The Pipedrive platform is a popular CRM system that helps you create and implement sales funnels. The service provides integration with email, allows you to work with deals in Kanban mode, provides the ability to track key indicators using a dashboard, etc.

The deals section is one of Pipedrive's key workspaces.  The main part of the work related to the promotion of the client through the sales funnel takes place in it. A deal is a full-fledged information object that describes an order or a customer request. Contacts, product, customer name / company name, price, etc. can be indicated here. The fields for deals are flexibly configured to the needs of the business.

Creating a deal is an important part of the workflow in Pipedrive. This can be done manually or using automation solutions. One of the source channels for deals can be Facebook lead forms. The most popular social network is an effective platform for lead generation. With the help of lead forms, you can take orders, collect applications and grow your customer base. If you link your Facebook ad account and Pipedrive, you can set up automatic conversion of FB leads into Pipedrive deals.
