This means a single contact or deal can travel through distinct workflows, such as pre-sales to onboarding, without manual handoff or duplicate data entry.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Connected Pipelines Works in Zoho Bigin<\/h2>\n<p>Each pipeline in Bigin represents a distinct business process, such as lead qualification or post-sale onboarding. Connected Pipelines lets you designate a target pipeline so that when a record reaches a specified closing stage in the source pipeline, Bigin automatically creates or moves the record into the opening stage of the linked pipeline. The connection is configured at the pipeline level in Bigin&#8217;s settings, and the same contact or deal record carries its history across both processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Connected Pipelines<\/h2>\n<p>Use Connected Pipelines when your business has sequential processes that must share the same underlying contact or company record but are managed by different teams. Common pairs include sales-to-onboarding, trial-to-subscription, or inquiry-to-support. Avoid this feature if your processes are parallel rather than sequential, or if your team only runs a single end-to-end pipeline where all stages already belong to one flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations for Connected Pipelines<\/h2>\n<p>Connected Pipelines is available in Bigin&#8217;s Team plan and above, where Team Pipelines itself is enabled. You can only connect pipelines within the same Bigin organisation. The trigger is the record reaching a specific winning or closing stage, so stage naming matters: ensure your terminal stage is accurately marked as a closing stage before configuring the connection. Records that are lost or deleted in the source pipeline do not carry over to the destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>India Example:<\/strong> A Hyderabad IT services firm uses one pipeline for pre-sales qualification and a second for project kick-off. When a deal closes in the first pipeline, Connected Pipelines automatically places the client record into the project pipeline&#8217;s first stage, alerting the delivery team without any manual data transfer.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/team-pipelines-zoho-bigin\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Team Pipelines<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sub-pipeline-zoho-bigin\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Sub-Pipeline<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workflows-zoho-bigin\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Workflows (Bigin)<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>Can a single pipeline be connected to more than one destination pipeline?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each pipeline can be connected to one destination pipeline at a time in Bigin.
