MinaCRM documentation
MinaCRM is a sales CRM your team talks to. Tell it what happened with a client in Telegram or Google Chat, the way you'd message a colleague, and it keeps your companies, contacts, deals and tasks up to date. The web dashboard shows the same data.
What it does
- Captures work as you talk. "Met Maria at Jollibee, they want a quote by Friday" becomes a logged meeting and a task due Friday.
- Builds deals from documents. Upload a SOW or proposal and MinaCRM fills in the client, value, stage and contact.
- Reads photos and voice notes. A business card becomes a contact; a voice note is transcribed and logged.
- Keeps you on top of the day. An 8 AM brief, a reminder before each meeting, and a debrief after client meetings.
- Follows through. It schedules its own follow-ups and drafts client emails you send from your Gmail.
- Lets you undo anything. Every change comes with Edit / Cancel buttons.
Getting started
Quickstart
You need an invite from your MinaCRM admin, sent to your work email.
-
Accept your invite
Open the invite email and tap Connect Telegram. Telegram opens MinaCRM and connects your account automatically. Prefer Google Chat? Use the Open MinaCRM in Google Chat link in the same email.
-
Say hello
Send
/helpto see everything MinaCRM can do, or just tell it about a client. -
Log your first update

-
Open the dashboard
Send
/login(or say “log me in”) for a one-time sign-in link to dashboard.minacrm.net. The link works once and expires in 5 minutes.
/telegram gives you your personal Telegram link; from Telegram, /googlechat opens Google Chat.
Getting started
Talking to MinaCRM
You don't need commands. Write like you would to a teammate — MinaCRM works out which company, deal and people you mean, and asks one short question only when it really can't tell.
Update“Demo with Kape Collective went well, Bea wants the sweep pricing Monday”
Ask“What's on my plate today?” · “How's the pipeline?” · “Show the Northpoint deal”
Create“Add a task to call Anna tomorrow” · “Add a new deal” · “Add Harbor Point Hotels as a company”
Email“Send an email to Carlo about the supplier file”
MinaCRM remembers the conversation, so “the second one” or “yes, do that” work, and it learns your preferences (“keep replies short”, “JFC means Jollibee”). Say new chat to start a fresh conversation — your preferences and CRM data stay.
Guides
Logging calls, meetings & notes
Describe what happened and MinaCRM logs it against the right company and open deal. If a company has several open deals, it asks which one.
| You send | MinaCRM does |
|---|---|
| Text: “Met Liza from Northpoint about the enrollment checklist” | Logs a meeting on the Northpoint deal |
/addnote Demo went well, pricing by Friday for Acme | Saves a note straight away (no AI step) |
| 🎤 A voice note | Transcribes it, quotes the transcript, then logs it |
| 📷 A business card | Reads it and offers to add the contact |
| 📷 A chat screenshot | Logs what was discussed and adds tasks for promises made |
| 📷 A quote or proposal photo | Offers to create or update the deal |
Photos, files and voice notes work in Telegram and in Google Chat.
Guides
Tasks
- Add:
/addtask Send revised pricing to Ramon for Northpoint Logistics— or just “add a task to …”. Add “for <company>” to attach it to a company. - Due dates come from your words: “tomorrow”, “tom”, “bukas”, “Friday”, “next week”, “Oct 12”. See Dates & phrases.
- See them:
/tasks, “what's my tasks”, or the My Tasks page on the dashboard (the number on its icon counts open tasks). - Finish:
/done revised pricing— part of the name is enough. - Change: tap ✏️ Edit task under the confirmation and say what to change (“make it due Friday”).
Guides
Deals
Add a deal
Send /adddeal (or “add a new deal”) and choose:
- Type the details — client, deal name (MinaCRM suggests names), value, stage, expected close, then contact and next step (optional).
- Upload a file — a SOW, proposal or quote (PDF, Word or text, up to 20 MB). MinaCRM reads it and fills in what it finds: client, deal name, value, stage, contact and next step. You review everything before it's saved, and the file is attached to the deal.
A new deal waits for your ✅ Save — nothing is created until you confirm.
See a deal
/deal Northpoint shows the stage, value, expected close, next step, the client's contacts and any attached files — tap a file to get it back in the chat. /deals lists your open deals; /pipeline shows value by stage.
Stages
LeadQualifiedDiscoveryProposalNegotiationClosed WonClosed Lost
Move a deal by telling MinaCRM (“Kape Collective is in negotiation now”) or by dragging its card on the dashboard's Deals board.
Guides
Companies & contacts
/addaccount Visayas Cold Chain— add a company. If a similar name exists, MinaCRM asks whether you meant it./addcontact Maria Lim, Visayas Cold Chain, maria@example.com— add a person (email optional)./contacts mariaand/accounts— search and list.
Companies, contacts and deals are shared with your whole team.
Guides
Connect once:
/connectlinks your own Gmail (send permission only).Compose:
/sendemailwalks you through To → Subject → Message, or use the shortcut/sendemail maria | Proposal | Hi Maria, …. The recipient can be a contact's name.Attach: send files while composing (up to 18 MB in total).
Review and send: nothing goes out until you tap Send. It's sent from your Gmail and logged on the client's timeline.
MinaCRM can also draft an email for you (for example after a debrief) — it appears with Send and Edit buttons; you always make the final tap.
Guides
Brief, reminders & follow-ups
| Feature | What you get | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Morning brief | Weekdays at 8:00 — today's meetings, due tasks, deals that need attention, news about your accounts | /brief now · /brief off / on |
| Meeting reminders | 15 minutes before each meeting, with the join link | /reminders off / on |
| Debriefs | After a client meeting: “How did it go?” — reply (voice is fine) and MinaCRM logs it, updates the deal, sets follow-ups and drafts the email | /debrief any time · /debrief off |
| Follow-ups | When you say “I'll send the quote Friday”, MinaCRM schedules a check-in and messages you then | /followups lists them, with cancel buttons |
These scheduled messages arrive in Telegram today; Google Chat delivery is coming.
Guides
Google Chat
Open your chat
Use the Open MinaCRM in Google Chat link from your email, Settings → Account, or /googlechat in Telegram. Sign in with your work account and your private chat with MinaCRM opens. You can also search New chat → Find apps → MinaCRM.
In group spaces
Add MinaCRM to a space and @mention it. It acts for whoever mentioned it:
- Team questions (“@MinaCRM how's our pipeline?”) are answered in the space.
- Anything personal — your tasks, calendar, follow-ups, drafts — and every change you make is shown only to you.
- In a group, MinaCRM only uses team-shared information.
Good to know
- Type
/to pick a command, or just write normally. - If a reply takes longer than Google Chat waits for, MinaCRM says it's still working — send done? and you'll get the answer.
- Google Chat can't receive files from MinaCRM yet; download them from the dashboard's Files page or on Telegram.
Guides

Sign in at dashboard.minacrm.net with the link from /login. It refreshes by itself every few seconds, so changes from chat appear within about 10 seconds.

Dates & phrases
Due dates are read from your message, in Manila time.
| You write | Due date |
|---|---|
| today · tonight · EOD | Today |
| tomorrow · tmrw · tom · bukas | Tomorrow |
| Friday · on Friday | The coming Friday |
| next Friday | Friday of next week |
| next week · end of week | Next Monday · this Friday |
| in 3 days · in 2 weeks | Counted from today |
| Oct 12 · 12 October · 2026-10-12 | That date |
“tom” means tomorrow only in lowercase and not right after words like “to”, “with” or “call” — so “call Tom” stays a person.
Admin & security
Inviting your team
On the dashboard, open Settings → Team and add the person's name, work email and role.
They receive an invite email with Connect Telegram and Open MinaCRM in Google Chat. Either one connects their account; they can add the other later.
They're recognised in Google Chat by their work email, so use the address they sign in to Google with.
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| Member | Use MinaCRM, see team data and their own private items |
| Admin | Everything a member can, plus invite and manage teammates and workspace settings |
Google Calendar & Drive
Connecting Google in Settings → Integrations syncs that person's calendar and files into MinaCRM, visible only to them. Gmail sending is connected per person with /connect.
Admin & security
Privacy & permissions
MinaCRM works account to account: each person has their own sign-in, conversation, memory and private items; the team shares the sales record.
| Item | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Companies, contacts, deals, invoices, deal files | Whole team |
| Tasks, notes and activities you create | Only you |
| Your synced Google Calendar and Drive | Only you |
| Email drafts, pending approvals, sign-in links | Only you |
| Your change history (Activities → Your changes) | Only you |
| Your conversation with MinaCRM and what it remembers about you | Only you |
- Every change is recorded and can be undone; nothing is ever silently deleted.
- The AI can't bypass the rules. It acts only through MinaCRM's own tools, which check your permissions on every step.
- Sign-in links work once, expire in 5 minutes and are never shown to a group.
- Google access: the Google Chat link uses your sign-in once to open your chat and keeps no access; Gmail sending uses only the send permission you grant with
/connect.
Admin & security
How it works
Mina Core stores everything in Supabase and uses AI models (DeepSeek for conversation, MiniMax for reading documents and images, Groq for voice) and Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Chat).
- Commands (
/tasks,/deals, quick adds, buttons) run directly in Mina Core — instant and exact. - Everything else goes to the assistant, which calls Mina Core's tools; Mina Core checks each action, saves it and records it for Undo.
Help
Troubleshooting
- The bot doesn't reply to me
- You need an invite first. Ask your admin to add you in Settings → Team, then use the link in the invite email.
- “This link expired or was already used”
- Sign-in links work once, for 5 minutes. Send
/loginfor a fresh one, and open it on the device you want to use. - I can't find MinaCRM in Google Chat
- Use the Open MinaCRM in Google Chat link (email, Settings → Account, or
/googlechatin Telegram). If Google says the app isn't available to you, ask your admin to add you to the app's access list. - Google Chat says “still working”
- Reading a document or a long request can take longer than Google Chat waits. Send done? a few seconds later to see the answer.
- MinaCRM seems confused by an old topic
- Send new chat to start a fresh conversation. Your preferences and CRM data aren't affected.
- Something was saved wrong
- Tap ✏️ Edit or ✖ Cancel under the confirmation, or tell MinaCRM what to fix. Everything can be undone.
- A change from chat isn't on the dashboard
- The dashboard refreshes every few seconds; reload the page once if it's been open a long time.
Help
What's new

- One set of commands and memory across Telegram and Google Chat; connect either app from the other.
- New buttons: Edit / Cancel for new items, Undo and Restore for changes.
- Activity log shows everything you changed; single due date on tasks; “tom” and “bukas” understood.
- Deals from documents now pick up the stage and follow your team's deal naming.
- Stronger privacy: private tasks, approvals and exports are visible only to their owner.
