When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when a reopened closed-won deal usually signals a real problem during onboarding: a cancellation threat, a contract correction, or a chargeback, not routine data cleanup.
  • Use it as a safety net on top of customer-onboarding-001 and customer-onboarding-011, it does not replace either.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if reps in your portal routinely reopen and reclose deals for administrative reasons (fixing a wrong amount, a typo), you will get alert fatigue, exclude that pattern in your enrollment filters or retrain the team to use a note instead of reopening.
  • Do not use it once onboarding is marked complete, a reopened deal after go-live is a renewal or churn signal, see the renewal-expansion category instead.
