Pipedrive marketing attribution: connect your pipeline to the campaigns that fill it
Pipedrive tracks your deals and contacts. But which marketing campaigns created them? Spectacle connects every Pipedrive person, organization, and deal to the marketing touchpoints that drove them—so you can finally identify what marketing is working and what isn't, even deep down your Pipedrive funnel.
Why Connect Pipedrive to Spectacle?
Pipedrive is built for sales velocity—moving deals through stages fast. But it can't tell you which marketing brought those deals in the first place. You see a new person created, a deal added, an opportunity moving toward close. But was it the Google Ads campaign, the LinkedIn retargeting, or the webinar follow-up that made it happen?
Spectacle bridges this gap. We automatically sync persons, organizations, and deals from Pipedrive and attribute every stage change to the marketing touchpoints that influenced it. You get true Pipedrive marketing attribution without spreadsheets, manual tagging, or hoping your sales team remembers to fill in the "lead source" field.
Key Problems We Solve
Lead Sources That Are Never Filled In
New persons appear in Pipedrive every day, but the source field is blank. Your salespeople are focused on closing—not documenting where leads came from. You're generating pipeline but have no idea which campaigns deserve the credit.
Deals Without Marketing Context
Opportunities progress through Qualified, Proposal Made, Negotiation—but marketing has zero visibility. Which campaigns influenced that deal about to close? Which content touched the buyer before they booked a demo? Pipedrive doesn't track this.
Attribution That Depends on Sales Discipline
You tried requiring UTM parameters and custom fields to track sources. But it only works when everyone on the team fills them in correctly. The data is inconsistent at best, completely missing at worst.
Can't Prove Marketing ROI
Leadership asks which campaigns generate revenue. Sales claims credit for every closed deal. Without proper Pipedrive campaign attribution, marketing can't demonstrate its contribution to pipeline and bookings.
Optimizing for the Wrong Conversions
Your ad platforms optimize for demo requests and form fills. But those metrics don't correlate with deals that actually close. You need to optimize for leads that become customers—and Pipedrive knows which ones do.
What You'll Unlock
True Pipedrive Lead Source Tracking
See exactly which campaigns, keywords, and content drive Pipedrive persons—not just form submissions. Discover which traffic sources create leads that actually progress through your pipeline and convert to revenue.
Deal-Level Attribution
Track every marketing touchpoint that influenced a deal, from first website visit to won. Understand the complete journey that transforms anonymous visitors into closed revenue.
Automatic Pipeline Sync
Every Pipedrive stage change is captured automatically. When a deal moves from Lead In to Contact Made to Proposal Made to Won, Spectacle attributes that progression to the marketing that made it possible.
Organization-Level Attribution
Group persons into organizations and see how entire accounts engage with marketing before deals progress. Essential for B2B teams selling to multiple stakeholders within a company.
Real-Time Marketing Visibility
See which campaigns are creating Pipedrive deals right now—not in next month's report. Shift budget toward what's working while campaigns are still running.
Revenue Attribution
Connect won deals back to the marketing that created them. Finally answer: "Which campaigns generate actual revenue, not just leads?"

FAQ
How does Pipedrive marketing attribution work?
Spectacle tracks visitors on your website using first-party data and matches them to Pipedrive persons when they convert. Every deal stage change is then attributed to the marketing touchpoints in that person's journey—giving you complete visibility from first ad click to closed-won revenue.
Do I need to modify my Pipedrive setup?
No code changes or custom fields required. Connect with one click through OAuth, optionally configure field mappings, and Spectacle handles the rest. Your sales team keeps working in Pipedrive exactly as they do today.
Does Spectacle track my custom pipeline stages?
Yes. Whatever stages you've configured in your Pipedrive pipelines—whether default or custom—Spectacle captures them all dynamically. When a deal moves from any stage to any other stage, we record it as an attribution event.
Can I send Pipedrive data back to my ad platforms?
Yes. Spectacle can sync Pipedrive persons and deal events to Google Ads via Customer Match lists and Enhanced Conversions. This lets you optimize campaigns for deals and revenue instead of just form fills that never convert.
What about multiple pipelines?
Spectacle tracks deals across all your Pipedrive pipelines. Each deal's pipeline is captured as a property, so you can filter attribution by pipeline and see which marketing drives different types of opportunities.
