CRM
CRM is where prospects become customers. The core flow is Lead → Contact / Account → Deal, with Activities (calls, meetings, tasks) attached to any of them along the way.
Leads
A lead is an unqualified prospect — name, email/phone, company, source, and
territory, plus an estimated deal_value and any custom fields your
organization has added.
By default, Leads move through this status graph:
unqualified and lost both require a disqualification reason. converted
is the only path forward — converting a lead creates the Contact/Account
(and optionally a Deal) it becomes.
Use the Leads Kanban board to drag leads between statuses instead of editing them one at a time — it’s the fastest way to work a pipeline.
Contacts and Accounts
- An Account is a company — it has a status (default
active) and, for reporting, an ARR (annual recurring revenue) figure. It owns a set of Contacts and Deals. - A Contact is a person at an Account. Contacts carry a
do_not_contactflag independent of any status — set it and CRM stops surfacing that person for outreach, regardless of what else changes.
Deals
A Deal tracks a specific sales opportunity through a configurable pipeline:
Reaching either closed stage automatically stamps a close_date. Deals
carry value, currency, and a probability (0–100) for weighted
forecasting.
Activities
An Activity is a call, meeting, or task, with its own status
(scheduled/in progress/completed/cancelled) and priority
(low/medium/high/urgent). Activities attach to whichever record they’re
about — a lead, contact, account, or deal — so a record’s activity history
is always visible from that record.
Customizing your pipeline
Admins can configure, per organization:
- Pipeline stages — reorder or rename the stages Leads and Deals move through
- Custom fields — add fields to Leads, Contacts, Accounts, or Deals beyond the built-in set
