Pipeline

Your pipeline — every lead, where they are in your sales process, and how to manage them

Pipeline

Your pipeline is the live view of everyone who's currently working their way through your sales process — from the moment they start a booking through to closing the deal (or losing it). It's the page you'll spend the most time on as a salesperson.

You'll find it as Opportunities in the sidebar.

What you see

The pipeline is a Kanban-style board — leads as cards, organized into columns by their current status. Drag a card between columns to manually change someone's status; click a card to open their full lead detail.

Aura tracks 14 different statuses total, grouped into three phases:

  • Before they've bookednew, interested, qualified, disqualified
  • Once a meeting is scheduledbooked, confirmed, declined, attended, no_show, cancelled, follow_up
  • After the deal resolveswon, lost, plus the legacy scheduled status from old imports

For exactly what each status means and how leads move between them, see Pipeline Stages.

The big rule: leads come back

The most important thing to understand about Aura's pipeline:

No status is the end. A customer you won last year can book a new call and they'll come right back into your active pipeline. A lead you disqualified can re-qualify themselves by resubmitting your form. Someone who no-showed can rebook tomorrow.

If you've used pipelines that put "Closed Won" or "Lost" in a graveyard at the end, this is different — Aura tracks the whole relationship over time, not just the first deal.

Acting on leads

From the pipeline view, you can:

ActionHow
Change a lead's statusDrag the card to a new column, or open the lead and use the status dropdown
Reassign to a different closerOpen the lead → assign dropdown
Add a noteOpen the lead → add note
See their call historyOpen the lead → calls section
Record an outcomeOpen the call detail → record outcome

You can also do many of these in bulk — see Managing Leads.

Pre-pipeline: booking intents

Before someone is even a "lead" with a status, they're a booking intent — someone who started filling out your booking form but didn't finish. We track those too, so you can see your booking funnel and find where people are dropping off.

See Booking Intents.
