The problem it solves

When developers fork your open-source repo, that's a real signal of interest, but you have no easy way to capture it as a sales lead. Those potential contacts slip by unnoticed while you're focused on the code.

Who it fits

A developer-tools or open-source company using GitHub and Pipedrive for sales.

How it works

  1. Triggers automatically when someone forks your GitHub repository
  2. Looks up the forker's public profile details
  3. Checks Pipedrive to see if they're already a contact
  4. Creates a new lead or updates the existing one with a note about the fork
What you get

Forks that turn into tracked contacts automatically

You get a new Pipedrive contact created automatically whenever someone forks your GitHub repository.

What you get

A new or updated lead in Pipedrive with a note linking back to the GitHub fork.

What you need

A GitHub account and a Pipedrive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
