OutcomeA low CSAT score on a post-kickoff onboarding survey escalates directly to the CS manager, so a dissatisfied new customer gets a manager's attention before onboarding finishes, not after.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it alongside customer-onboarding-009, which sends the post-kickoff CSAT survey this fiche reacts to, both fiches share the same CSAT Score property.
  • Use it when a low early-onboarding score is a strong enough signal to warrant a manager-level touch, rather than waiting for the standard CS owner to follow up on their own schedule.

Skip it

  • Do not use it as your only quality signal, a single low CSAT response can be a one-off frustration rather than a pattern, treat this as a prompt for a manager to look closer, not an automatic verdict.
  • Do not use it if your CSAT survey is only sent post-onboarding-completion rather than post-kickoff, adjust the trigger property to whichever ticket holds the score in that case.
