Pipedrive Pipeline Stages
This article describes working with Pipedrive pipeline stages (statuses) in LightLead.
Loading stages
Deal stages are loaded from the stages array of each pipeline. Stages have: id, name, order_nr, pipeline_id. Sorted by order_nr. Adding a new stage requires discovery to be run again.
Stage structure
Each stage contains:
Identifier — the stage's unique ID
Name — the stage's display name
Sequence number — the stage's position in the pipeline
Pipeline binding — the parent pipeline's ID
Use in reports
Stages are used in LightLead reports for:
Funnel analysis: track the number of deals/orders/leads at each stage
Conversion: calculate conversion between stages
Forecasting: estimate potential revenue by stage
Grouping: group data by pipeline stage
Working with historical data
Important aspects of working with stages:
State snapshot: at the time of sync, the current stage is captured, not the history of transitions
Change history: full history of stage transitions may not be available — depends on the CRM API
Deleted stages: deals at deleted stages remain in reports, but the stage is marked as unknown
Updating stages
When stages change in the CRM (added, renamed, reordered):
New stages become available after discovery is run again
Renamed stages update automatically (matched by ID)
Deleted stages are marked as inactive
