Pipelines & Opportunities

Pipelines let you track opportunities (deals) as they move through your sales process. Each pipeline has stages arranged as columns on a kanban board, and opportunities are cards you drag between stages.

Pipelines Overview

A pipeline represents a sales process - for example, "New Client Onboarding" or "Upsell Pipeline." Each pipeline has its own set of stages and its own board view.

4. Reorder stages by dragging them
5. Click Save

Arrange your active stages in order and place closing stages at the end. Separately, each opportunity carries a status - Open, Won, Lost, or Abandoned - that records its outcome.

Opportunity Cards

Each card shows:

• Value (dollar amount)
• Assigned user
• Engagement score indicator
• Age (how long the opportunity has been in the pipeline)

Moving Opportunities

Drag a card from one column to another to move it to a different stage. The stage history is automatically recorded.

When you drag an opportunity to a Won or Lost stage, you may be prompted to enter additional details (close reason, notes).
