Emails are displayed on this tab using the Linked emails widget. Users who have the permission to view the app item can see the entire conversation with the customer.
You can click an email on a lead’s page to view its whole content.
Note that if the tab and the Linked Emails widget are not shown on lead pages, you need to add them to the form manually. Read more about it in the Form templates article.
Sidebar
By default, the sidebar is displayed on the right side of the lead page, no matter which tab you are viewing. Here you can see information about the employee responsible for the lead, the lead’s pipeline, status, duplicates, and recent activity associated with it.
Responsible sales rep
If you don’t specify a responsible sales rep when creating a lead, you can do it later on the lead’s page.
To do that, use the following buttons:
- Start work. The employee who clicks this button is automatically assigned to the lead.
- Assign. Click this button to select a user from a drop-down list and assign them to the lead.
After the sales rep is specified, the lead’s status changes from New to Processing.
Lead pipeline
On the sidebar you can see the pipeline the lead belongs to.
Users with the permission to edit app items can move a lead to another pipeline by clicking Change. This is possible if the administrator created several pipelines and allowed moving leads in the settings of the Pipeline widget. Read more in Move a lead to another pipeline.
Lead statuses
The sidebar displays the current status of the lead.
If manual status change is enabled in the pipeline’s settings, users with editing permissions can assign a different status to a lead.
To do it, click Change and select the new status for the item.
The default lead statuses are:
- New. This status is assigned to all newly created leads.
- Processing. Work with the lead is in progress, a sales rep is nurturing it.
- Qualified. You can set this status if the client is highly interested in the product. During the qualification process, you can create a new deal or company.
- Unqualified. Assign this status if the customer is no longer interested in buying.
Status changes are recorded. The date when a lead’s status changed is written to its activity stream. On the Kanban board, you can see how many days ago each lead was assigned the current status. For more information on working with statuses, read the Manage statuses. Lead qualification article.
You can also move a lead to another pipeline if the administrator allowed it in the settings of the App item status widget. Read more in Move a lead to another pipeline.
Company and contacts
The sidebar also shows information about the counterparty, the contact person, and the deal that the lead was qualified into. If the company or the contact cannot be selected from the existing entries, you can create the app items you need by clicking the plus button. You can also click Edit to select an existing entry from the associated app.
Duplicates
By default, the lead page includes the Duplicates widget. If you enabled duplicate detection rules for the Leads app, the widget will show matches found during duplicate search or items merged with the current lead.
Read more about duplicate detection in the Duplicates article.
Most recent activity
The Most recent activity widget in the sidebar shows the date a user planned work on the lead or interacted with its page. The data is shown in the following way:
- If some CRM tasks are planned, the widget shows the date of the most recent task and the number of days left before it’s due.
- If all CRM tasks for the lead are finished, the date the page was last edited is shown. For example, this can be the date a user wrote a comment in the lead’s activity stream or changed its status.
Showing recent activity allows you to track leads that sales reps haven’t worked with for a long time. For instance, you can create a business process to notify the responsible employee that a lead needs to be marked as lost because sales reps haven’t worked with it for a long time.
Customize the lead page
You can customize lead’s page according to your needs. For example, you can re-arrange, add, or delete fields as well as mark them as required or read-only.
