What is SiftLine?
SiftLine is a Kanban-style board system that helps you visually manage your deal flows and pipelines. With SiftLine, you can create fully customizable boards for Lead Management, Acquisitions, Transactions, and your exit strategies (wholesale, flips, rentals).
SiftLine events are also included in Sequences, allowing you to automate your workflows. For example, you can create a sequence that automatically adds a record to your lead management board and creates a follow-up taks when a property's status changes to New Lead.
To get started, click SiftLine in the left sidebar of your account.
Note: While SiftLine is fully customizable, it is designed for managing records AFTER they become leads and for handling exit strategies. It is NOT intended for prospecting or managing a large volume of records. If you are cold calling or prospecting, we recommend managing from the Records page with custom filter presets. Once a record becomes a lead, you can move it to SiftLine.
Board Management & Permissions
The number of boards you can create depends on your plan:
Essentials Plan - up to 3

There are three permission levels you can assign to control access to your board.
Just Read: View-only access for team members.
Read & Write: Allows users to view cards, add, delete, and move cards through phases.
