Users may have many reasons to export data from Pipedrive. The main one is reporting – you can build a custom sales report or dashboard, for example, in Looker Studio (former Google Data Studio) or Power BI. Another reason is sharing – you can share performance results with stakeholders and let them comment or even edit the records. 

Whichever reason for pulling information from Pipedrive you have, it will be unique and based on the purpose for export and the information required. How can you do this job? In Pipedrive, export data can be done in different ways. We collected and shared the most convenient ones in this text. Enjoy!

How to export data from Pipedrive

According to the Pipedrive documentation, ‘there are two ways to export data from Pipedrive.’ That’s partially true – these two ways are manual exporting options:

At the same time, neither of these manual ways to export Pipedrive data is good for reporting or analytics. For this reason, you can opt for Coupler.io. It’s a reporting automation solution that lets you automate data export from Pipedrive to spreadsheets (Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel), data warehouses (BigQuery, PostgreSQL, etc.), BI tools (Looker Studio, Power BI, etc.), and more. Let’s see what the setup flow for the Pipedrive integration looks like.

Automate data export from Pipedrive on a schedule with Coupler.io

Automated data export is a lifesaver if you need to fetch data from Pipedrive every day, every hour, or on another schedule for your reporting or other purposes. With Coupler.io, you can schedule exports of data from Pipedrive with a few simple steps. Select the desired destination application in the form below and click Proceed. You’ll be prompted to create a Coupler.io account for free.

Step 1. Extract data from Pipedrive

Connect to your Pipedrive account. Then select a data entity to export from Pipedrive. You can export information about Deals, Persons, Organizations, Activities, Files, Leads, Call logs, and Products.

Note: Optionally, you can export the already filtered data set from Pipedrive and specify the columns to export. We show how this works in the next section.

Step 2. Transform data from Pipedrive

With Coupler.io, you can make your Pipedrive data analysis ready right before it’s loaded to the chosen destination. Check out what transformations are available using this interactive form:

Step 3. Load data and schedule refresh 

Follow the instructions on the setup wizard to connect Coupler.io to the chosen destination app. For instance, if you export Pipedrive to Google Sheets, you need to connect your Google account and select a file and a sheet to load data.

Coupler.io lets you connect Pipedrive to Power BI, Looker Studio, and other BI tools.

The last thing to do during this step is to enable the Automatic data refresh. This feature allows you to customize the frequency of your data exports from every month to every 15 minutes.

The final action is to click Save and Run to load your Pipedrive data to your destination.

The automated exporting option using Coupler.io is a good choice. Even if you need to export Pipedrive deals or other data once per week, you can automate the flow within a few clicks. This will save a few hours of your reporting routine.

Native manual options for Pipedrive data export 

However, it may not be the best data export method for your goal. If you, for example, export Pipedrive activities once a month or a year, it probably does not make any sense in automation. Still, to make a smart choice, you need to check out all the available options. So, let’s see how you can export Pipedrive data manually.

Export data from Pipedrive as CSV or Excel

This method lets you export all the records for a specific data entity:

The exporting formats available are CSV and Excel. However, keep in mind that only admin users can benefit from this Pipedrive export data method. Here is what it looks like:

The exported file will be available for download for a month. After that, it will expire, and you’ll need to prepare a new export.

Can I export Pipedrive data if I’m not an admin user?

To export Pipedrive data this way, you need to have admin access. Non-admin users cannot benefit from this data export method. If they go More => Export data, they’ll see a history log of exports, like this:

So, ask your Pipedrive admin to promote you to admin as follows:

If for some reason, your promotion to admin is not possible, then you only have the following option for data export.

Export filter results from Pipedrive as CSV or Excel

This method allows you to export a filtered data set of your data entities from the list view. By default, some data entities, such as leads and organizations, have the list view. For others, you’ll need to switch to the list view.

The main advantage of this method is that you can get a filtered set of records right away rather than filter them afterward.

The drawback is that you’ll need to perform this workflow repeatedly to get the latest records for this filter. 

Export versatile data from Pipedrive

Now you know the three core methods of the Pipedrive data export. With all these methods, you can export the following categories of data from Pipedrive:

Export of Pipedrive notes is only possible with the Export data option or via the Pipedrive API. The latter can be done with a few clicks using the JSON integration by Coupler.io.

Export data from insights 

Exporting the data from your Pipedrive reports differs slightly from a common exporting flow. You can only pull data from the reports that have a table view. Then you need to click Export and select the format for the file – CSV or Excel. 

Coupler.io does not let you export reports from Pipedrive, but it allows you to build custom reports and dashboards based on the exported data. Check out our Pipedrive dashboard blog post to learn more about this.

How to export all data from Pipedrive

There is no ‘Pipedrive export all data‘ button to load all the data records across all categories in bulk. 

However, you can perform exports of all records by individual category including deals, contacts, products, etc. This is possible either using the native Export data option or the Pipedrive integration by Coupler.io. 

Which Pipedrive export data option is best?

The native Pipedrive data export options are manual, i.e., you can do the job using the Pipedrive interface with a few clicks. As a result, you get a CSV or Excel file with records that can be uploaded to other software for different goals. These methods are probably ideal if you don’t need to fetch data regularly, for example, every day or every hour. If you do, then it’s better to automate data exports to load data to any cloud platform like OneDrive, Dropbox, or another destination.

Using the Pipedrive integration by Coupler.io is a smart choice for users who want to optimize their reporting and analytics. The automated data flow from Pipedrive will let you build a self-updating dashboard or report, and facilitate data sharing with stakeholders. For example, you can schedule exports from Pipedrive to Excel every hour, all week long.
