Working the pipeline: stages, deals, and moving work forward

How deals and stages work, customizing your pipeline, and what the kanban is (and isn't) for.

The Pipeline tab shows your deals as a kanban board. Every deal belongs to a lead — deals are created from inside a lead's profile (right panel), and the kanban is where you move them and watch the flow.

Default stages

New workspaces ship with six stages: New Opportunity Identified → Qualification & Discovery → Proposal Development → Contract Negotiation Phase → Deal Closed & Won → Deal Closed & Lost.

You can rename, recolor, reorder, archive, or add stages from Settings to match how your team actually sells.

Creating a deal

Open the lead → right panel → add a deal with its value. The deal then appears on the kanban in its current stage. One lead can hold multiple deals.

Moving deals

Drag a deal from stage to stage as it progresses. Stage changes are recorded on the lead's activity feed, can trigger agents (e.g. "when a deal hasn't moved in 7 days, nudge me"), and can fire outbound webhooks to the rest of your stack.

The self-updating pipeline

Agents can move deals for you based on what actually happens — a booked meeting, a signed contract via a Stripe webhook, a qualification answer found in a call transcript. Every AI-proposed move follows the same approval model as everything else: you confirm before it changes unless you've opted that agent into autosend.

Tips

  • Keep stages to what you can verify happened, not moods ("Proposal sent" beats "Feeling good").

  • Use an agent for stall detection: "If a deal sits in Qualification for 7 days with no activity, draft a follow-up and remind the owner."

  • Won/Lost are stages too — closing a deal keeps the lead and its history intact.

Troubleshooting

If clicking a deal card only drags it and won't open the lead, update your browser and try again — and if it persists, report it from the widget so we can check the click handling on your setup.
