Checklist integration
Hello, I think it would be very helpful to add a checklist feature (with use of templates) alongside the notes/emails/activities/files tabs. Ideally the checklists could be pinned to the top. And checklist templates would make this amazing for me.

Thanks for sharing @Brad so you mean like a set of tasks that you'd need to do on the deal/person/org? Can you explain to me a bit more in detail why this would help you more than for example adding task type of activities?

@Brad Maybe the automation will do the job. For one of our customers we created one which fills in some fields in the notes of an activity. You even can use HTML:
This will create an activity which looks like a check list:
Will this do the job for the moment? Besides that: Many of our customers would need a checklist functionality as well :-)

Hi Mike. Absolutely, I am a mortgage broker so a mortgage application moves through the stages depending on the status of the deal. Independent of the deal stage we need to work through conditions on the deal. I could also see checklists being useful for ensuring standardized deal practices in the company. Anyway for the deal conditions, there are about a dozen categories with about a dozen items in each category. On every deal I need to populate a checklist of documents/conditions pertaining to the deal. Each deal will be different. So ideally there would be checklists to track the status of these items & templates that can be applied for the varied circumstances. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for this! This is above me to be honest.

Thanks for clarifying @Brad
@Joseph Valenti how are you and your clients solving this currently?

Most of our mortgage brokers will create automations triggered by changes in stage/status. A large majority of the actions (things that happen in response to triggers) are tasks to be completed at the stage in question.

@Mike van der Valk Any luck with the checklists? It's a must for our real estate business as well and one of the reasons I was considering leaving pipedrive. Activities don't solve this problem and they clutter your crm. Please provide a status update if Pipedrive has this on the urgent feature list?? Thanks!

Hi @Manu Singh
Our team is aware of this request and hopes to solve it in the future. However, right now there's no immediate plans to work on it, sorry!

@Bernd Auer I wasn't able to make my HTML look anything other than code when it launches. How did you get it to display?
I thought something like this would be a nice touch!

That's too bad, @Mike van der Valk. But thanks for the reply.

I too am a mortgage broker and would like this check list function, sort of like Trello has. Every mortgage is a list of 50 things to do and it is a pain setting this up any other way in pipedrive.

Same here, I am a realtor who runs a small team. It would be so awesome if we could have checklists for each deal stage. I dont want to create activities for each deal, just a basic checklist so each team member knows what all steps for each deal of the transaction they have to follow. Right now, I have trello along with paper docs, but I would so much rather use Pipedrive for this... Really shouldn’t be that hard to create.

Agree here as well. Pipedrive, please add checklists, ideally next to the notes, activity, etc section.

Hi @Manu Singh @Mark Bryant @Stefan Cork @Paul Linn and @Mark Panizzon
I'm Mike and my task is currently to explore "task/project management" in Pipedrive. Checklists is something that pops up a lot.
In case you or someone in your team is managing projects in Pipedrive or along Pipedrive with other solutions please join us in this channel: https://community.pipedrive.com/group/project-management-delivery-management
I hope we can work on solving all your task management needs in the future!

Hi @Mike Elliott van der Valk,
We too would benefit from such an improvement. Brilliant idea to add net to notes or a submenu to Tasks. The ability to have specific "checklists" one can create as templates such as in email would be perfect. One could make this part of an automation with a particular template based on the Pipedrive and dependencies selected, including in Zapier. Can you please advise of the status of this request? We have a Sport Travel Company and there are specific task lists that must be done within the deal to prepare a participant for travel.

Angelica

Hi Angelica / @Administrator
I can see you requested to join the channel I mentioned up here. You can find my link there and book some time to call with me. I'd love to learn about your use case.
Regarding the status, we're in exploration phase at the moment. If all goes well we can go into solution mode and hopefully we can solve some of your pains with some of the solutions you mentioned but for now we are researching.

Hello Mike,
Thank you. I would love to schedule a time. How would I go about setting up an exchange time? I am in EST (I believe 6 hours behind you). I would like to focus on 3 items if possible.
- Integration of a CHECKLIST within the deal
- Participant(s) query/ filter. Example: Filter ALL participants - for ALL DEALS containing: "PIPEDRIVE FIELDS", (such as product).
- WHATSAPP Integration: customer Import/export, Groups, Broadcast, email, Text & Calling

Hi @Stefan Cork
I'm very sorry to hear that
At the moment I am just starting a research on how Pipedrive could better help with task/project management. I understand you are not our customer anymore but in case you have 20-30 minutes to talk it would be really amazing to learn from you what we can do better. If you'd like to help, then please book some time with me for next week via this link.
To follow our progress further join our closed community channel as well if you'd like.

I can definitely take some notes regarding your other requests and make sure they end up on the desks of the right people in Pipedrive but on the call I'd like to mainly learn about how you manage your tasks/projects if that's okay.To follow our progress further join our closed community channel as well.
Talk soon 🙏 .

We are a travel business designing custom tours. This would be a really useful feature, I have looked at creating tasks as an automation, but each of our trips requires so many little mini-tasks that it becomes overwhelming for the team due to the amount of space taken up by each activity.

Yes, Checklists with functional check-boxes (with a template option) is an essential missing feature. Please add this asap. "Activities" is extremely clunky and limiting and is not working for my company at the task level. Activities is more for milestone events.

Just adding my up-vote here to Checklists feature.
We use Process Street checklists, and we link the checklist URL to a Note in the Deal in Pipedrive. It's obviously inefficient moving between the two (and there's limitations to Process St). Would be a huge value-add for Pipedrive if it had this feature, essentially what Process Street offers, 'in house'.
We do use Workflow Automations to create a number of Activities as a Deal moves through stages. But this is not visually helpful for the whole team to see the whole checklist of what needs to be done, with work instructions, neatly and visually. I'll happily show you on a call our Process Street checklists and the visual benefit it provides (tasks on the left hand side, work instructions on on the right, can see who is assigned what, and the order of the tasks).
A huge limitation of Process St is not being able to edit or add tasks to a Checklist template. This is where Pipedrive could offer huge point of difference. Imagine using Workflow Automations to create a Checklist (from a template) at a certain stage, but the user has the ability to edit or add to the Checklist. Hugely powerful.

Jazmin Poyser Thank you for the suggestion to use Process Street. We're drowning in "details" and could no longer function without a Checklist feature. I agree with all of your points about the problems with Process Street (can't edit or add tasks to a Checklist; you can only edit or add tasks to the Templates) and the inefficiency of toggling back-and-forth between screens or monitors. It would be IDEAL if the Process Street Checklists were embedded IN PipeDrive Deals or Organizations....

The lack of a checklist feature is requiring us to toggle back and forth with Trello. Details are being missed. @Mike van der Valk is a CHECKLIST feature in the works yet?

We're working on a task/project management tool that's in research phase which will help you out a lot, check it out here: https://community.pipedrive.com/group/project-management-delivery-management
There's no ETA yet but we're exploring improving that area.

Hi @James Oakden not necessarily a checklist but a project with your tasks/activities as checks is what we're working on. Check it out here and let me know if you'd like access.
