How to Use Smart Funnel to Manage Deals: Adding and Deleting Columns

Learn how you can add columns to match your lead category in Smart Funnel inside CRM Deals in Smartlead.

Smart Funnel lets you visualize your sales workflow using a flexible column-based board. While some columns are fixed by default, you can customize the rest to match your process.

Default (System) Columns

These are always present and can’t be deleted or moved:

  • New Lead

  • Email Sent

  • Reply Received

How to Add Custom Columns In Smart Funnel

  1. Click “Add Column” at the right end of your board

  2. Give your column a name (e.g., Interested, Demo Scheduled)

Select one or more Lead Categories from the Map Reply Category dropdown to link to this column

This ensures leads auto-sync between the column and your Master Inbox labels.

Rearranging Columns

  • You can drag and drop custom columns to change their order

  • System columns will always stay in their default position

How to Delete a Column

  1. Remove or reassign all leads from the column

Click on the column menu (•••) and select “Delete”

Note: All leads must be moved to a category to delete a column.

With this setup, you can tailor Smart Funnel to match your outreach process - no matter how simple or complex.
