Pipeline
The Pipeline is a visual Kanban board that lets you track your leads through different stages of your sales process using drag-and-drop.
Pipeline Stages
The pipeline is divided into columns representing lead statuses:
| Stage | Description | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Cold | New leads, not yet engaged | Blue |
| Warm | Leads showing interest | Yellow |
| Hot | Ready to convert, in active discussion | Red |
| Customer | Successfully converted | Green |
How It Works
Viewing the Pipeline
- Navigate to Dashboard → Pipeline from the sidebar
- Each column shows contact cards for that status
- Cards display: name, phone number, tags, and last active date
Moving Leads Between Stages
- Drag a contact card from one column
- Drop it into another column
- The lead status updates automatically
- The change is logged in the audit trail
Contact Cards
Each card in the pipeline shows:
- Contact name

- Last activity timestamp

Best Practices
Pipeline Tips
- Review your pipeline daily — Move leads to the correct stage based on recent interactions
- Use tags — Categorize leads by source (e.g., "Facebook Ad", "Website", "Referral")
- Don't let leads go cold — If a Warm lead hasn't responded in 48 hours, send a follow-up template
- Assign owners — Ensure every lead has a team member responsible for follow-up
