Track collectors, leads, and relationships.

CRM

The CRM (Customer Relationship Management) module helps artists and galleries track collectors, leads, and outreach — branded as Opportunities & Relationships.

Access

Navigate to CRM (/portal/or) from the Toolbox. Access requires:

  • Artist account (or gallery team member with CRM permission)
  • Active subscription

Kanban board

The CRM uses a kanban-style board with stages:

StagePurpose
LeadNew contacts and initial interest
ContactedOutreach sent, awaiting response
EngagedActive conversation or relationship
CollectorConfirmed collector or buyer
ArchivedClosed or inactive

Drag cards between stages to update status.

Adding leads

Create leads manually from the CRM panel:

  1. Click Add lead.
  2. Enter name, email, notes, and source.
  3. The lead appears in the Lead column.

Leads can also originate from site contact forms and certificate interactions.

Lead details

Click any card to view and edit:

  • Contact information
  • Notes and activity history
  • Linked artworks or exhibitions
  • Tags and priority

CRM team access

Gallery owners can grant CRM access to team members. CRM data is scoped to the artist or gallery profile you're operating under.

Mailing list integration

CRM contacts sync with the Mailing list module. Export contacts for email campaigns or manage them from /mailing-list.

Use the contact search API (in-app) to find existing CRM contacts when composing emails or linking to artworks.
