Fundamentals

Sales pipeline

How does Sellio's sales pipeline work?

It's a visual kanban funnel: you drag deals between stages and track total and probability-weighted value in real time.

Can I create more than one funnel?

Yes, you can have several funnels by deal type, such as new business, expansion and renewal, each with its own stages and probabilities.

How is the forecast calculated?

Each stage's value is weighted by its close probability, and Sellio automatically computes the Commit and Best case forecast for the period.

What are stage gates?

They are exit conditions that prevent a deal from advancing without meeting requirements, such as required activities or discount approval.

Can I edit values directly in the funnel?

Yes, you can edit values inline and drag cards between stages with the mouse.

How do I record why I won or lost a deal?

When you mark a deal won or lost, you enter a reason that feeds the win/loss analysis.

Is the sales pipeline free?

Yes. It's free, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 a month.

How do I get started with the pipeline?

Just create a funnel, add the stages of your sales process, and start dragging deals between them.

Can I see how far I am from hitting the period's target?

Yes, the funnel shows the forecast, the gap to target and pipeline coverage in real time.

No-code platform

What is Sellio's no-code platform?

It's the interface layer that lets you create objects, fields and business rules by dragging and clicking, with no coding required.

How many field types are available?

There are 18 field types, enough to model almost any object your business needs.

Do I need a developer to create a new object?

No. Anyone on the team creates custom objects and fields right in the interface, with no IT and no developer to hire.

What are the ready-made field components?

They're pre-built field groups, like Address, Social, Financial and UTM, that you add to any object with one click.

Can I build formulas and calculations without coding?

Yes. Formulas, rollups and computed fields are built visually, with no developer needed.

Does a model change require a deploy?

No. Logic lives in versioned data, so changes ship with no deploy and no waiting on a development cycle.

How do I move a configuration from test to production?

You export the configuration from one environment and import it into another, additively and idempotently, with no rework.

Is the no-code platform free?

Yes. It's free, and you only pay infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Yes. You reorder, hide and organize fields in detail layouts however fits your process.

Contacts and companies

What does this module actually manage?

Contacts, companies, leads and corporate groups in a single base, with full history per record.

How does deduplication work?

The system detects duplicate records automatically and lets you merge them, preserving everyone's history.

What happens to the history when I merge two duplicate records?

Merging unites the duplicates into a single record without losing any activities, emails or deals from either one.

Can I model a company's hierarchy with headquarters and branches?

Yes. Account hierarchy connects headquarters, branches and subsidiaries so you see the whole relationship.

What is the stakeholder map for?

It reveals influencers, sponsors and blockers on each contact, helping you understand who actually decides.

Does the system flag missing or inconsistent data?

Is everything gathered in one place, including emails and deals?

Yes. Each contact and company has a unified timeline with activities, emails, attachments, deals and tickets.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Do I need to set anything up to get started?

No. Contacts, companies and leads are ready to use out of the box; deduplication and hierarchy work on the data you enter.

Activities and productivity

What counts as an activity in the CRM?

Calls, emails, meetings and tasks logged on each deal or contact, always in the right context.

How do the due-date reminders work?

A daily sweep alerts the owner about tasks coming due and scheduled follow-ups.

Do activities get tied to the right record automatically?

Yes. Each activity is attached to the contact or deal, nothing loose.

You upload a spreadsheet for the object you choose and the records are created automatically, no manual retyping.

Which objects can I import into?

Any object works, contacts, deals, or custom objects all use the same import flow.

Does it catch duplicate records?

Yes, deduplication runs right at import time, blocking repeats before they reach your database.

Do I need a special file format?

No, an ordinary spreadsheet with no proprietary format is enough to populate the system.

Intelligence

Predictive AI

How does predictive AI calculate the win probability of an opportunity?

It learns from your own CRM history of won and lost deals and points to the factors that weigh most for and against each open opportunity.

Is my data sent to an external AI provider?

No. Predictive AI runs locally and no information is sent to third parties.

Does this have an LLM cost?

No, it does not use an LLM, so there is no such cost. The platform is free to use and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

How does the churn risk prediction work?

The model estimates each active account's chance of canceling, using signals like account health and renewal status.

What is anomaly detection?

A rep ranking points to whoever is most likely to convert each lead, helping distribute leads automatically.

Does the sales forecast use this predicted probability?

Yes, the forecast is weighted by the real predicted probability of each opportunity, not a generic estimate.

Is it a generic model or trained on my own data?

It is trained on your own history of won and lost deals, not a generic market model.

Is it included in the free plan?

Yes. The platform is free to use; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Sellio AI Assistant

How does the AI Assistant work in practice?

You describe what you want in plain English and it performs the action inside the CRM, like creating records, building campaigns or updating deals in bulk.

Do I need to learn special commands to use it?

No. Just ask in natural language, the way you would ask a person, and the Assistant understands and executes.

Is the Assistant included in the free plan?

The CRM stays free, but the AI Assistant is a premium feature billed by usage, turned on separately.

How is usage of the Assistant billed?

You pay only for what you consume, on demand, with no fixed subscription for this feature.

What can the Assistant do inside the CRM?

It creates records, builds email campaigns, sets up automations, updates many deals at once and answers questions about your book of business.

Does it understand my custom fields and business rules?

Yes, the Assistant understands the objects, fields and business rules configured in your CRM.

Does the Assistant write emails for me?

Yes, it drafts emails, sequences and replies ready to review and send, in each contact's language.

Can I ask for a quick summary of a customer or deal?

Yes, just ask for a summary and the Assistant delivers the essentials by querying your own data.

How do I turn on the AI Assistant on my account?

You turn it on whenever you like since it's a premium pay-as-you-go feature, then start asking for actions in natural language inside the CRM.

No-code AI agents

Can the agent see data I can't?

No. Each agent inherits the permissions of whoever created it, so it never sees or changes anything beyond what that person already could.

Can I stop it from acting alone on important things?

Yes. You require human approval before any sensitive action, so the agent only acts on its own on what's safe.

Do I need to know how to code to create an agent?

No. You describe the agent's goal in plain language, and anyone on the team can build one.

How do I choose what the agent can do?

You pick exactly which actions the agent can use, like creating records, updating fields, sending email or moving stages, and nothing else.

Can an agent triage new leads on its own?

Yes. An agent can read each new lead, fill in missing fields, sort by profile, and route it to the right rep.

Can the agent draft a follow-up and wait for my approval?

Yes. The agent watches stalled deals, drafts the next touch, and, if you require it, waits for your approval before sending.

Can only the technical team build an agent?

No. Anyone on the team creates an agent, not just the people who understand technology.

Does the agent work even outside business hours?

Yes, the lead triage example shows the agent working while the team sleeps.

Can I set different approval requirements per action?

Yes. You decide which actions need human approval and which the agent runs on its own because they're safe.

Generative AI

Does the AI make up the answers?

No. Every answer is validated against your own data base, reflecting real reality, not a generic guess.

Do I need to know how to build a report to use it?

No. Just describe what you want to see in one sentence and the AI builds the chart, report or board ready to use.

Can I create a project board just by describing what I need?

Yes. Describe the launch and the AI builds the board with phases, tasks and owners.

How does asking your data work?

You ask in plain language, like how much we sold or which region grew, and the AI answers with numbers pulled from your real base.

Does the AI also generate images for marketing?

Yes. The same AI creates images from a prompt, without leaving the CRM.

Does the AI deliver a suggestion or the finished artifact?

It delivers the finished artifact, like the chart or board already built, not just a suggestion for you to execute.

After the AI generates something, can I adjust it manually?

Yes. You start from the finished result and tweak whatever you want from there.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Can I use this to prepare something quickly before a meeting?

Yes. You ask for the chart or report you need and the AI delivers it ready, with the right numbers, minutes before the meeting.

AI meeting notes

Do I have to type the notes afterward?

No, the AI transcribes, summarizes and organizes everything while you talk.

Do the next steps become tasks?

Yes, every agreement becomes a trackable next step, with nobody having to write the minutes.

How does the meeting transcription work?

The AI listens to the call or meeting and transcribes the conversation automatically.

Does the AI suggest updating the deal fields on its own?

Yes, it spots what changed, like a new value or next stage, and suggests updating the fields.

Do I need to confirm the suggestions before they take effect?

Yes, you review and confirm with one click; nothing changes without that confirmation.

Where are the summary and transcript kept?

Inside the record, in the deal's context, alongside the next steps.

Which record fields can the AI suggest filling in?

Deal value, next stage and follow-up date, among other things agreed in the conversation.

Does it work for both external calls and internal meetings?

Yes, for both a discovery call with the customer and an internal status meeting.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. Sellio is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

AI document extraction

What kind of document can the AI read?

Images, invoices and receipts.

Do I have to blindly trust what the AI extracted?

No, the AI presents what it read for you to review, confirm or adjust before saving to the record.

What information does the AI extract from a document?

Vendor, total, date and line items, in structured fields.

Does the extracted data go automatically into the record fields?

Yes, after your review, the data goes straight into the record fields.

Does this fully replace manual typing?

It replaces most of it: transcription becomes a review step instead of typing from scratch.

What technology makes this possible?

Optical recognition (OCR) doing the document reading.

Can I use this for expense reimbursement?

Yes, the team photographs the receipt and the AI extracts vendor, total and date ready to log.

What about entering data from a vendor invoice?

Yes, the invoice becomes structured vendor, items and values on the record.

Does this reduce typing errors?

Yes, since the AI reads and structures the data, fewer typos enter your CRM.

Sales & CPQ

Targets and performance

How does setting targets per rep work?

You set a target per person and per period, and the cockpit tracks how much has been sold against that target.

What are the Commit and Best case forecasts?

Commit is the committed forecast (what should close) and Best case is the best-case scenario; together they show the floor and the ceiling to plan with realism.

How do I know if I'll hit the target before the period ends?

The cockpit shows the gap to target and pipeline coverage, revealing whether the current pipeline supports the close.

What is pipeline coverage?

It's the relationship between the open value in the funnel and what's left to reach the target, along with per-deal risk.

Can I compare performance across different periods?

Yes, the side-by-side comparison lets you track the team's progress period over period.

How does the team ranking work?

It compares every rep's performance and creates healthy visibility that pulls results upward.

Does it help prepare 1:1 meetings with the team?

Yes, the target, gap and forecast numbers become the concrete basis for the coaching conversation and action plan.

Do I need any special setup to get started?

Just set the targets per person and per period; the cockpit calculates the rest from the deals already in the CRM.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Quotes and CPQ

What is CPQ in Sellio?

It's configuring, pricing and quoting products with tiered pricing rules, variants and discount approval built into the sales process.

How does tiered pricing by quantity work?

Tiered pricing rules build the price automatically based on quantity, with no manual calculation.

Can I see the margin before closing the quote?

Yes, the estimated margin is computed on the opportunity item and appears as you build the quote.

How does discount approval work?

Discounts above the set limit trigger a required approval before the stage can advance.

Are there ready-made quote templates?

Yes, you build the quote from templates, with send and accept by the customer.

Do taxes and discounts flow into the total automatically?

Yes, they enter as fields and make up the final total the customer sees.

Does CPQ work for products with many configurations?

Yes, product variants assemble the right combination with no risk of mispricing.

Is Quotes and CPQ free?

Yes. It's free, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 a month.

Who approves a discount outside policy?

Approval is triggered by rule and value, routing the request to whoever has the authority to decide.

Multi-level approvals

How does a multi-level approval chain work?

You define approvers by rule and value band, and the request escalates automatically level by level until it reaches whoever has authority.

Does the system notify the next approver on its own?

Yes. Each step automatically notifies the right approver, with no need to forward it manually.

Can I set approvers by role instead of by person?

Yes. Approvers can be defined by user or by role, and the chain stays valid even as the team changes.

What happens if the approver is on vacation?

With approvers defined by role, the request goes to whoever holds that role at the time, without stalling.

Can approval decisions be edited afterward?

No. The decision log is append-only and immutable, keeping who approved, when and at what level.

Does this help with an audit?

Yes. The immutable trail shows every decision with author, date and level, ready for whenever an audit asks for the history.

Can I have different rules for different value ranges?

Yes. Approval chains trigger by value or by rule, so each request automatically takes the right route.

Is the rule applied always the latest one, even for old requests?

No. Policies are versioned by effective date, so each approval uses the rule that was in force at that time.

Does this stop requests from sitting idle waiting for someone to notice?

Yes. Automatic per-level notifications cut the bottleneck of requests forgotten in an inbox.

Territories, channels and commissions

How does territory planning work?

You define territories with quota and coverage, distributing accounts among reps with no overlap.

What are sales plays and ABM here?

They are moves aimed at specific target accounts, with a planned approach instead of generic effort.

How does commission split guarantee the sum adds up correctly?

Commission split sums to exactly 100% to the cent, with no cent lost and no dispute across the team.

Can I assign an opportunity to a channel partner?

Yes. You can assign the opportunity to a partner and calculate channel commission automatically.

How are quotas set per territory?

Quotas are set based on each territory's real potential, not one flat number for everyone.

Can playbooks change per rep and over time?

Yes. Playbooks are versionable and can be defined per rep.

Does it help reorganize the sales force without causing conflict?

Yes. Territory planning redistributes accounts and quotas with balance, avoiding two reps at the same door.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

How is a deal closed by two reps handled?

Commission split shares the credit between both in exact sums, with no argument afterward.

Public scheduling and meetings

What is the public scheduling link?

A signed link you share so the customer can pick a time themselves, with no email back-and-forth.

Do I need a paid external tool to schedule meetings?

No. Scheduling happens directly through the Sellio link, without a paid external tool.

Does the booked meeting automatically become a CRM activity?

Yes. Each booking creates an activity on the right record, with no double entry.

Is the scheduling link secure?

Yes. It's signed, which ensures only legitimate bookings land on your calendar.

What is AI meeting prep?

Before the meeting, the AI summarizes the history and suggests goal, context and discovery questions.

Do I need to prepare for the meeting manually beforehand?

No. The AI summary delivers history and agenda ready before the meeting starts.

Does this reduce meetings that never happen?

Yes. Removing scheduling friction raises the rate of meetings that actually get booked.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. Sellio is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Does every booked meeting stay linked to the right contact or deal?

Yes, each booking becomes a logged activity, with no reliance on anyone's memory.

Commissions

Is the commission calculated on its own?

Yes, it comes automatically from won deals, with no spreadsheet typing.

Can the rep see how the amount was reached?

Yes, the statement shows which deals came in, which rule applied and how much it earned.

Can I have different percentages per product?

Yes, higher-margin products can pay a higher percentage, applied automatically in the calculation.

How do commission tiers by quota work?

The plan defines percentages that rise as quota is hit, and the system applies the right tier to each sale.

Does changing a plan mess up commissions already calculated?

No, the rules are versioned, so plans change without affecting what was already calculated before.

Do I need to keep a side spreadsheet?

No, the whole point is to end the side spreadsheet and the closing rework.

Does this reduce month-end arguments?

Yes, since the system applies the rules, calculation mismatches and the month-end fight go away.

Does each rep see everyone's statement or just their own?

Each rep sees only their own statement, with transparency about the logic applied to them.

Do I need a complex setup to get started?

You define the commission plans (percentages, tiers, rules) once, and the system calculates on its own from the won deals.

Customer invoices

Do I have to build the invoice from scratch?

No, the invoice is born straight from an approved quote, with no retyping items and values.

Can I know what's overdue?

Yes, overdue invoices show up highlighted so you collect at the right time.

How do I record a payment received?

You record the payment right on the invoice and the open balance updates automatically.

Is the invoice tied to the deal it came from?

Yes, invoice, payment and deal live in the same place, tied to the customer.

Does this replace a collection spreadsheet?

Yes, collection stops living in a separate spreadsheet, you know who paid and who's missing right in the CRM.

Can I see how much cash already came in and what's still pending?

Yes, recording payments and balances shows what already came in and what is still to come.

How do I collect from a late customer?

Overdue invoices show up highlighted and you fire the right reminder to each late customer.

Is there an extra cost to issue customer invoices?

It's free. You only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 a month.

How long does it take to issue the invoice after the quote is approved?

Just a few clicks, as soon as the quote is approved you can issue the invoice right away.

Inventory and stock

Is stock tied to the CRM products?

Yes. The stock balance lives alongside the products and quotes that already exist in your CRM.

Will I know when to restock?

Yes. A low-stock alert warns when a product nears its limit, before it runs out.

How is a product's balance updated?

Every in and out movement is recorded, and the balance rises and falls automatically as they happen.

Can the rep see stock before closing a quote?

Yes. Each product's balance is visible to whoever sells, so nobody promises what already ran out.

Can I tell where a stock item came from or went?

Yes. In and out movements are recorded and show the full history.

Does this stop selling a product that's already at zero?

Yes. Before closing the quote, the rep checks the balance and avoids promising an item that already ran out.

Does operations know when to buy more of an item?

Yes. The low-stock alert fires and operations restock before the product hits zero.

Is inventory control a separate module from the CRM?

No. It's tied to the products that already live in the CRM, alongside sales and quotes.

Does this reduce promises operations can't keep?

Yes. With the balance in sight, the rep only offers what operations can actually deliver.

Marketing

Email and nurturing

How does the email editor work?

It's a visual block editor: you build the email by dragging ready-made blocks and it generates responsive HTML, no code needed.

What are the automatic journeys and sequences?

Cadences that advance on their own as the contact opens, clicks or stays quiet, nurturing the lead with no manual work.

How does smart content by profile work?

Within the same send, different blocks show for each segment, so every lead gets the message that fits their moment.

Yes, preferences are granular, so each contact controls what they receive.

Is marketing integrated with sales?

Yes, marketing and sales live on the same base, no separate integration needed.

Do I need to know how to code to build the emails?

No. The editor is visual, block-based, and generates the HTML on its own.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. It's free and you only pay infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Capture and web tracking

What can I build with this feature?

Internal landing pages plus embeddable forms and pop-ups that all create leads automatically.

Do form submissions turn into CRM leads automatically?

Yes, every landing page, form or pop-up submission becomes a lead in the CRM with no manual entry.

Do I need an external form plugin?

No, landing pages and forms are built and published right inside the platform.

How are new leads distributed to reps?

Through round-robin, so new leads are split fairly across the team and nobody gets overloaded.

Does it track the campaign or channel a lead came from?

Yes, every lead arrives tagged with UTM, campaign and source so you can measure real ROI.

Can I see what pages a visitor browsed before converting?

Yes, web tracking shows the pages visited before conversion, giving context on their real interest.

No, landing pages and forms are published directly from the platform, no code required.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes, the product is free to use, you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 a month.

Can I use it to measure a paid media campaign?

Yes, a landing page with UTM capture records exactly which ad brought the lead, so you can measure return by campaign.

Multichannel cadences and prospecting

Do I need another prospecting tool to run cadences?

No. The CRM is already the destination: the reply, the task and the history land on the record with no sync to another tool.

What happens when the lead replies mid-cadence?

The cadence automatically pauses that contact, so you never keep chasing someone who already answered.

How do I avoid approaching the same person twice?

Importing by list, segment or filter from the CRM comes with built-in deduplication.

Which channels can I combine in the same cadence?

Email, WhatsApp, SMS, a task for the rep and a webhook, all in the same flow.

Do I need to switch platforms to add a new channel?

No. The base is channel-agnostic, so adding WhatsApp, SMS or a webhook is just picking a step.

How do I import leads into the cadence?

Straight from the CRM itself, by list, segment or filter, with no spreadsheet in between.

Can I track what stage each lead is in?

Yes, every lead shows up in the cadence with a visible status and stage.

Does the automatic pause help protect my sender reputation?

Yes, pulling out whoever already replied avoids repeated messages and protects the relationship and your reputation.

Does it work to re-engage leads that went cold?

Yes, a filter brings back stalled leads and the cadence can reopen the conversation through another channel, like SMS.

Customer success

Customer success

What is the health score and how is it calculated?

It's a score combining activity, NPS and renewal for each account, showing in seconds who is doing well and who needs attention.

How do churn and low-adoption alerts work?

The platform warns when an account's usage drops or it cools off, before it cancels, so the team can act while there is still time.

Do contracts renew on their own or do I need to remember manually?

Recurring contracts with a term warn the owner and renew automatically in the next period, with no manual reminder needed.

Yes, reusable checklists guide the activation of every new customer through the first weeks.

Can I run QBRs right inside the CRM?

Yes, account plans pull together goals, usage and next steps for quarterly reviews right inside the account.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes, it's part of the CRM, which is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

How does the CS team use the health score day to day?

They check each account's score to prioritize whoever needs attention before it turns into a cancellation.

Does this help prevent cancellations or just record them afterward?

It helps prevent them: the low-adoption alert fires in time for the team to reverse the risk before renewal.

Can I track contracts and account plans in one place?

Yes, contracts, onboarding, QBRs and account plans stay organized right inside the customer's account.

Help desk and tickets

Do I need another help desk tool?

No. Support runs in the same system as the CRM, with the agent seeing deals, contracts and customer history without switching tabs.

Does the SLA count outside business hours?

No, the SLA clock only runs during work hours and warns before it breaches.

Does the AI reply for me?

It doesn't replace the agent; the AI panel classifies the topic, reads sentiment, shows similar tickets and suggests articles to speed up the reply.

How does the three-panel console work?

On the left are saved views with a counter, in the center the queue with search and bulk actions, and on the right the customer context with SLA and AI.

Can I handle a bigger incident and export reports?

Yes, related tickets group into an incident with a public status page, and you export reports to PDF and XLSX.

How does a customer email automatically become a ticket?

The incoming message becomes a ticket on its own and routing sends the topic to the right team, with no manual work.

What do event-based and time-based automations do?

They reassign, prioritize and escalate tickets on their own, keeping the queue moving without the agent having to organize it.

Is there a customer satisfaction survey?

Yes, CSAT measures how the service went as soon as the ticket is closed.

Does this reduce the volume of incoming tickets?

Yes, the public help center answers common questions before they even become tickets, lightening the queue.

Customer portal and public KB

What is Sellio's customer portal?

It's a self-service portal accessed via a secure link, where the customer tracks their tickets with no login required.

Do I pay for each external customer who accesses the portal?

No, the portal and knowledge base have no per-external-user cost, you only pay for infrastructure.

How does the signed link work?

It's a secure HMAC link that grants portal access without requiring the customer to sign up or use a password.

What is the public knowledge base?

It's published articles that answer common questions, so customers can help themselves any time of day.

How does ticket SLA work?

Tickets have category, priority and a response deadline, ensuring critical cases are handled within the agreed time.

Yes. Points and tiers live alongside the customer history, inside the CRM itself.

Does it work for B2B and B2C?

Yes, the program applies to both B2B and B2C relationships.

How does the customer earn points?

Per purchase or per customer action, according to the rules you set.

What makes a customer move up a tier?

Tiers progress based on the customer's engagement with the brand.

Collaboration

Work management and projects

Does this replace a dedicated project tool?

Not necessarily, but since Sellio already brings boards, kanban, Gantt, calendar, workload and per-board permissions, many teams stop needing a separate project app.

Can I see only my tasks across every board?

Yes. Saved filters and the "My work" view gather everything that's yours, from every board, into one list.

Can I control who sees each board?

Yes. Per-board permissions let each team see and edit only what's theirs, even on the same base.

What does project AI do?

It generates a plan that becomes a ready-made board, predicts delay risk and priority, writes the executive summary, and acts as an agent with human approval before touching real work.

What views are available besides kanban?

Table, kanban, timeline (Gantt), calendar, team workload and dashboard, all looking at the same underlying data.

Can a project start directly from a closed deal?

Yes. When the deal is won, the rollout project opens in the same system, already linked to the customer, contract and conversations.

Can I see dependencies between tasks?

Yes. The timeline shows dependencies and the critical path, revealing what slips if one step slides.

How do I spot who's overloaded on the team?

The workload view shows who has too many tasks and who has room, so you can redistribute before the bottleneck.

No. Project AI proposes and executes steps as an agent, but always with human approval before touching real work.

Time tracking and timesheets

Can I log hours without using the timer?

Yes. You can start the timer when you begin the task or enter the hours manually later, whichever you prefer.

How do I separate what I can charge the customer?

Just mark the hours as billable; the rest stays visible but out of the bill.

Do the hours go through any kind of approval?

Is time logging linked to projects and tasks?

Yes. The timesheet lives inside your projects, so each hour is born linked to the task, the customer and the project.

Can I track if a project is going over budget?

Yes. Budget against actuals shows in real time when hours pass what was agreed.

What reports exist on logged hours?

Reports show hours by person, customer and project, ready for CSV export.

Can I export the hours data to use in another system?

Yes. CSV export takes the hours data wherever you need it.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

How does this help bill customers by the hour?

Hours marked billable and already approved become directly the basis for the period's charge.

OKRs and goals

How is this different from sales goals?

OKRs cover company, team and person objectives with numeric key results, going beyond a single sales target, and live in the same system as the CRM and projects.

Does progress really update on its own?

Can I set targets that reduce a number?

Yes, key results accept targets to grow or to reduce, like cutting churn.

What objective levels exist?

Company, team and person objectives, organized in a hierarchy within a period.

What types of key result can I use?

Number, percentage, currency or a completed milestone (boolean), each with a target to grow or to reduce.

How does the confidence check-in work?

The owner logs the current number and the confidence level, so the data comes with context, not just a percentage.

How is objective health calculated?

From progress against the pace expected in the period, becoming on-track, at-risk or off-track.

Do I need to set a period for each objective?

Yes, every company, team or person objective lives within a defined period.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. Sellio is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Collaboration and projects

How does the collaborative kanban board work?

You visualize work on boards and move cards across stages with the whole team, and everyone sees the status in real time.

Do mentions work across any object, like deals and accounts?

Yes, comments and @mentions work per record, whether it's a deal, account or task.

Gamification

Does gamification use goals separate from the ones I already have?

No, points come from the same goals you already track, not a made-up parallel scoreboard.

Do I have to add up points manually?

No, the scheduler tallies everything automatically and updates the board on its own.

How do trophies and badges work?

They're handed out for every achievement, with a notification the instant the user earns one.

When does the achievement notification arrive?

The moment the trophy is unlocked, not at the end of the month.

Where do I see the team scoreboard?

In a per-user scoreboard showing who's ahead by points, achievements and goals hit.

Is this a separate paid module?

Are points kept in a per-person history?

Yes, points build up in an individual ledger per person.

Does this work for the support team too, not just sales?

Does this help avoid blown deadlines?

Yes, planning by real capacity reduces the surprise of a blown deadline.

Field service

Can I see every technician's schedule?

Can I prove compliance to regulators or customers?

Yes, the audit trail of requests and consents delivers immediate evidence whenever you need to prove it.

Sandbox

Is the sandbox billed?

No, the sandbox doesn't count toward your bill, testing doesn't increase what you pay.

Do all sandbox changes go to production?

No, you publish only the change-set you choose, selectively.

What exactly does the sandbox clone?

It clones your tenant's configuration, metadata and data into a fully isolated environment.

If I break something in the sandbox, does it affect production?

No, isolation is by design, nothing from the sandbox leaks into production.

How does selective publishing work?

You choose exactly which approved changes go up as a change-set, instead of pushing everything at once.

Can I test a risky automation before turning it on for real?

Does each user choose their own way to sign in?

Yes, whoever likes the password keeps it, and whoever prefers convenience uses the magic link.

Is this useful for signing in from a phone?

Yes, out in the field the person gets the link in their email and signs in without typing a password on the small screen.

Can a newly invited user also sign in through the magic link?

The CRM keeps working normally and the automation resumes, since webhooks run best-effort with re-delivery.

Zapier, Make and n8n already have a ready-made connection with Sellio.

How does the CRM tell other systems something happened?

Webhooks fire when something happens in the CRM, like a new opportunity, contact or stage change.

Yes. The REST API lets external systems create and update records in the CRM, like website forms or e-commerce orders.

Are my API keys exposed on screen?

No. API keys and tokens stay in a vault and never appear in the interface.

Does this lock me into a single automation platform?

No. Webhooks and the REST API follow market standards, so there's no lock-in to a single tool.

Yes. You connect the CRM to chat, email marketing, spreadsheets, ERPs and whatever else your operation uses, via Zapier, Make or n8n.

Is the automation account mine or Sellio's?

No. The connector is free; the only cost is your own Twilio account.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month, plus whatever Twilio charges for sending.

Data Enrichment

Can I use any data provider?

Yes, the connector is generic; you use the data provider that already fits your business.

Industry, size, job title, website and location for companies and contacts.

Can I enrich a single record or also in batch?

Both: you can enrich one record on demand or entire batches at once.

Do I need to provide my own provider API key?

What happens if the provider doesn't respond?

Enrichment runs best-effort: if the provider fails, the record stays usable and nothing blocks.

Do I need to pay for this feature?

Enrichment is part of Sellio, which is free (infrastructure usage above US$20 per month is paid); the chosen data provider's account is separate.

Can I switch providers later?

Yes, the connector is vendor-agnostic, so you switch without rebuilding processes or losing history.

Does it work for both companies and contacts?

E-commerce (Shopify)

Do I pay anything beyond my Shopify subscription?

Where is my store's access token kept?

In an encrypted vault, never shown on screen.

Yes, the whole exchange is attached to the lead, so the next rep knows what was already asked and answered.

Is live chat included in the free plan?

Yes, it's free, you only pay for the machine, with no per-agent add-on.

Can the conversation continue outside the chat window?

Yes, what started in chat continues in the CRM, the team can follow up by email, phone or WhatsApp with full context.

Does it work with my identity provider?

Does this help with security audits?

Yes, with centralized identity the company easily proves who has access to what.

Does a new hire start with access already set up on day one?

Yes, once they join the right directory group, SCIM already creates CRM access with the proper role.

Gmail and Outlook (2-way email)

Contact sync (Google and Outlook)

Will it duplicate my contacts?

No. Sellio upserts by email: if the contact already exists, it updates; if not, it creates it, avoiding duplicates.

Is the sync one-time or ongoing?

You can re-run the sync whenever you like; periodic rounds keep contact data fresh with no manual cleanup project.

Is my data safe?

Can the automation fill fields on its own?

Yes. The "Fill field with AI" action completes information using the record's own context.

How does an email sequence know when to stop?

The instant the contact replies or moves stages, the exit condition removes them from the cadence automatically.

Can it re-engage leads that went cold?

Yes. The flow detects the stall and kicks off a re-engagement sequence, shifting the message tone.

Is this level of automation billed separately?

No. This level of automation is usually locked behind a pricier tier elsewhere; on Sellio it's part of the free plan.

Can I review the whole flow at once, without opening menu after menu?

Yes. The canvas shows the full flow map on one screen, so reviewing or explaining it to the team takes minutes.

Does the automation work outside business hours?

Yes. Triggers fire at any time, for example creating the first-touch task and escalating the SLA even at 2 a.m.

REST API, MCP and webhooks

What is the native MCP server?

It's a server that connects your AI agent straight to the CRM, letting it discover objects and fields, read and write records, and push leads and contacts.

Does the REST API require authentication?

Yes. REST API v1 is authenticated by key, protecting access for any system you connect.

Is there a limit on calls per minute?

Yes. There's a per-minute rate limit with its own headers, to protect the platform and guide your retries.

Can I track how much each key is being used?

Yes. Usage metrics per key show consumption, helping you govern SLA and spot abuse.

How do my systems find out when something changes in the CRM?

Webhooks fire events in near real time, so your systems react without constantly polling the API.

Can a slow webhook block a record from saving?

No. Webhooks run best-effort and never disrupt saving in the CRM.

Does the AI agent connected via MCP have the same permissions as the API?

Yes. MCP uses the same key, rate limit and permissions (RBAC) as the REST API.

Can my AI agent push leads and contacts straight into the CRM?

Yes. Through the MCP server, the agent discovers objects and pushes leads and contacts with no integration code needed.

Can I sync the CRM with an ERP using the API?

Yes. REST API v1 exchanges accounts and orders with the ERP using a dedicated, monitored key.

Automations and rules

How do automation triggers work?

You define conditions and actions without code: on stage change, create a task; on reaching a value, require approval.

Can I schedule an action for the future, like a follow-up a few days out?

Yes. You can schedule actions for N days out, such as follow-up, renewal or nurturing.

Can a scheduled action run twice by mistake?

No. Execution is idempotent, so scheduled steps are reliable and don't duplicate by accident.

What are cross-object rules?

Rules that cross different objects to block or act based on context, applying across the whole CRM.

Can I require a valid contact before closing a deal?

Yes. A cross-object rule can prevent closing a deal without a valid contact linked to the account.

How does record scoring work?

Versioned scoring rules rank records by potential, and rule changes don't break old reports.

Do triggers fire on both creation and editing of a record?

Yes. Actions can fire on both the creation and the update of a record.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes. It is free to use, and you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Can I chain several actions in a single automation?

Yes. You can chain steps, such as assigning the lead, creating the follow-up task and scheduling a reminder, all at once.

Community and help

What is the in-product help center?

A space inside the platform that explains each feature in the context of the screen you're on.

Is the help updated when the product changes?

Yes, the help center is updated alongside every new feature.

What is the user community?

An open, Reddit-style space where users from all companies trade questions and tips.

What languages is the content available in?

Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Do I need to leave the CRM to access help?

No, the help center lives inside the platform, with no other tab to open.

Is the community global or just for my country?

It's global, connecting users worldwide to trade experiences.

Does this reduce dependence on support?

Yes, with help and community on hand, the team self-serves and leans less on support.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes. Sellio is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.

Does it help onboard an international team?

Yes, trilingual content lets teams in three languages learn the platform with no language barrier.

Guided processes

Does the process only work for the sales pipeline?

No, the same engine works for any object with a state field, contracts, tickets, projects or whatever you model.

Do I need to code to build the process?

No, you design it in a visual editor, drawing the map of stages instead of writing code.

How do I define which stage transitions are allowed?

You draw the from-to transitions and set the conditions that must be met for a record to advance.

Can I require certain fields before a record moves forward?

Yes, you set required fields per transition so a record can't pass without the right data filled in.

Can something happen automatically after a transition?

Yes, automatic actions can fire right after a transition completes.

Can I add an approval step to a transition?

Yes, an optional approval can be added to any transition where it matters.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes, a per-object process engine like this is usually an enterprise-tier feature elsewhere, here it's already included.

Can I apply this to a custom object I created?

Yes, you define the state field on your object and draw its transitions, the gating applies right away.

Is it easy to change the rules later?

Yes, since the process lives in a visual editor, changing a rule is a configuration change, not a development request.

Journeys

Are Journeys only for marketing campaigns?

No, a journey reacts to events from any module in the CRM, not just campaigns.

Do I need to learn a new tool?

No, it uses the same visual builder as the automations you already know.

Which events can trigger a journey?

Record created or edited, entering a segment, or a field changing, among others.

Can I coordinate actions across sales, marketing, support and success in the same flow?

Yes, the orchestration is cross-module, so different teams act in the same flow with no manual handoff.

Is this included in the free plan?

Yes, lifecycle orchestration usually requires a pricey separate suite, and on Sellio it's part of the free plan.

Can I design the entire customer lifecycle in one place?

Yes, everything lives on a single surface, from the first click to renewal.

Can a field change in support trigger an action from another team?

Yes, for example it can automatically fire a customer success action.

Can it start a sales sequence when a contact enters a segment?

Yes, entering a segment is one of the triggers that can start a journey.

Does this replace the automations I already use?

It doesn't replace them, it uses the same engine: a journey is automation with reach extended to events across the whole CRM.

Screen designer

Do I need to code to build the screen?

No, the designer is drag and drop, fully no-code; whoever configures the CRM builds the screen on their own.

Can I have different screens for different teams?

Yes, the layout is per profile, so sales, support and management see screens designed for their own work.

What can I place on the screen with the designer?

Fields, related lists, comments, attachments, widgets, buttons and tabs, each in the spot that makes sense.

Can I hide a block of sensitive information from certain profiles?

Yes, per-block visibility rules show or hide components by profile, without duplicating objects.

Is this feature premium or included in the CRM?

It's included; a per-profile screen designer is usually an advanced-tier feature elsewhere, here it's already in the CRM.

Do screen changes go live right away or do I need to wait for a release?

Since it's WYSIWYG, the adjustment is a matter of minutes that goes live with no release and no waiting.

Does this help when a record has dozens of fields?

Yes, the designer organizes everything into tabs and blocks, keeping the essentials at hand and tucking away the rest.

Do I see the result while I build the screen, or only after publishing?

You see it right away: it's true WYSIWYG, the screen takes shape as you drag the blocks.

Does this shorten training time for a new team?

Yes, clean, tailored screens shorten the learning curve, so the team understands the record without long training.

Action assistant

Does the assistant only show fields or does it also write?

It really reads and writes the record's fields; it's not just a form, it runs genuine composite actions.

Do I need to code to create an assistant?

No, everything is built in the visual builder, with no code.

What triggers the assistant?

A custom button or action on the record, which any user can fire.

Can it follow different paths depending on the user's answer?

Yes, the builder supports conditional branching at each stage of the flow.

Does it work for processes only a specialist knows how to do?

Yes, the assistant captures that knowledge in a guided walkthrough anyone can follow.

Isn't this usually a paid add-on module elsewhere?

It is, but on Sellio guided assistants are included.

Does it validate data during the process?

Yes, each step validates along the way and keeps wrong data from reaching the record.

Can I adjust the assistant after it's published?

Yes, since everything is built in the visual builder, adjusting it is a configuration task, not a development one.

Are there real examples of use?

Yes, like account opening with many rules, closing a complex ticket, or a step-by-step contract renewal.

Record QR code

Does any record generate a QR?

Yes, every Sellio record can generate its own QR code.

Do I need a special app to scan?

No special app is needed: point your phone at the QR and the record opens right away.

What happens when I scan a record's QR?

The record opens straight on the phone, with all the context, with no typing a search or scrolling a list.

What's the point of sticking the QR on equipment or a label?

That way the data leaves the screen and starts following the physical object; anyone accesses the right record from their phone.

Is this feature useful for people working in the field?

Yes, it's made for the phone, ideal for whoever is on the street or the operation floor.

Can I use the QR on an event badge?

Yes, at the booth you scan the contact's QR and open their record to note the conversation on the spot.

Does this replace manually searching for a record?

Yes, instead of typing a search and hunting for the right record, a single scan opens it right away.

Can a technician open a piece of equipment's maintenance history this way?

Yes, they scan the QR on the equipment and open the maintenance record right away, with all the history.

Is this feature included in the free plan?

Yes, it's part of the CRM, which is free; you only pay for infrastructure usage above US$20 per month.
