Feeds provide a way to view all of the different interactions that are related to your Contact, Lead, Opportunity or Account records and other records related directly to them. Use Feeds to see emails, activities, messages posted directly to the Feed by someone on your sales team and much more.

Feeds can be viewed from the:

You can choose to see Feeds in the expanded Card View or the "List View" which enables you to see more items on-screen at the same time ⤵

Select the main "Feeds" menu to see everything going on in Pipeliner as a whole ⤵

Make sure you’re in the "Compact View" (click on the "View" drop-down and select the "Compact View") ⤵

Then select the record that you’re interested in on the left and the Feed for that specific record will be on the right ⤵

Select any record. In this example, we will select a "Lead". However, you could select an Account, Contact or Opportunity. From the Detail page select the "Feeds" menu ⤵

What is viewed in the Feed is an individual’s choice and cannot be changed universally for every Pipeliner user. However, some details will automatically appear in the Feed, e.g. if an individual has set up email integration, then those emails will appear in the Feed.

The type of item or activity posted in the Feed is colour coded for ease of reference, e.g. Tasks and Appointments are orange, Opportunity and Lead updates purple and Notes yellow. The Feed item includes links to related records. Click on the link to open up the detail page of the linked record or hover to see the “Quick View” ⤵

Please read this article on Understanding Pipelines, Leads, Opportunities and Activities ⤵

Use the “Filter” button in the Feed-in the Compact View of any record, or if you have the record open, to turn on or off what you would like to see in the Feed. Once selected, these will stay this way within this type of entity until the next time they are modified ⤵

If you have automatic integration with your email program, those emails that were sent or received to or from anyone whose email address is already in Pipeliner prior to sending or receiving that email will be visible in the Feed and they will be linked to the Contact record (or Account record) where the email address is saved.

If you are using the Microsoft Outlook Addin you can individually copy specific emails into Pipeliner and choose which record to link the email to. This can include a Lead or Opportunity as well as Contact or Account. 

Whenever you see the Feed, you can post a message directly. Here is an example of adding a Message to the Feed when in the Opportunity Form, then sharing that with the team.

Click on the "Create New Message" button ⤵

Complete the fields. In the Watchers field select the individuals or groups of team members that you would like to see, or be notified about, this Message. You can link the Message to multiple records and add Files (including images) in the Documents section. Select “Click here to upload”.
