Issue Adding Organization to Pipedrive via Create Person Column

·Aug 06, 2025 12:12 PM·

Hi! I try to add an enriched contact to Pipedrive via Create Person column. I can add all fields withouot problems, but get an error when adding the organisation. The column in Clay is a text column. Similar columns like full name and email don't get the same error. Who can help? 🙂

The Create Person action in Pipedrive expects the Organization field to reference an existing organization in your Pipedrive account, not just text. To fix this: 1. Create the organization first using the Create Organization action if it doesn't exist 2. Use Lookup Organization to find the organization ID 3. Map the organization ID (not the name) to the Organization field in Create Person Unlike name and email which accept text directly, the organization field requires a valid Pipedrive organization reference.
