New pin types: process flow, funnel, decisions, OKRs, polls, surveys & ratings
Seven new pin formats for workflows, conversion, decisions, goals, and live team input — plus a full catalog table of every pin type in Pindown.
We shipped a batch of planning, strategy, and interactive pin types. Each one is a typed block you can drop on a Page, Pinboard, Pitch tab, or Canvas — and reuse across formats without rebuilding from scratch.
If you are new to pins, start with the pin formats overview. This changelog focuses on what is new and shows a live example of each.
Process Flow — swimlane management cockpit
Map how work moves across roles: swimlanes, active step, utilization, team roster, and bottleneck notes. Great for onboarding maps and ops reviews.
Loading process flow...
Funnel — conversion with drop-off
Ordered stages top to bottom with conversion rates and the biggest leak highlighted. Use for signup funnels, sales pipelines, and onboarding conversion.
Loading funnel...
Decision Matrix — weighted criteria
Score options against weighted criteria and surface a winner. Cleaner than a free-text comparison when you need a defensible pick.
Loading decision matrix...
OKRs — objectives & key results
Track quarterly goals with progress bars, confidence, and on-track / at-risk / off-track status per key result.
Loading OKRs...
Poll — live single-question voting
One question, multiple options, realtime vote bars. Everyone with access can vote; counts update live in Firebase.
Loading poll...
Survey — multi-question forms
Short text, long text, single/multi choice, and scale questions. Owners and editors get a Results tab with aggregated breakdowns; respondents only see their own answers.
Loading survey...
Rating — multi-item star scores
Rate one prompt or several items (e.g. content, delivery, overall) with 1–5 stars and optional half stars. Owners and editors see per-item breakdowns in Results; optional live averages can be shared with everyone after they rate (like polls).

How to try them
- Open any workspace and click Add pin.
- Pick Process Flow, Funnel, Decision Matrix, OKRs, Poll, Survey, or Rating.
- Or ask the app-wide agent on /home to build one from your notes — it can create all of these via CRUD tools (interactive pins store votes/responses separately in Firebase).
