Opportunities & Pipeline
Opportunities represent deals in your sales pipeline. Each opportunity is linked to a contact and tracks the deal through stages from initial lead to closed won or lost.
Pipeline Stages
ScendCore uses a 7-stage pipeline by default:
| Stage | Description | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Lead | New inbound or outbound opportunity | Gray |
| Contacted | Initial outreach has been made | Yellow |
| Qualified | Prospect meets your criteria (ICP match, BANT) | Green |
| Proposal | Proposal or demo has been delivered | Blue |
| Negotiation | Terms are being discussed | Purple |
| Closed Won | Deal is signed and revenue is booked | Green |
| Closed Lost | Deal did not close | Red |
Creating an Opportunity
- Go to Opportunities in the sidebar.
- Click + New Opportunity.
- Fill in the details:
- Name — A descriptive deal name (e.g., “Acme Corp - Enterprise Plan”)
- Contact — Link to an existing contact

Managing Opportunities
Pipeline View
The Opportunities page shows a summary strip with key metrics:
- Total pipeline value — Sum of all open deal values
- Deals by stage — Count of deals at each stage
- Win rate — Percentage of deals closed won vs. total closed
Advancing a Deal
To move a deal to the next stage:
- Click on the opportunity to open its detail view.
- Select the new stage from the stage dropdown.
- Click Save.
AI agents can also advance deals automatically based on conversation outcomes, subject to your Autonomy Controls.
Editing an Opportunity
Click any opportunity to edit its fields:
- Name, Value, and Source
- Stage — Move the deal forward or backward
- Contact — Change the associated contact
- Account — Link to a B2B account
- Assigned Rep — The human owner of the deal
- Assigned Agent — The AI agent working the deal
Revenue Events
ScendCore tracks revenue events for analytics:
| Event Type | Triggered When |
|---|---|
pipeline_created | A new opportunity is created |
stage_advanced | An opportunity moves to a later stage |
closed_won | Deal is marked as won |
closed_lost | Deal is marked as lost |
upsell | Additional revenue added to an existing deal |
adjustment | Deal value is modified |
Linked Data
Each opportunity connects to:
- Contact — The primary person involved in the deal
- Account — The B2B company (if applicable)
- Conversations — All communication threads related to this contact
- Agent Jobs — AI actions taken on this opportunity
AI Agent Interactions
AI agents interact with opportunities through several actions:
- Create opportunity — When a qualified lead is identified during a conversation
- Advance opportunity — When a deal progresses based on conversation signals
- Log notes — Attaching conversation summaries to the opportunity
These actions are governed by your Autonomy Controls. The “advance opportunity” action is classified as high risk and requires approval in Controlled mode by default.
Troubleshooting
Opportunities not showing
- Check that you have the correct filters applied (stage, date range).
- Ensure you have permission to view opportunities (Closer role or above).
Deal value not updating
- Click into the opportunity and verify the value field was saved.
- Revenue events are logged automatically when values change.
