What is a canvassing pin?
The record a rep drops on the map at a door, holding the address, the outcome, the timestamp and the photos.
A pin is one house, one visit. The rep taps the map at the address, tags what happened — not home, not interested, inspection set, signed, come back Tuesday — and the pin keeps that outcome with a GPS location and a time.
Pins are what make canvassing measurable. Count them and you know how many doors got worked. Color them by outcome and a street tells you at a glance whether it is worth a second pass. Compare them across reps and you can see who is actually knocking rather than who says they are.
They are also the start of the job record. A pin that turns into an inspection should become a contact, then a job, then a claim, without anybody retyping the address. When the canvassing app and the CRM are separate products, that hand-off is where leads quietly go missing.
