Sales tunnels

Tunnel is a sales automation tool for connecting deal pipelines. Create tunnels to ensure effective and continuous work with customers.

To set up tunnels,

  1. Go to CRM and open Deals.

  2. Click on the current deal pipeline name.

  3. Select Sales pipelines and tunnels from the drop-down list.

Here, you can view existing pipelines and tunnels, and add new ones.

To create a tunnel, drag a stage to another one.

You can create a tunnel between the stages of any different pipelines. However, a tunnel cannot link stages of the same pipeline.

Error: Cannot add automation rule to the workflow

This error occurs when you add a tunnel from a stage with a workflow. To copy or move a deal to another pipeline, add the corresponding activity to your workflow.

Actions: CRM

Click on the sales tunnel to edit it. There are 3 options available here:

Rule aided copy or Rule aided move. Choose whether to copy or move a deal to another pipeline.

Configure. In fact, a tunnel is an automation rule that copies or moves a deal to another pipeline. As in other automation rules, you can edit its conditions and execution time.

Delete. The tunnel and all its settings will be permanently deleted.


Use case

Tunnels are valuable for companies that not only sell but offer additional services. For instance, if a company sells dishwashers, they probably deliver and install them.

In our example, when a dishwasher is successfully sold, we need to transfer a deal to the Installation pipeline.

We'll copy deals to the Installation pipeline, as we need the data about all the dishwashers sold for analytical reports.

Also, we'll set a condition to use this tunnel only if installation is required.

That's it! Two deal pipelines are now connected by our customized tunnel.
