What Is an Event?

An Event is a scheduled sales appointment linked to a Deal. Sales events help you keep track of estimates, meetings, or any other scheduled activity.

Each Event includes details like:

  • Type of sales event (e.g., estimate, follow-up, meeting)

  • Assigned estimator or team member

  • Date, time, and duration

  • Location

  • Description for notes

Think of sales events as your way to organize and visualize your team’s schedule β€” whether in a calendar, list, or map view.
