What implementation runs on
An onboarding object
Model each engagement as a record with a status property for its phase (Kickoff → Config → Go-live) and relations to the account.
Tasks
Assign steps with owners, due dates, and priority: created by hand or automatically. Every task links back to its record for context.
Workflows
Fire when a deal closes to create the onboarding checklist, then send reminders and status updates as each phase completes.
Sequences
Time-based nudges (a day-1 welcome, a day-7 check-in) with explicit waits between steps.
Scheduling
Let customers self-book kickoff and training calls from a shared availability link.

Drive it forward
Use a sequence for the timed nudges, and workflows to notify the team as each phase completes.
4
Track every account
Build an onboarding dashboard (a board or table of accounts by phase) and report on cycle time.
