When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use when lifecycle stage on the contact and company records is expected to reflect real deal progress, and currently only updates through separate, inconsistent manual habits or marketing-only triggers.
  • Use on portals where each company typically has one primary deal driving its lifecycle stage. Multi-deal companies need the Known pitfalls guidance below.

Skip it

  • Do not use if your company lifecycle stage is intentionally decoupled from deal stage. Some portals track company lifecycle independently for account-based marketing reasons; confirm this is the intended model before building.
