How to Build a Sales Pipeline App with Strapi and Next.js

In a comprehensive tutorial, Paul Bratslavsky outlines the process of building a sales pipeline app using Strapi 5 and Next.js 16, demonstrating how these tools can streamline the traditionally backend-heavy task of creating a sales pipeline application. The guide covers the creation of data models for deals, contacts, and pipeline stages as Collection Types in Strapi, which are exposed through a REST API, and their integration with a Kanban board in Next.js that allows for real-time updates of deal stages via drag-and-drop actions. It emphasizes the use of Strapi's role-based permissions for secure API access and the implementation of additional features such as filtering, deal value summaries, and role-based access control. The tutorial also provides insights into setting up the development environment, handling API requests securely, and enhancing the application with client-side data aggregation and filtering to improve data visibility and management efficiency.
