PipelineLabs: an entire outbound department, built as software

Email infrastructure, LinkedIn and WhatsApp automation, a CRM, AI replies and weekly reporting — one system that runs the top of a B2B pipeline.

The brief

A B2B agency was paying for six tools that did not talk to each other: one for sequences, one for LinkedIn, a spreadsheet as a CRM, an inbox where replies quietly died. The brief was to collapse that into a single system that could be operated by one person.

What we built

A multi-tenant Next.js platform on Postgres: contacts, companies, pipelines and threads in one CRM, with sending infrastructure attached directly to it. Sequences are traffic-driven rather than fired blindly on a timer, so sending volume follows what the inbox can actually handle.

Replies are matched back to their thread and read by an AI layer that drafts or sends a response — and hands over to a human the moment a conversation needs one, then stays out of the way for the rest of that thread.

A browser extension covers the channels that have no clean API, queuing LinkedIn and WhatsApp actions as tasks the system processes on a schedule.

  • Multi-tenant CRM: contacts, companies, pipelines, threads
  • Email sending infrastructure with traffic-driven pacing
  • Reply matching, AI drafting and clean human takeover
  • Unified LinkedIn + WhatsApp browser extension with a task queue
  • Scheduled workers for sequences, retries and processing
  • Analytics, weekly reports and a customer-facing dashboard
  • Subscription billing and a full marketing site

Why it is an automation project, not a CRM project

The interesting part is not the database. It is that a workflow which used to consume a person for several hours a day now runs on a schedule, escalates the exceptions, and reports on itself on Mondays.
