Use Notion AI to build a CRM pipeline
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a CRM dashboard for your sales pipeline with Notion AI. Instead of manually creating pages, subpages, and toggles, all of this will be done for you using AI prompts.
Step-by-step:
Go to Notion.so, open Notion AI, and collapse the side panel for a cleaner workspace
Use this prompt: "A CRM pipeline database where I can track leads from first contact through conversion. Add filters for email, type of subscriber, first contact, second contact, did they convert, and why didn't they convert"
Click Submit and let Notion AI build the database structure, then agree to suggested additions like follow-up stages and next steps
Review the generated "CRM – Sales Pipeline" page and refine fields by changing toggles to checkboxes or adding filters like deal size
Pro Tip: Experiment with prompt styles. For example, instead of saying "create me a CRM," try "create a sales pipeline with Kanban stages" or "build a lead tracker with follow-up reminders." The more specific you are, the better your results.
