Note

With Pipedrive Prefill, you can only select and create up to 20 prefill items. Selecting more than 20 is possible, but clicking the Create button will not work. Instead, you will receive a message indicating the limit.

Managing Pipedrive Prefill Items

Once the prefilled items are created, you can now go ahead and send them or copy the links. If you want to manage multiple prefill items, select them from the list, and you should see the following buttons:

  • Download — You can download all prefilled items in a CSV file.
  • Send Invitation — Click this button to send the prefilled items to their designated recipients. As noted below, you can only send up to 5 prefilled items at a time.
  • Delete — To delete the selected prefilled items. This cannot be undone.

When you click the Send Invitation button, a popup window automatically fills the recipients with the user’s email address. You can change the recipient(s) if you want to. You can also optionally add a message. Once ready, click the Send Invitation button at the bottom of the window.
