Transaction Statuses help your team track the stage of each transaction as it moves through your workflow — from listing to closing and everything in between. You can create custom statuses that match how your office works, automate tasks based on status, and use status categories to power features like expiration dates and monthly backups.
Introduction
Every transaction in Pipeline has a status that reflects its current stage — like Listed, Pending, Closed, or Expired. These statuses provide visibility into a transaction’s progress and help power features like automation, reporting, and transaction expiration.
Admins can create, rename, or remove statuses to match your team’s process. Each status is also assigned a status category to enable special behaviors like automatic expiration or inclusion in monthly backups.
How It Works
Each custom status is assigned a category that affects how Pipeline handles it:
- Active – for open or in-progress transactions
- Inactive – for Closed, Expired, or Fell Through transactions
- Listing – required for listings that should auto-expire and appear in commission reports
Benefits
- 📌 Track each transaction’s stage at a glance
- ⚙️ Automate task assignments and expiration behavior
- 🗃 Organize and report on transactions more effectively
Best Practices
- Keep names clear and action-based (e.g., “In Escrow” vs. “Step 2”)
- Don’t duplicate labels or mix with side info (e.g., avoid “Residential – Pending”)
- Use status categories wisely to support reports and expiration logic
