OutcomeEvery time the onboarding ticket moves to a new stage, the right people get notified and a timestamp is kept, so the ticket pipeline created in customer-onboarding-005 actually reflects live progress instead of sitting untouched after creation.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

Skip it

  • Do not use it if the pipeline has only two stages (open and closed), the branching adds little value at that point, a simple closed-ticket notification is enough.
  • Do not use it if stage changes happen too rarely to be a meaningful signal, for very long or ad hoc onboarding projects a manual status update might serve better.
