Custom Pipeline Stages

Custom Pipeline Stages

Your pipeline's columns are its stages. You manage them right on the CRM → Pipeline board — there's no separate settings screen. (Pipeline is a Business-plan feature.)

Starter stages

When your account is created, a default set of stages is seeded so the board isn't empty. Rework them to match how you actually sell.

Adding a stage

  1. On the Pipeline page, click Add Stage (top right)
  2. Type the stage name
  3. Click Add (or press Enter)

The new stage appears as a new column with an auto-assigned color.

Deleting a stage

Click the trash icon in a stage's header. You'll confirm, then the stage is removed. Any customers in it move to the Unassigned column — they're never deleted.

Won and Lost stages

Stages can be flagged as a won stage (shown with a trophy) or a lost stage (shown with an X). These mark the end states of your funnel so wins and losses are visually obvious on the board.

Unassigned

Customers with no stage yet — or whose stage you deleted — collect in the dashed Unassigned column. Drag them onto a stage to bring them into the funnel.

Keep it readable

A handful of clear stages beats a dozen fuzzy ones. A typical setup: New Lead → Contacted → Quoted → Won → Lost. Adjust names to your trade.

FAQ

Where do I customize stages — Settings? No. Add and delete stages directly on the Pipeline board.

Can I reorder or recolor stages? New stages get a color automatically. Manage your funnel by adding the stages you need in the order you create them.

What happens to customers when I delete a stage? They move to Unassigned. No customer data is lost.

Are there multiple pipelines? There's one pipeline board for your organization.
