Are you looking for a quick and easy way to access Pipedrive data from PowerShell? We show how to use the Cmdlets for Pipedrive and the CData ADO.NET Provider for Pipedrive to connect to Pipedrive data and synchronize, automate, download, and more.

The CData Cmdlets for Pipedrive are standard PowerShell cmdlets that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time and bidirectional access to Pipedrive.

Cmdlets or ADO.NET?

The cmdlets are not only a PowerShell interface to the Pipedrive API, but also an SQL interface; this tutorial shows how to use both to create, retrieve, update, and delete Pipedrive data. We also show examples of the ADO.NET equivalent, which is possible with the CData ADO.NET Provider for Pipedrive. To access Pipedrive data from other .NET applications, like LINQPad, use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Pipedrive.

After obtaining the needed connection properties, accessing Pipedrive data in PowerShell consists of three basic steps.

PowerShell

  1. Install the module:

    Install-Module PipedriveCmdlets

  2. Connect:

    $pipedrive = Connect-Pipedrive -AuthScheme "$AuthScheme" -CompanyDomain "$CompanyDomain" -APIToken "$APIToken"

  3. Search for and retrieve data:

    $value = "50000" $deals = Select-Pipedrive -Connection $pipedrive -Table "Deals" -Where "Value = `'$Value`'" $deals

    You can also use the Invoke-Pipedrive cmdlet to execute SQL commands:

    $deals = Invoke-Pipedrive -Connection $pipedrive -Query 'SELECT * FROM Deals WHERE Value = @Value' -Params @{'@Value'='50000'}

ADO.NET

  1. Load the provider's assembly:

    [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData ADO.NET Provider for Pipedrive\lib\System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.dll")

  2. Connect to Pipedrive:

    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveConnection("AuthScheme=Basic;CompanyDomain=MyCompanyDomain;APIToken=MyAPIToken;") $conn.Open()

  3. Instantiate the PipedriveDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

    $sql="SELECT PersonName, UserEmail from Deals" $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveDataAdapter($sql, $conn) $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable $da.Fill($dt) $dt.Rows | foreach { Write-Host $_.personname $_.useremail }

Update Pipedrive Data

PowerShell

Update-Pipedrive -Connection $Pipedrive -Columns @('PersonName','UserEmail') -Values @('MyPersonName', 'MyUserEmail') -Table Deals -Id "MyId"

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveCommand("UPDATE Deals SET Value='50000' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveParameter("@myId","10456255-0015501366")) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Insert Pipedrive Data

PowerShell

Add-Pipedrive -Connection $Pipedrive -Table Deals -Columns @("PersonName", "UserEmail") -Values @("MyPersonName", "MyUserEmail")

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveCommand("INSERT INTO Deals (Value) VALUES (@myValue)", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveParameter("@myValue","50000")) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Delete Pipedrive Data

PowerShell

Remove-Pipedrive -Connection $Pipedrive -Table "Deals" -Id "MyId"

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveCommand("DELETE FROM Deals WHERE Id=@myId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.CData.Pipedrive.PipedriveParameter("@myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
