When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when a new customer genuinely needs more than one department aware at kickoff, and today each department either finds out separately (see customer-onboarding-001 for CS, customer-onboarding-030 for finance, customer-onboarding-022 for delivery) or does not find out at all.
  • Use it as the consolidated version of those single-department fiches, not a replacement for them, some teams want both a targeted alert and a shared briefing.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if only one department actually needs to know at this point, use the specific fiche for that department instead (customer-onboarding-001, 022, or 030), a briefing to everyone when only one team needs to act creates noise.
  • Do not use it for deals below a certain size if the extra visibility is not worth the notification volume, add an amount filter to the enrollment criteria if that is the case.
