Create a New Deal

Click  Add a New Deal.

Add a deal from a contact page

You can also add a deal directly from a contact's page. Click the  Deals tab and Add a New Deal.

The contact will automatically be associated with the deal you create.

Add a deal by email

You can create deals via email by using your Highrise dropbox address. There are two ways to do that:

1. Forwards

Forward an email directly to your dropbox address, and place the new deal directive in the body of the forwarded message.

/deal NEW DEAL

Adding  /deal NEW DEAL to the email will create a new deal that includes the email you forwarded. You can replace NEW DEAL with whatever you want to name the deal you're creating. See an example.

2. BCC/CC or autoforwards

You can CC/BCC your email to your dropbox address, just add +deal to it. For example:

dropbox+deal@123.yourdropboxaddress.highrisehq.com

A new deal will get created using the subject of the email as the deal name.

You can also use autoforwarding rules to forward emails to dropbox+deal@ and new deals will created for each email automatically.
