Greater flexibility and streamlined revenue management with Pipedrive
Pipedrive’s new tool for managing and forecasting your revenue streams centralizes one-time, scheduled and recurring payments, giving businesses complete visibility into essential data like contract values, MRR and ARR.
This streamlined system allows for smarter decisions, helping businesses manage their sales processes seamlessly without switching between multiple tools.
With features like the product performance report, Pipedrive enables businesses to track both one-time and recurring products accurately, filling gaps left by traditional CRMs.
Available on the Advanced plan or higher, this feature supports revenue forecasting and data-driven decision-making, empowering teams to focus on growth while simplifying financial tracking.
Pipedrive’s trust center for data protection
Pipedrive’s trust center offers customers a centralized hub for all privacy, security and compliance information, showcasing resources like SOC 3, ISO certifications and data processing agreements.
Designed for transparency, the trust center reinforces Pipedrive’s commitment to data protection. It details robust security measures like advanced encryption and multi-factor authentication to give customers peace of mind about the safety of their data.
Pipedrive Insights with new report filters
Pipedrive’s updated Insights feature now includes new report filters, enabling users to analyze leads, deals, activities and contacts with precision.
Cross-entity fields are now available in report filters, allowing users to customize reports with data specific to their business needs. This enhancement supports data-backed decision-making, helping both individual salespeople and teams improve performance and close more deals.
In addition to custom filters, Insights offers collaborative dashboards, enabling Professional, Power and Enterprise users to create and share customized reports. The feature also supports goal tracking, allowing users to monitor progress toward personal, team and company targets.
Date triggers in Automations
Pipedrive’s new key updates in Automations enhance scheduling and integration capabilities, adding powerful new tools for teams to streamline their workflows.

This added feature makes it easy to plan timely, relevant interactions that keep customer engagement smooth and proactive.
For those integrating Pipedrive with other tools, webhook actions offer precise control over data flows between platforms. By combining webhooks with triggers and conditions, users can determine exactly what data is shared and when, enabling more tailored, efficient workflows with external apps.
Available to all users with Automations access (webhooks limited to admin users), these upgrades help teams boost productivity and optimize processes, creating smoother connections and consistent communication across tools.

The scanner is available to all Pipedrive users – regardless of plan – and includes features including duplicate detection to maintain an accurate contact list. It efficiently digitizes multiple business cards, though single scans provide the best results.
