Common Properties
- Name - The custom name of the node.
- Color - The custom color of the node.
- Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
- Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
- Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info
If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.
Inputs
- Company Domain - The domain of your Pipedrive company account (e.g., "yourcompany" if your Pipedrive URL is https://yourcompany.pipedrive.com).
Options
- API Key - The Pipedrive API token credential used to authenticate with the service.
Output
- Connection Id - A unique identifier for the established connection that can be used by other Pipedrive nodes.
How It Works
The Connect node establishes a connection to the Pipedrive CRM API and stores the connection for use by other nodes. When executed, the node:
- Validates the provided Company Domain input
- Retrieves the API Key from the credential store
- Creates a Pipedrive client with the provided credentials
- Stores the client connection and returns a unique connection ID
Requirements
- A valid Pipedrive account
- A Pipedrive API key with appropriate permissions
- The company domain of your Pipedrive account
Error Handling
The node will return specific errors in the following cases:
- Empty or invalid Company Domain
- Empty or invalid API Key credential
Usage Notes
- The connection ID returned by this node must be passed to other Pipedrive nodes to perform operations
- Each connection is stored in memory and can be used by multiple nodes
- Use the Disconnect node to properly close connections when they are no longer needed
- The API key should be stored as a credential in the Robomotion vault for security
