The Add to Calendar feature has been temporarily removed as of v1.7.0. See the changelog →

Your Dashboard

The dashboard is the main screen you see when you log in. It’s called the Pipeline, and it shows all your leads in one place.

A lead is someone who has sent you a video asking for a quote. Each lead card shows you everything you need at a glance:

  • The customer’s name and phone number
  • A short description of the job they need done
  • A video thumbnail you can click to watch their recording
  • Action buttons to call, message, or move the lead through your pipeline

Tip: The left sidebar has two main buttons: Pipeline (to see your leads) and Settings (to update your account). If you ever get lost, click Pipeline to get back here.

Understanding Lead Statuses

Every lead has a status that tells you where you are in the process. You move leads forward as you work on them.

NewFresh lead
QuotedIn progress
ArchivedComplete
New
Customer just sent you a video

You haven’t reviewed their submission yet. The lead is fresh and ready for you to watch the video and learn about the job. New leads have a blue left border and a subtle blue tint, so they stand out at a glance. Leads in this status show a Mark Quoted button.

Quoted
You’re in touch with the customer

You’ve seen the video and you’re talking to the customer about the job. Move leads here when you start working on them. Quoted leads have an orange left border and subtle orange tint. Leads in this status show Back to New and Archive buttons.

Archived
Job is done, or this lead is no longer needed

Move leads here when the job is finished, or if it’s not one you want to take on. Archived leads have a grey left border and use the standard card background. They can be restored back to New at any time using the Restore button.

Reviewing a Lead

Every lead shows you everything you need right in the list. No need to click through to a detail page.

1
Watch the video

Click the video thumbnail (the small preview image) to open it in an in-page video player. The customer will usually describe the job they need done and show you what’s involved. Close the player when you’re done.

2
Read the description

Below the customer’s name and phone number you’ll see any extra details they typed about the job. This can include measurements, timing, or specific requests.

3
Call or message the customer

Every lead has icon buttons that are always visible — click the SMS icon to open your phone’s messaging app with their number ready to go, or click the phone icon to call them directly through your phone’s dialler. Both use your phone’s default apps — no extra setup needed.

4
Update the lead status

Each lead has action buttons to move it through your pipeline. Click Mark Quoted to move it to Quoted, or Archive when the job is complete. These buttons are always visible — no clicking around needed.

Moving Leads Through Your Pipeline

As you work on a job, move the lead from one status to the next. It helps you keep track of where you are with every customer.

1
New → Quoted

When you start talking to the customer about the job, click Move to Quoted. This moves the lead from your New list to your Quoted list so you know it’s in progress.

2
Quoted → Archived

Job is done? Click Archive. The lead moves to your Archived list. You can still see it by clicking the Archived tab at the top of the pipeline.

3
Going backwards

Made a mistake? No problem. You can move leads in reverse too:

  • Quoted → New: Click Move to New to send a lead back to the top of your pipeline.
  • Archived → New: Click Restore to bring an archived lead back to life.

Bulk actions: Need to move several leads at once? Tap each lead card to select it — a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. It shows a count with a status breakdown (e.g. 3 selected (2 New, 1 Quoted)) and buttons to move them all to any status. Click Select all to grab every lead in the current filter.



6

Reporting & Blocking Customers

If a lead is spam or unwanted, you can report it directly from your pipeline. Each report gets a unique reference number so you can follow up if needed.

To report a lead, click the Report button on the lead card, select a reason, and optionally check Block this customer to hide all future leads from that phone number.

Every report gets a reference number (e.g. #429506173). Keep this if you need to contact support about it later.

Viewing and managing blocked customers

To see who you’ve blocked or unblock someone, go to your Pipeline and click Blocked Customers in the sidebar. You’ll see a list of every phone number you’ve blocked and when. Click the trash icon next to a number to unblock them.

Your Widget Link

Your widget link is the unique URL you share with customers so they can send you a video. When they open it on their phone, they’ll see a simple form to record their job and submit it to you.

You can find your widget link in the Settings page, under the Your Widget Link section.

1
Share the link

Click the Share button to open your phone’s native share menu — send it via text message, email, or social media in one tap. Or click the Copy button to copy the link and paste it anywhere.

2
Print the QR code

Display the QR code on your van, in your shop window, on flyers, or on business cards. Customers scan it with their phone camera and it opens your widget link automatically.

3
Put it on your website

Below the widget link you’ll see an Installation section with a block of code. Copy and paste this into your website to add the widget directly to one of your pages. Ask your web person if you’re not sure where to put it.

Example: Your widget link looks like this: tradsiee.com/your-business-name. Each time a customer uses it, you’ll get a new lead in your Pipeline.

Installing the Widget on Your Website

If you have a website, you can add the Tradsiee widget directly to it. This lets customers record and send videos without leaving your site. The widget automatically detects whether your site uses light or dark mode and blends right in.

1
Go to Settings → Installation

Click Settings in the left sidebar, then scroll down to the Installation section. You’ll see a block of code that looks like this:

<div id="tradsiee-widget-root"></div>
<script src="https://tradsiee.com/loader.js?slug=your-business-name" async></script>
2
Copy the code

Click the Copy Installation Code button to copy the code to your clipboard.

3
Paste it into your website

Paste the code into the HTML of any page where you want the widget to appear. It will show up as a simple form where customers can describe their job and record a video. Ask your web developer if you need help finding the right spot.

Track widget usage with Google Analytics: The widget fires events at key steps so you can see how many people start vs complete a lead. If you use Google Analytics, your web person can paste this snippet anywhere on your site to start tracking:

<script>
window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
  if (e.data?.type !== 'tradsiee-event') return;
  gtag('event', e.data.event, e.data.data);
});
</script>

Events fire when a customer submits their details, verifies their phone, completes a lead, or hits an error. Completely optional — the widget works fine without it.

Account Settings

Click Settings in the left sidebar to manage your account.

Business Name
The name customers see on the widget and in SMS messages
Public Slug
Your unique widget URL. Changing it will break existing links
Email & Password
Used to log in. Your current password is required to change these
Dark Mode
Switch between light and dark display to suit your eyes

Changing your Public Slug

Your slug is part of your widget link (e.g. tradsiee.com/your-business-name). If you change it, the old link will stop working. Make sure to update your website and any printed materials if you change it. You’ll need to enter your current password to confirm the change.

Terminate Account

This permanently deletes your account and all your data — leads, customer information, and business profile. Video recordings submitted through the widget are retained for dispute resolution purposes and cannot be removed through account termination. You’ll need to confirm by entering a verification code sent to your phone.
