New target is grayed out

  • Cause: you don't have a pipeline yet.
  • Fix: start one from a template, or click New pipeline.

I can't add someone to a pipeline twice

  • Cause: a contact or organization can be on each pipeline once.
  • Fix: open their existing target and move it instead.

A card won't drop into another pipeline's lane

  • Cause: in the All view, cards move within their own pipeline.
  • Fix: remove the target and add it to the other pipeline.

A target I paused is gone from the board

  • Cause: paused targets leave the stage columns and wait in the Paused bar along the bottom of the board.
  • Fix: click the Paused bar to open it, then drag the card back onto a stage. On All, the bar holds every pipeline's paused targets.

My outcome columns or closed targets disappeared

  • Cause: Show outcome stages or Show closed targets is off.
  • Fix: turn them back on in Outreach options.

A pipeline disappeared

  • Cause: it was archived.
  • Fix: open Outreach options → Archived pipelines and restore it.

I didn't get a reminder to follow up

  • Plya sends no reminders. Check Follow-ups in the rail.

Can Plya send my outreach emails?

  • No. Write from your own email, then log the follow-up in Plya.
