Workflow overview

Onboarding is where churn is won or lost. A workflow template sequences provisioning, welcome content, training invites, and success checkpoints without relying on heroic CSM memory.

Keep human steps explicit—especially for enterprise—while automating reminders, doc generation, and status rollups to leadership.

Step-by-step automation flow

Ordered stages you can map to triggers, queues, and owners — reuse blocks side-by-side on compare pages later.

Step 1
Billing webhook flips customer status to onboarded and seeds a project template.
Step 2
Day 0: send welcome pack + calendar link; create shared success plan doc from template.
Step 3
Day 3/7/14: automated check-ins with different depth based on product tier.
Step 4
CSM gets a rollup when tasks stall; playbook suggests next best action snippets.
Step 5
At milestone hit, trigger advocacy ask or expansion play based on usage signals.
