How-to

Use the Inbox

The Inbox brings texts, calls and voicemail with each contact into one conversation. Needs you shows what is waiting on a reply or a callback.

Who can do this
Everyone, for the leads they can see
Plan
Reading history is free. Sending texts and calling need Pipelio Pro.

Views

  • Needs you lists conversations waiting on you: a new text with no reply yet, or a missed call that has not been called back.

  • All, Recent (the last 7 days) and Starred.

Filter by texts, calls, missed calls, voicemail or connected calls, and Search name, number, or message.

Work a conversation

Open a conversation to see the full history in the middle and the lead's details on the right. From the conversation you can:

  • reply by text, or call,

  • snooze it (Later today, Tomorrow, Next week, or a custom time),

  • mark it done, star it, or Mark as unread,

  • Remove from Inbox to hide it. It comes back if there is new activity. Nothing is deleted.

Select several conversations to mark them read or unread, star them, or remove them in one go.

Someone not in your CRM

A conversation with an unknown number shows Not in your CRM yet. Choose Add as lead to create a lead for them.

In Pipelio, open Support at the bottom of the left sidebar and send a message. Workspace admins can message support directly; other teammates should ask their admin. Include what you clicked, what you expected, and the exact words of any message you saw.
