For sales operations teams who need open deals, people, organizations and leads moved from one Pipedrive owner to another after approving the list.

Connect Pipedrive, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Handing over a rep's book takes hours
When a rep leaves or a territory changes, their Pipedrive deals, people, organizations and leads all need a new owner. By hand it takes hours, and an update that touches other fields can wipe contact details or move closed deals that should stay put.
Without PopdockAI
- Filter each record type by the old owner
- Change the owner record by record
- Risk overwriting emails and phones
- Move closed deals by mistake
With PopdockAI
- The new owner is checked as active
- Open deals, people, organizations and leads are gathered
- You see the full list, with a second check above 100 records
- Only the owner changes, in batches, and moves are re-read

**Objective:** Reassign the records owned by `{from-user}` to `{to-user}`, covering `{include}` (default: deals, people, organizations and leads), after the user has seen and approved the full list.
**Step 1: Resolve both users**
Call `pipedrive-get-user` with `name.contains` for each. If either matches more than one user, list the matches and stop. `{to-user}` must be active; if not, say so and stop. Keep both user-ids.
**Step 2: Collect what would move**
With `owner-id` = the from-user's ID:
* deals: `pipedrive-get-deal` with `status` = open
* people: `pipedrive-get-person`
* organizations: `pipedrive-get-organization`
* leads: `pipedrive-get-lead` with `archived` = false
Also call `pipedrive-get-activity` with `assigned-to-user-id` = the from-user and `done` = false, to report open activities that will NOT move.
**Step 3: Propose, then wait**
Show counts per record type, then the full list (name or title, organization, value for deals). Wait for explicit confirmation. If more than 100 records would change, confirm a second time.
**Step 4: Write**
For each approved record, pass only `id` and `owner-id`:
* `pipedrive-update-deal`
* `pipedrive-update-person`
* `pipedrive-update-organization`
* `pipedrive-update-lead`
Work in batches of 25 and report progress after each. If the same error happens three times in a row, stop and report.
**Step 5: Confirm**
Re-read each list with `owner-id` = the to-user's ID and report how many records moved, and any that failed.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Never pass email, phone, name or any field other than `owner-id`. On `pipedrive-update-person`, passing any email or phone replaces all of the person's addresses or numbers.
* Do not move won or lost deals, or archived leads.
* Activities cannot be reassigned with this tool set. List the from-user's open activities so the user can move them in Pipedrive.
* If a filter on `owner-id` returns nothing when you expect records, run the same read without it and keep the rows whose owner-name matches the user instead.
**Validation:**
* If `{from-user}` and `{to-user}` resolve to the same user, say so and stop.
* If the from-user owns nothing in scope, say so and stop.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Sales operations
Handle a departure cleanly
Move a leaver's open records to their replacement in one pass, with every move confirmed.
Move all of Priya Shah's open Pipedrive deals, people and leads to Tom Reyes.
Sales managers
Rebalance territories
Reassign only the record types you choose, without touching contact details or closed deals.
Reassign Alex Kim's Pipedrive organizations and people to Sam Patel, but leave the deals.
CRM administrators
Avoid accidental data loss
Only the owner field is updated, so emails, phones and names are never wiped by a bulk change.
Transfer Jordan Lee's open leads in Pipedrive to Dana Whitfield.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You name the current and new owner, and your AI assistant gathers what should move. Nothing changes until you confirm, and won or lost deals and archived leads stay put.
01
Ask
You name the current and new owner, and which record types.
02
Gather
It checks the new owner is active and collects the records to move.
03
Confirm
You see counts and the full list, with a second check above 100.
04
Reassign
It updates only the owner in batches and re-reads what moved.
