Creating Multiple Pipelines
Creating multiple pipelines allows for more specialized workflows tailored to specific processes or departments. Here's how to create a new pipeline:
-
Open the existing pipeline, click the gear icon, and select New Pipeline.
-
A dialog box will appear where you can give the pipeline a Name and Description. The description is intended for internal documentation purposes.
-
Once the pipeline has been named and described, you'll be directed to the Pipeline editor, where you can manage the stages within the pipeline.
Customizing Stages in the Pipeline
Customizing stages within a pipeline allows for a more personalized workflow. To do this:
-
Open the desired pipeline, click the gear icon, and select Manage Pipeline.
-
From the Manage Pipeline view, click Add Stage to create new steps within this specific pipeline.
-
To rename an existing stage, click on it.
-
Reorder stages by dragging and dropping them into the desired sequence. Please note that the first and last stages are fixed and cannot be moved.
-
Once all modifications are complete, click on Apply Edits to save your changes.
Creating Leads in a Specific Pipeline
Leads can be created from within the pipeline, through a sequence Lead step, via a form, or through a segment. The Pipeline selection has been added to all these lead-creation capabilities. The Form Builder also introduced a setting to link to a specific pipeline. To view this setting, edit the form and access the Form Settings.
Deletion of Stages
When a manager deletes a stage, they will be prompted to move the leads to another stage. If there are no leads in the Stage being deleted, no prompt will appear. Please note leads cannot be moved to the Closed Stage from this dialog - all leads must be closed manually.
Availability and Access
The Custom Pipelines feature is available to all Pipeline users. However, the capability to manage pipelines is restricted to Managers. Agents do not have the permission to modify a pipeline.
Future Developments
The current release of Custom Pipelines does not include Pipeline Journeys or Published Pipelines. These features are planned for future releases.
