Overview

Every touchpoint with a customer gets logged as an activity - it’s what drives a lead’s current status, and it builds the history anyone picking up the lead later can read back through.

The Add Activity form on a lead: date, status, details, probability and next action
Step by step
  1. Open the lead from The leads list.
  2. Click Add Activity.
  3. Set the date it happened (defaults to today) and choose the status - this becomes the lead’s new current status once saved.
  4. Add details describing what happened, and update the probability if it’s changed.
  5. If there’s a follow-up already booked in, set the next action date and a short detail, and tick the checkbox once it’s confirmed with the customer.
  6. Click Save.

The new activity appears at the top of the lead’s activity history, and the lead’s status updates to match.
