Top 10 Most Requested Pipedrive Features That Should Exist

Top 10 Most Requested Pipedrive Features (2025)

Based on ideas.pipedrive.com voting and community discussions, here are the features users want most:

1. Native Two-Way WhatsApp Integration

Current votes: 2,800+
Status: Under Review

What users want:

• Send/receive WhatsApp messages directly in Pipedrive
• Auto-log conversations to deal timeline
• WhatsApp templates for common messages
• Team inbox for shared WhatsApp number

Current workaround: Third-party tools like Respond.io, Wati (requires extra $50-$100/month)

Why Pipedrive hasn't built it yet: WhatsApp Business API compliance is complex, requires Meta approval

2. Advanced Reporting & Custom SQL Queries

Current votes: 2,400+
Status: Planned (Professional plan)

What users want:

• Write custom SQL queries for complex reports
• Cross-object reporting (deals + activities + emails in one report)
• Cohort analysis
• Export raw data to data warehouse

Current workaround: Export to Google Sheets/Excel and analyze there

3. Built-in E-Signature for Contracts

Current votes: 2,100+
Status: In Progress

What users want:

• Send contracts for signature without leaving Pipedrive
• Track signature status
• Auto-move deal to "Contract Sent" stage
• Store signed PDFs in deal files

Current workaround: PandaDoc, DocuSign, HelloSign integrations ($20-$45/user/month)

Why it's taking so long: Pipedrive confirmed this is coming to Professional plan in Q3 2025

4. Recurring Revenue & Subscription Tracking

Current votes: 1,950+
Status: Partially implemented (Professional plan has basic version)

What users want:

• Track MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
• Automatic renewal reminders
• Churn prediction
• Expansion revenue tracking (upsells, cross-sells)
• SaaS metrics dashboard (LTV, CAC, churn rate)

Current workaround: ChartMogul, Baremetrics ($100-$500/month)

5. Multi-Currency Deal Value Display

Current votes: 1,800+
Status: Under Review

What users want:

• Show deal value in both original currency AND home currency
• Automatic currency conversion in reports
• Historical exchange rates (not just current)
• Budget vs. actual in different currencies

Current limitation: Pipedrive converts everything to home currency, losing original currency context

6. Advanced Permissions & Field-Level Security

Current votes: 1,600+
Status: Partially available (Enterprise plan only)

What users want:

• Hide specific fields from certain users
• Read-only access to sensitive fields (deal value, pricing)
• Role-based field visibility
• Restrict who can delete deals

Why it matters: Enterprise customers need to hide commissions, internal notes, or pricing from certain team members

7. Task Dependencies & Project Management

Current votes: 1,500+
Status: Not planned

What users want:

• Link activities with dependencies ("Task B can't start until Task A is done")
• Gantt chart view for complex deal timelines
• Critical path highlighting
• Resource allocation across multiple deals

Pipedrive's response: "Pipedrive is a sales CRM, not a project management tool. Use integrations with Asana/Monday.com for this."

8. Bulk Actions on Mobile App

Current votes: 1,400+
Status: Planned for 2025

What users want:

• Bulk edit deals from mobile (currently desktop-only)
• Mass email from mobile
• Batch assign activities

Why it's needed: Sales reps on the road can't efficiently manage pipelines from mobile

9. Custom Deal Stages Per Product/Service

Current votes: 1,300+
Status: Declined

What users want:

• Different pipeline stages for different products
• Example: Software sales has 7 stages, Consulting has 4 stages
• One deal could be "Product A in stage 3, Product B in stage 1"

Pipedrive's response: "Use multiple pipelines instead. One pipeline per product line."

User frustration: "But we sell bundles! One deal has 3 different products at different stages!"

10. Advanced Email Scheduling & Sequences

Current votes: 1,250+
Status: Partially implemented

What users want:

• Multi-step email sequences with A/B testing
• Send time optimization (AI picks best time based on recipient behavior)
• Automatic follow-ups if no response after X days
• Email performance analytics (which templates get best response rates)

Current capability: Pipedrive Campaigns has basic sequences, but lacks A/B testing and send-time optimization

Workaround: Mailchimp, HubSpot, or Outreach.io

Honorable Mentions:

• Advanced duplicate detection (1,100 votes) - Catch duplicates before they're created
• Custom deal numbering (980 votes) - Use your own ID system instead of Pipedrive's IDs
• Conditional required fields (890 votes) - Require certain fields only at specific stages
• Deal version history (850 votes) - See who changed what and when
• Native LinkedIn integration (780 votes) - Sync LinkedIn messages and interactions

Features Pipedrive Will NEVER Build:

Based on official responses, here's what Pipedrive has explicitly declined:

• ❌ Fully customizable UI - "We maintain consistent UX across all customers"
• ❌ On-premise deployment - "Cloud-only strategy"
• ❌ Open-source version - "Commercial product only"
• ❌ White-label reselling - "We sell direct to customers"
• ❌ Built-in accounting - "Use integrations with Xero, QuickBooks instead"

What's Actually Coming in 2025:

Based on Pipedrive's public roadmap:

Feature	Expected Release	Plan Availability
Native e-signatures	Q3 2025	Professional+
Enhanced AI predictions	Q2 2025	Advanced+
Native video calling	Q4 2025	All plans
Mobile bulk actions	Q3 2025	All plans
Advanced reporting	Q4 2025	Professional+

Pro Tip: Don't wait for Pipedrive to build everything. If a feature is critical NOW, use integrations or build custom solutions via API. "Perfect is the enemy of done" - sometimes a workaround is better than waiting 12 months for native support!
