Create or delete a deal

In BRIX, you can create deals manually, add them automatically using web forms and the provided API, or import them from .xlsx or .csv files. These options are described below.

Create a deal manually

To add a deal manually, do the following:

  1. Go to the Deals app and open a pipeline. In the upper right corner of the page, click + Deal. When creating a deal with this method, you can immediately link the deal to a contact person. To do that, click the magnifying glass icon in the Contacts field and select an existing contact from the list. If you want to create a new contact entry, click the + Create button to the right of the field and specify the contact’s name, position, phone number, email, Skype, etc.

When you create a new deal, the only required field is Name. By default, the user who creates the deal is specified in the Assigned to field. You can change the responsible user and add other information later on the deal’s page.

Create a deal using the API

Each deal is an item of the Deals app. Using the API, you can add new items into a pipeline. You can find the request parameters in the Create app item article. Read more about the web API in BRIX Public API.

Create a deal using a web form

In BRIX, you can set up custom web forms from scratch and place them on any page of your website. After a visitor fills out the form, the system automatically sends the data into the CRM workspace and creates a new deal. Learn more about creating web forms in the Web forms article.

Import deals from a file

You can quickly add a large amount of data to BRIX apps by importing it from .xlsx or .csv files. For example, you can import deals from one company to another.

To start the import, go to CRM > Deals. In the upper right corner of the page, click the three-vert-dots-icon icon and select Data Import.

In the window that opens, select an .xlsx or a .csv file from your PC. You can also use a file uploaded to the system. To do that, click the three dots icon on the right and then click Select from the Files Workspace. When you choose a file, click Import.

Read more about uploading data to the system in the Data import article.
