Pink PostDeal pipeline
A deal pipeline built for link deals
Pink Post's deal pipeline tracks every link opportunity from first contact to a live link, on a board with six stages: New, Contacted, Replied, Negotiating, Deal done and Link live. Each deal stores the site, the agreed price and the link status, so you always know what you paid and what is live.
Why it matters
See every opportunity from first contact to live link, with money attached.
A board with six stages: New, Contacted, Replied, Negotiating, Deal done, Link live. Each card stores price, the page URL where your link lives, your target URL, link date and notes. Column totals show the deal value per stage.

Under the hood
How it works
Stages that move themselves
When a prospect is emailed the deal moves to Contacted; when they reply it moves to Replied. You drag it to Negotiating, Deal done and Link live as the conversation progresses.
Price per deal
Each deal has a price field. Analytics totals what you spent and divides it by live links, giving your cost per link per campaign.
Link status
Deals marked Link live get a link_status of live, missing or error, updated by the scheduled link check.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Stages | New → Contacted → Replied → Negotiating → Deal done → Link live |
| Fields per deal | Prospect, site, campaign, price, published URL, link status, notes |
| Automatic moves | Contacted on send, Replied on reply |
| Link status values | live, missing, error |

Tip 1
Record the agreed price as soon as it is mentioned so the Negotiating total stays honest.
In a campaign
Where deal pipeline fits in link building outreach
Pink Post runs a link building campaign in seven steps, from prospect list to a live link that keeps being checked. Here is where this feature does its work.
- Step 1
Import prospects
Upload a CSV, Excel file or Google Sheet of sites and contacts; Pink Post dedupes, blocklists and verifies them.
- Step 2
Pick a playbook
Start from a guest post, link insertion, broken link, resource page, skyscraper or partnership template.
- Step 3
Write the sequence
Edit the pitch and one or two follow-ups with conditions, placeholders and spintax; test subjects with A/B variants.
- Step 4
Send safely
Emails go out at a safe pace with rotation, warm-up, limits and DNS checks.
- Step 5
Handle replies
Replies land in one inbox with labels; follow-ups stop on reply.
- Step 6 · this feature
Close the deal
Move the deal to Negotiating and Deal done with the agreed price.
- Step 7
Keep the link
Mark it Link live and let Pink Post re-check the page.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can I change the stages?
The six stages are fixed so reports stay consistent across campaigns; use notes and labels for extra detail.
Does the pipeline work for paid and free links?
Yes. Leave the price at 0 for free placements; cost-per-link reports include both.
Can several teammates use the same pipeline?
Yes. Everyone in the workspace sees the same board.
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook mailboxes?
Yes. Pink Post works the same with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Zoho, Hostinger and any SMTP/IMAP mailbox you connect.
Is deal pipeline on the free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes it; plans differ by mailboxes, prospects, emails per month, users and live link checks. Free has 1 mailbox and 300 emails a month, Solo $19 has 3 mailboxes, Pro $39 has 10 and Agency $129 has 30.
How is deal pipeline different from a cold email tool?
Cold email tools are designed for sales pipelines. In Pink Post every feature feeds a link deal: replies move deals, deals hold prices, and live links keep being checked, so the result of the campaign is a list of live links with their cost.
