When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it as a small, foundational piece almost every other fiche in this category and the marketing-ops category assumes is already in place, if lifecycle stage does not update reliably, filters built on Lifecycle stage = Customer elsewhere will quietly miss records.
  • Use it when a single deal's closed-won moment should apply to all of its associated contacts, not only the primary one.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if your portal already sets lifecycle stage to Customer through another mechanism (a native deal-to-contact lifecycle stage sync setting, if enabled), check Settings > Objects > Deals first to avoid two systems fighting over the same field.
  • Do not combine this with customer-onboarding-014 into a single workflow, keep the nurture-removal logic there separate from this pure property update, so each is simple to audit on its own.
