Back office is a main place/instance to handle partners’ status and activity. This information will then be used in other systems for business/marketing purposes using the below structure:

  1. Backoffice recognizes specific events/activities in the system.
  2. These events are tracked within the “Google Tag Manager” ecosystem.
  3. Other software/solutions use the information from Google Tag Manager as events triggering specific actions in the software solutions.


  • Structure and information mapping (backoffice / Pipedrive / MailChimp)

Events:

-> Backoffice: New user registered -> Google Tag Manager

Pipedrive:
1. Search person [email]: https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/Persons/get_persons_search

2. If found, update a person’s custom field “Type” = “Ambassador” https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/PersonFields/put_personFields_id

3. If not found, create a person with:
