What SalesPipe does not do
It runs on one computer and needs that computer awake. It has no team features, no built-in lead database and no LinkedIn or phone channel. You set up your own mailbox, WhatsApp and model keys. Windows and Linux are not shipped yet. If any of those is essential, Artisan or another hosted tool is the better fit.
