Unattended leads report¶
Unattended leads are leads that have scheduled activities that are either due or past due. Whenever an activity is scheduled, Odoo tracks the due date, and sends email reminders to the users the activity is assigned to.
An unattended leads report compiles all active leads in the pipeline with due or past due activities, allowing a sales manager to identify which opportunities require immediate attention.
By pulling a daily unattended leads report, sales managers can remind their teams to address outstanding activities before they become past due, helping avoid neglected leads and reinforcing proactive behaviors in their salespeople.
Example
A sales manager starts their day by pulling an unattended leads report, and upon switching to list view, they see the following:
Their team member, Mitchell, has two leads in the Proposition stage with activities that are due.
The yellow 📞 (phone) icon indicates that the Modern Open Space
lead has a phone
call activity scheduled for today. The red ✉️ (envelope) icon indicates that the 5 VP
Chairs
lead has an email activity scheduled that is past due.
Clicking on the 5 VP Chairs
lead, the sales manager opens the record of the lead and reviews the
chatter. They see that the email was scheduled to be sent two days ago, but Mitchell never marked
this activity as done.
Important
In order to pull a unattended leads report, sales teams must be regularly utilizing activity in the CRM pipeline, on individual lead and opportunity cards.
It is not possible to compile a complete report if the sales people are not using the Activities feature in the chatter
