Thank you for your feedback
G2 Buyer Intent captures enriched data about buyers researching your product across G2. Buyer Intent signals can be generated by a variety of buyer actions, including interacting with your G2 product profile page, comparing your product to a competitor, and viewing alternatives for a product in a shared category. This data enables your sales, marketing, and customer success teams to identify a buyer's stage in the buyer journey.
The G2 Buyer Intent signals available to this integration depend on your G2 plan.
Refer to G2’s plan information and contact your G2 representative to learn more.
How G2 Buyer Intent data auto-maps to Pipedrive
Buyer Intent signals are automatically mapped (auto-mapped) to Pipedrive. For existing organizations, data only auto-maps based on matches of the default Name field for Pipedrive organizations to the name in the G2 custom field g2_org_name.
For example, if a buyer with the domain companyx.com generates a Buyer Intent signal, this integration would only match the signal to organizations with companyx.com listed in the Name field.
Where G2 data appears: Pipedrive organizations and people
By default, G2 Buyer Intent data appears in the Details section for both Pipedrive organizations and people. Each Buyer Intent signal increases the numerical count included in the relevant pageviews fields, provides recent information detailing the specific G2 pages that the buyer viewed, and adjusts the G2 Market Score.
For example, if a buyer generates a category signal for your products, the numerical count in both the g2_category_pageviews and g2_total_pageviews fields increases by 1, and the g2_pages_viewed field identifies the G2 category page that was viewed.
G2 Buyer Intent is company-level information. The G2 custom fields display aggregated Buyer Intent activity across the person’s associated company, not necessarily activity for a specific Pipedrive person.
Filter and identify G2 Buyer Intent signals
The G2 Buyer Intent + Pipedrive integration uses specific keywords and properties to filter Buyer Intent data. Understanding the default Buyer Intent filters ensures that you are prepared to leverage Buyer Intent when building filters to match people and organizations in Pipedrive.
You can use the following custom fields in combination with Pipedrive's default filters to filter people and organizations.
Because G2 captures Buyer Intent signals at the company level, all people associated with a Pipedrive organization are included have identical Buyer Intent data in Pipedrive. This does not mean a specific person in Pipedrive generated the corresponding Buyer Intent signal.
