Booth and conference leads that make it into Pipedrive
Badge scans arrive days later in a spreadsheet, and business cards get typed up by whoever has time. With Textiful, visitors give you their details by text and they’re in your CRM before they reach the next booth.
Straight into your pipeline
Add a lead or deal in the same Zap, so every booth conversation shows up in your pipeline before the show closes.
A keyword or a QR code
Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.
Qualifying questions by text
A capture flow asks for company, role, or timeline one text at a time, and each answer becomes a field your reps can sort by.

The Pipedrive action to use
Your Zap has two steps: Textiful’s New Contact trigger, then Pipedrive’s Create Person action. Here’s every field Zapier shows for that action, and what to put in each one.

Runs when someone finishes the capture flow you pick.

Each answer arrives as its own field you can map.
2. Action
Pipedrive: Create Person

Questions people ask
Yes. Each Zap watches one flow, so give each event its own flow and Zap. Add a label or a lead source for each event so you can filter in Pipedrive.
No. The short codes 33777 and 55444 work in the US only, and QR codes text those same numbers, so Textiful is for audiences in the US.
