Easily manage and report on your sales activities by using tasks, events, and templates in Pipeline CRM.

Types, To-do Templates, and Postpone & Duration settings can all be accessed by an admin of your account by:
  1. Click on Settings located in the lower-left corner.
  2. Select the Activities tab.

Task & Event Types

Classify and organize your tasks and events for accurate reporting and streamlined workflows.

Common types include:
  • Call
  • Appointment
  • To-do
  • Product Demo
  • Promotional Event
  • Personal Time Off
You can use default types or fully customize your list:

    • To Edit: Use the pencil icon to rename or update a type.
    • Delete: Click the trash can icon to remove.
    • Reorder: Drag and drop using the six vertical dots.
    • The top-listed type becomes the default when you create a new task or event.


Priorities

Stay on top of what’s most important:
  • You may add, edit, and/or delete existing Priorities.
  • Assign a priority (such as High, Medium, or Low) to every task.
  • Use priorities to sort or filter your task list.
  • Change priority at any time by editing the task.


To-do Templates

Standardize your processes and save time by applying templates to deals, people, or companies.
