Pipeline Alternative? Notion Integration?

OK, since FluentCRM still isn't prioritizing sales pipeline (even though it was promised as a priority improvement in the first month of its existence), what workarounds/other solutions do you use for pipeline? I see within Notion, I can create some sales pipeline capabilities – is there a way to integrate FluentCRM & Notion, or FluentCRM and some OTHER plugin, used for pipeline activities?

For those who wonder what "Sales Pipeline" means, here's a brief:

What a “Sales Pipeline” Is (Plain English)

A sales pipeline is just a simple visual way to track where someone is on their path from interested → hired/purchased.

It helps you see who needs attention, who’s ready to move forward, and what to do next.

Typical Sales Pipeline Features in CRMs (with Benefits)

• Drag-and-Drop Stages

  Move people through steps like New Lead → Discovery Call → Follow-Up → Closed.

  Benefit: You instantly see progress and what’s stuck.

• Custom Views (List, Kanban, Table, Timeline)

  Filter or sort your pipeline by things like Last Contacted, Next Action, Lead Source, Value, or Status.

  Benefit: You can instantly spot who needs a follow-up, who’s gone quiet, and where your attention should go.

• “Last Contacted” & “Next Contact Due” Sorting

  Highlight leads that haven’t been touched in a while, or surface only the contacts due today.

  Benefit: Helps you keep communication consistent and prevents forgotten leads.

• Alerts, Reminders & Notifications

  Set a reminder like “Follow up with Jane in 3 days” or get an alert when someone opens your email, fills out a form, or moves to a new stage.

  Benefit: You stay perfectly on top of your pipeline without needing a superhuman memory.

• Automated Follow-Ups

  Trigger emails, tasks, texts, or internal notes automatically when someone enters a stage or goes silent for X days.

  Benefit: Keeps your outreach steady and saves a ton of time.

  Log calls, add notes, assign tasks, attach documents, or record next steps.

  Benefit: Everything lives in one place so you’re never scrambling to remember what happened last.

  Benefit: Nothing gets forced into a one-size-fits-all system.
