Booking Status & Pipeline Stages

Track your sales process more accurately with Booking Statuses and Pipeline Stages. Here's how they differ and when to use each.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

What Are Booking Statuses?

Statuses help define the stage of commitment in the sales cycle. These are hardcoded, color-coded, and visible across the platform:

  • Lead (Grey): Initial inquiry; not yet booked.

  • Tentative (Yellow): Holding the space or waiting on contract signature.

  • Definite (Green): Booking is confirmed with a signed agreement.

  • Lost (Red): Business not won—either declined or booked elsewhere.

Note: Groups and Events within a Booking can have their own Status, separate from the main Booking.


What Are Pipeline Stages?

Pipeline Stages help track where a Booking is in your custom sales journey. These are editable by Admins and vary by property.

Default examples include:

  • New Inquiry: First contact (call, email, form, etc.)

  • Qualifying: Reviewing guest needs and fit

  • Proposal Sent: Customized quote sent

  • Contract Sent: Awaiting signature on formal agreement

  • Confirmed: Booking is finalized and usually paid

Use Pipeline Stages for more granular visibility alongside Statuses.
