Partner-to-partner collaboration is the bedrock of a scalable ecosystem. Real-time collaboration is now possible right in Crossbeam with Static Shared Lists. PMs can handpick both overlapping and non-overlapping accounts from any Lists and share with a partner to quickly prioritize, action, and attribute your ripest opportunities.

With Static Shared Lists, you can:

  • Work collaboratively and securely with your partner on both overlapping and non-overlapping accounts in an easy-to-scan format

  • Unlock the insights that matter most with customizable column configuration

  • Have an organized record of your PM-to-PM communications that is easy to find and search through


❗️Important

To access this feature, you must have Data Sharing enabled. Learn more about Data Sharing with your partners here.


Create a Static Shared List

😎 Pro Tip

Configure List columns to include Opportunity data, sort the List by opportunity amount, and add the top accounts records to your Static Shared List.

Adding this data makes sure you don't miss out on the highest-value opportunities.

Records with Opportunity data that are included in the Static Shared List (Opportunity Name, Opportunity Stage, and Opportunity Amount) are not visible to your partner.

✍️ Note

Static Shared List works for all Data Sources in Crossbeam. Static Shared Lists generated from CSV files will be limited to static functionality; other Data Sources will dynamically update.


❗️Important

The sharing settings for Static Shared Lists are independent of your default Sharing Settings. All information (except Records with Opportunity data) included in the Static Shared Lists, will be shared with your partner.

FAQs

Will this work for non-overlapping lists?

Yes, you can share non-overlapping lists with a partner.

Why can't I create a Static Shared List?

You must have Standard user level permissions in order to create a Static Shared List or to be invited to join a Static Shared List. Learn more about roles and permissions here.

What happens to records on my list if my partner deletes their data source or stops sharing data with me?

The Records will still exist on your Static Shared List, but will remain static.

Can I send a Static Shared List to multiple partners?

No, Static Shared Lists only work on a 1-to-1 level, so you can only share with 1 partner. However, you can invite multiple internal collaborators to a list from your org, and your partner can do the same.

If the owner of the list removes those records, are they deleted on the partner side too?

Correct.

If I'm creating the list and my data is set to overlap counts and the partners sharing data with me, do I have to enable permissions?

As long as your partner is sharing data with you, and you are at least sharing overlap counts, you will be able to add that Record to a list.

Do you have to share account owner?

No, account owner is automatically on the list.

For Free plan users with "Invite-Only" access, are they getting access to the full Static Shared Lists feature once invited?

Yes, they have full access to the feature if they're invited to collaborate on a Static Shared List.

Will you automatically see your partner's updates in the Static Shared List? Or do you need to manually refresh?

It will automatically push to your Crossbeam instance, and you will receive a notification for any updates.

Will Static Shared Lists work for all data sources, including sheets and CSVs?

Yes, but CSVs will be static and not active like CRM connections.
