Your sales team uses Pipedrive but deal activity only shows emails and calls. When a prospect views your proposal or deck, Pipedrive has no record of it. Your deal stage updates are disconnected from actual buyer engagement.
With Papermark you can webhooks and visitor identification to solve this end-to-end with real-time analytics.
How it works
Step by step
Step 1. Upload your sales decks
Open Papermark and create a new data room. Upload your sales deck or proposal. Use drag-and-drop to add files, then organize them into folders. Papermark automatically indexes everything and supports bulk upload of entire folder structures.
Step 2. Set up access controls for prospects and buying committee members
Configure your security settings. In Papermark link settings, enable Visitor identification, View percentage. Every viewer is verified before they can access a single page. You control exactly who among your prospects and buying committee members sees which documents.
Step 3. Share a tracked link with your prospect and track engagement
Generate a secure link and share a tracked link with your prospect. Papermark tracks every interaction in real-time. See which slides the prospect viewed, time spent, and completion rate. Open the analytics dashboard to see all engagement data as it happens.
Step 4. Create a webhook to connect external tools
Go to Settings > Webhooks in Papermark. Create a new webhook endpoint pointing to your automation tool (Zapier, Make, or n8n). Select which events should trigger: "Link Viewed" fires when prospects and buying committee members open your documents, "Document Downloaded" when they download. Papermark sends a signed payload with viewer email, document name, pages viewed, and time spent.
Step 5. Choose which events trigger your automation
Pick the events relevant to your workflow. For tracking prospects and buying committee members engagement, select "Link Viewed". For monitoring downloads of sensitive sales decks, add "Document Downloaded". Each payload is signed with HMAC-SHA256 for security. You can create multiple webhooks for different tools.
Step 6. Update deal activity timeline and move deals forward based on document engagement via Zapier
Update deal activity timeline and move deals forward based on document engagement via Zapier. Connect Pipedrive through Zapier, Make, or n8n as middleware. When prospects and buying committee members view your documents, the webhook payload delivers their email, document name, pages viewed, time spent, and completion percentage to Pipedrive automatically.
Step 7. Connect Papermark link
In Zapier, create a new Zap with "Webhooks by Zapier" as the trigger (Catch Hook). Copy the webhook URL and paste it in Papermark's webhook settings. Add your action: Connect Papermark link.viewed webhook to Pipedrive deal update action. Now every time prospects and buying committee members view your sales decks, Zapier runs your automation.
Tools and integrations
Papermark connects to external tools via outgoing webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed). Slack has a native integration with OAuth. For all other tools, connect Papermark webhooks through Zapier, Make, or n8n.
