Person is created but Organization disappears and isn’t linked in Pipedrive

[Bruno_Celeste]

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Make Community,

I’m having a strange issue in my Pipedrive automation and could use your help.

Here’s what happens:
My scenario first creates a new Organization in Pipedrive (if it doesn’t exist).
Then it creates a Person and links it to that Organization using the org_id variable from the previous step.

The Person is created successfully — no error at all — but the Organization disappears right after, and the Person ends up not attached to any Organization in Pipedrive.

It looks like the Organization gets deleted or rolled back as soon as the Person module runs, even though it succeeds.

What I expect:

The Organization should stay in Pipedrive.

The newly created Person should remain linked to it.

I’ve retried this dozens of times with different setups (using Set/Get variable for org_id, checking filters, etc.), but the result is always the same.

Has anyone seen this behavior or knows how to prevent Pipedrive from removing the created Organization?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Eric

Hey Bruno,

you are missing two filters - before creating an organization and creating a person. At the moment, these two will run no matter if an organization or a person is found and will still create a new one.

You must configure filters before “create” modules - right now you are creating new org and new person regardless of whether the search returns any results.

Also, keep in mind recent changes to Pipedrive API pricing - each Search for entities costs 40 tokens.

Rate limiting

So if you are planning high usage think about implementing external database to avoid unnecessary search operations.
