is integer 0/1, not boolean true/false</li>\n<li>Organization creation may auto-merge duplicates silently; check <code>didMerge</code> in response</li>\n<li><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code> requires minimum 2 characters and does not support wildcards</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Response Structure</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom fields appear as hash keys in responses; map them via the respective Fields endpoints</li>\n<li>Responses often nest data under <code>response.data.data</code> in wrapped executions</li>\n<li>Search results are under <code>response.data.items</code>, not top-level</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Quick Reference</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Task</th>\n<th>Tool Slug</th>\n<th>Key Params</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Create deal</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_DEAL</code></td>\n<td><code>title</code>, <code>value</code>, <code>org_id</code>, <code>stage_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update deal</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_DEAL</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>status</code>, <code>value</code>, <code>stage_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get deal details</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_DEAL</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Search persons</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_PERSONS</code></td>\n<td><code>term</code>, <code>fields</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add person</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PERSON</code></td>\n<td><code>name</code>, <code>email</code>, <code>phone</code>, <code>org_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update person</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_A_PERSON</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>name</code>, <code>email</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get person details</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_A_PERSON</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List all persons</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PERSONS</code></td>\n<td><code>start</code>, <code>limit</code>, <code>filter_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Search organizations</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_SEARCH_ORGANIZATIONS</code></td>\n<td><code>term</code>, <code>fields</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add organization</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ORGANIZATION</code></td>\n<td><code>name</code>, <code>visible_to</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update organization</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ORGANIZATION</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>name</code>, <code>address</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get org details</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ORGANIZATION</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add activity</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_AN_ACTIVITY</code></td>\n<td><code>subject</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>due_date</code>, <code>deal_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Update activity</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_UPDATE_AN_ACTIVITY</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>done</code>, <code>due_date</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get activity details</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DETAILS_OF_AN_ACTIVITY</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List user activities</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_ACTIVITIES_ASSIGNED_TO_A_PARTICULAR_USER</code></td>\n<td><code>user_id</code>, <code>start</code>, <code>limit</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add note</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_NOTE</code></td>\n<td><code>content</code>, <code>deal_id</code> or <code>person_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List notes</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_NOTES</code></td>\n<td><code>deal_id</code>, <code>person_id</code>, <code>start</code>, <code>limit</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List pipelines</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_PIPELINES</code></td>\n<td>(none)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Get pipeline details</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ONE_PIPELINE</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>List stages</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_ALL_STAGES</code></td>\n<td><code>pipeline_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Deals in pipeline</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_PIPELINE</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>stage_id</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Deals in stage</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_GET_DEALS_IN_A_STAGE</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>start</code>, <code>limit</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Add product to deal</td>\n<td><code>PIPEDRIVE_ADD_A_PRODUCT_TO_A_DEAL</code></td>\n<td><code>id</code>, <code>product_id</code>, <code>item_price</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Powered by <a href=\"https://composio.dev\">Composio</a></em></p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":12310,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
