Creating a deal

Quick-add on the kanban or full create form.

2 min read · Updated Jul 4, 2026

Two ways to create a deal:

1. Quick-add on the kanban

Each kanban column has an inline Add deal form at the bottom. Type a deal name (and optionally a value), and the deal is created in that stage. Fastest for active selling.

2. Full create form

Click + New Deal at the top of the list page, or use the + Quick Create dropdown. Required fields:

  • Name — what you're selling, e.g. "Acme Annual Renewal"
  • Pipeline — usually one default; configure more in Settings > Pipelines
  • Stage — which column on the kanban
  • Value + Currency — the deal amount

Optional: contact link, company link, owner, expected close date, notes, custom fields. Use the contact and company search boxes in the create form to link the deal to a person and an account — no need to leave the form to look them up.

What happens on save

  • The deal lands in the chosen stage with the stage's default probability.
  • The creation is logged in the audit trail.
  • Workflows that listen for "Deal Created" fire (auto-assign owner, send follow-up, etc.).
