A manual lead is worked exactly like one captured by the AI:

- **Stages**: drag it across the board (or use its record's stage buttons) as it moves forward. The stages
  are your custom funnel's.
- **Notes**: jot down context on its record (what they asked for on the phone, budget, urgency).
- **Appointment**: create the visit from the record itself ("Create appointment").
- **Ticket**: if there's a pending task, "Create ticket" leaves it logged with its status.
- **WhatsApp**: if the contact has a verified phone, you can start the conversation from the record.
