Account & Billing Setup: Manage Users, Alerts & Your Plan | PipelineLift AI
Managing an AI intake platform involves more than responding to prospective clients. Law firms also need a straightforward way to manage team access, stay informed about account activity, and understand their plan and billing.
The PipelineLift client portal brings intake operations and account management into the same platform, helping law firms keep their team and account settings organized.
In this final part of the PipelineLift AI platform walkthrough, we'll cover the essentials of account and billing management, including user access, alerts, and plan selection.
Why Account Management Matters for Law Firms
As a law firm grows, more people may become involved in handling prospective clients. Intake coordinators, attorneys, managing partners, and operations teams may all need different levels of visibility into the intake process.
Without clear account management, it can become difficult to keep access organized and ensure the right people receive important updates.
A well-managed account helps your firm maintain a clear structure for team access, communication, and billing oversight.
Manage Users and Team Access
Different team members have different responsibilities. An intake coordinator may need to review incoming inquiries, while a managing partner may be more interested in overall intake performance and reporting.
Managing user access helps firms organize who can use the platform and which responsibilities they handle.
When reviewing your team setup, consider the following:
Team access: Make sure the appropriate people can access the platform.
Role responsibilities: Keep responsibilities clear across intake, operations, and leadership.
Access reviews: Review access when team members join, change roles, or leave.
Account security: Use appropriate permissions and follow your firm's security policies.
The goal is to make collaboration easier without giving every user more access than they need.
Configure Alerts and Notifications
Timely information helps teams respond to intake activity and stay aware of important updates.
Account alerts and notifications can help users stay informed about relevant activity, depending on the settings available to them.
When configuring alerts, consider which updates are important for each role. Intake staff may need operational notifications, while firm leadership may prefer higher-level reporting and performance updates.
Avoid sending every notification to every team member. Relevant alerts make it easier to identify information that requires attention without creating unnecessary noise.
Understand Your Plan
Before choosing or changing a plan, it is important to understand how the platform's pricing works.
PipelineLift's published pricing model is based on qualified consultation opportunities (COIs) captured rather than per-user or per-seat charges. The website currently lists these bundles:
Core: $40 per COI, with 25 credits.
Grow: $35 per COI, with 50 credits.
Scale: $30 per COI, with 100 credits.
PipelineLift also states that it does not charge a separate AI receptionist fee or a monthly platform fee. Its published offer starts with a free Pipeline Audit and a fully refundable 30-day pilot before firms select a bundle.
Review the current pricing page and applicable terms before making a plan decision, as pricing and account options can change.
Monitor Billing and Credits
Understanding billing helps your firm keep its intake operations organized and avoid surprises.
When reviewing your account, make sure you understand:
Which plan or bundle is active.
How many credits are included.
How COI usage is measured.
Which implementation or other fees apply.
Whether credits are refundable.
How to contact support about billing questions.
PipelineLift's current website states that the implementation fee is refundable, while purchased credits are not. Review the terms that apply to your account before purchasing or changing a bundle.
Choose a Plan That Fits Your Intake Volume
The right plan depends on your firm's intake needs and expected volume of qualified consultation opportunities.
A firm handling a smaller number of opportunities may prefer a smaller bundle, while a firm with higher intake volume may find a larger bundle more suitable.
Before choosing, consider your current lead volume, the number of opportunities you expect to qualify, and the results you want to measure.
Rather than selecting a bundle based on size alone, use your intake data and actual performance to guide the decision.
Keep Account Settings Organized
A periodic account review can help ensure that your team and settings continue to reflect how your firm operates.
Consider reviewing the following:
User access: Confirm that the right team members have access.
Notifications: Check that important updates reach the appropriate people.
Plan and credits: Understand your selected bundle and usage.
Billing details: Ensure your account information is accurate.
Performance reporting: Review intake results and identify areas for improvement.
These simple checks can help keep your platform organized as your firm and intake needs evolve.
Connect Account Management With Intake Performance
Account settings are only one part of running an effective intake process.
The larger objective is to ensure prospective clients receive timely responses, relevant follow-up, and a clear path toward a qualified consultation opportunity.
PipelineLift combines AI-powered intake with reporting designed to help law firms understand their inquiries, COIs, and intake performance. Keeping user access, notifications, and billing organized helps your team manage the platform more effectively.
