Answer

This can be done using SMS templates using the Sakari Pipedrive integration.

1. In Pipedrive, go to any contact record. 

2. Click the Sakari "Conversations" button to open the Sakari text messaging interface. A new window will pop up.

3. Type your desired message template in the Message field box.  This template can include static text, Pipedrive contact tokens, links and emojis.

Acceptable fields: 

  • Static text 
  • Pipedrive contact tokens - add Pipedrive contact tokens using the Pipedrive field name with opening and closing curly brackets (a.k.a. "squiggly") "{" like this: {{{first_name}}}
  • Emojis - paste your emojis 😀
  • Website Links - add website links (e.g. https://sakari.io, sakari.io, www.sakari.io)
