Contacts
Leads Board
Track and manage leads across segments with a Kanban-style board.
The Leads view turns your segments into a Kanban-style board so you can visually track contacts as leads across different segments.
Opening the Leads board
- Go to Contacts in the left sidebar.
- Click Leads.
You'll see a horizontal board with columns. Each column shows contacts that belong to a selected segment.
How columns and cards work
- Each column is linked to a segment.
- Each card represents a single contact.
- The board can:
- Auto-refresh in Live mode.
- Display key details such as email, phone, labels, last interaction, and custom fields.
- Play a subtle chime in live mode when new leads appear (based on recent activity).
Setting up columns
- By default, the board starts with at least one empty column.
- For each column:
- Click the segment selector in the column header.
- Choose a segment (for example: "New Leads", "Warm Leads", "Hot Leads").
- The column loads contacts that match that segment.
- You can:
- Add up to a limited number of columns (e.g. 5).
- Remove a column (if more than one exists) using the X button on the header.
- See the total count of leads in that column as a small badge.
Live mode
- Use the Live toggle at the top of the page:
- When on, each column auto-refreshes periodically and may play a short sound when new matching leads appear.
- When off, the board stays static until you refresh or change filters.
Lead cards
Each card shows a compact view of a contact:
- Avatar and name:
- Displays the contact name and avatar (from the most recent conversation profile, when available).
- Last interaction (optional):
- Shows relative time since the last message.
- Hover to see the exact timestamp.
- Email and phone (configurable):
- Show or hide depending on your display settings.
- Labels:
- Colored dots summarizing labels applied through conversation sessions.
- Custom fields (optional):
- Up to a couple of key contact or conversation fields for quick context.
Click a card to open the Contact Details drawer and take action.
Customizing the display
Use the Display Options menu in the header to toggle:
- Show Email
- Show Phone
- Show Custom Fields
- Show Last Interaction
- Show Labels
Cloodot remembers these settings per user, so your board stays the way you like it.
Reordering columns
You can drag and drop columns to rearrange your pipeline:
- Grab the drag handle (icon) in the column header.
- Drag the column left or right to a new position.
- Release to drop it in place — the new order is saved.
Adding more columns
- Click Add Column / Add Segment or the placeholder card at the end of the board.
- A new empty column appears where you can choose another segment.
- This is useful for building a simple pipeline such as:
- Column 1: New Leads
- Column 2: Contacted
- Column 3: Qualified
- Column 4: Won
Viewing contact details
Click any lead card to open the Contact Details drawer, where you can:
- See full profile information and recent conversations.
- Review labels and custom fields.
- Navigate to the related session (if one exists).
