Call, WhatsApp, log a call, add a follow-up, read the timeline, and change the agent — from the website or the app.

Who is this lesson for?

  • Deal agent: follows the contact: call, message, note, follow-up.
  • Sales manager: assigns the agent from the list.
  • The lead: does not open the account. They only see a WhatsApp or a call from you.

Before you start

  • The contact should already be on Leads.
  • You need permission to add a follow-up, log a call, and add a note.
  • The WhatsApp first message should already be set in Lead Settings.
  • You can do every activity in this lesson from the website or from the app: call, WhatsApp, log a call, note, follow-up, timeline, and change the agent.
  • A periodic notification arrives on the app when a follow-up is due, and from Auto follow-up if that is on.

Open the contact

From the menu: CRM → Leads → Lead Contact.

Lead Contact list with Change Agent marked

Click the name. Use Change Agent when several rows should move to another agent — that is Step 6.

Work from Profile

The card has the name, the company, and the stage. The buttons under the name are the daily work.

Lead profile: Log Call, WhatsApp, Call, Add Note, Add Follow Up

  • Log Call: write a call that already happened. It goes on the Calls tab.
  • WhatsApp: opens WhatsApp with the first message from Lead Settings.
  • Call: dials the mobile.
  • Add Note: title, Public or Private, then Save.
  • Add Follow Up: the next follow-up. Step 4.
  • Proposal is the next lesson. Add Deal is later. A proposal does not need a deal.
  • Change To Client: later. Do not use it in this lesson.

The same buttons sit on the other tabs.

Log a call

Click Log Call.

Log Call: phone, status Answered, duration, started, note

  • Phone: filled from the contact. Change it if you used another number.
  • Status: Answered, No answer, Busy, Rejected, Failed, or Unknown.
  • Duration: hours, minutes, seconds.
  • Started: when the call began.
  • Note: what the next person on the file should know. Then Save.

Add a follow-up

Click Add Follow Up.

Add Follow Up: date, start time, send reminder, remark, Save

  • Follow Up Next: the date. Required.
  • Start Time: the time. Required.
  • Send Reminder: tick to set Remind before (day, hour, or minute).
  • Remark: why you will come back. Then Save.

The Follow Up tab lists every follow-up: date, time, remark, and status (Pending, Completed, Canceled). Add another row there if you prefer the table.

Read the Timeline

Open the Timeline tab.

Timeline tab with a completed follow-up and a created proposal

Calls, notes, follow-ups, agent changes, and proposals appear here in order. Use it before you call again.

Row colour on the list can come from automatic performance ratings if that tab is on.

Change the agent

Back on the list, tick the rows, then Change Agent.

Change Agent: one lead selected, agent list, Save

Pick the employee from the deal agents, then Save. That person is who follows up next.

  • If auto follow-up is on, a quiet contact can still get a periodic notification on the app from settings — that is separate from the follow-up you just saved.
  • Nothing is sent to the lead except WhatsApp or a call you start yourself.
