Fresh session per sweep — state lives on the HubSpot account record itself (a kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_milestone property marks the last milestone nudged), not in a local ledger file. A sweep can find several accounts at once; handle each as an independent unit — a failure checking one account's milestones is logged and skipped, never blocking any other account in the same sweep.

Step 0 — Orient: find accounts inside the onboarding window

Query HubSpot for accounts (company or deal, whichever carries {{customer_since_property}}) where that date falls within the last {{onboarding_window_days}} days:
text
GET /crm/v3/objects/companies/search
  filterGroups: [
    { propertyName: "{{customer_since_property}}", operator: "GTE", value: <today - {{onboarding_window_days}}d> }
  ]
  properties: ["name", "hubspot_owner_id", "{{customer_since_property}}",
               "kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_milestone", "kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_at"]
For each match, resolve hubspot_owner_id to the owning CSM's name and note how many days into onboarding the account currently is.

Step 1 — Pull milestones and events from Postgres (read-only)

sql
SELECT milestone, completed_at
FROM activation_milestones
WHERE account_id = :account_id
ORDER BY completed_at;

SELECT event_name, occurred_at
FROM product_events
WHERE account_id = :account_id
  AND occurred_at >= now() - interval '{{onboarding_window_days}} days'
ORDER BY occurred_at;
Adapt table and column names to what the project's schema actually calls them; the shape above is illustrative. The milestone rows are the source of truth for what's done — product events are supporting evidence for why a milestone hasn't completed (e.g. zero logins vs. logins with no key action).

Step 2 — Classify against the milestone framework

MilestoneWhat it meansExpected by
Workspace liveFirst login after signupDay 1
Core setupKey integration or configuration completedDay 3
First activation eventThe core "aha" action completed — the first time the account got real valueDay 7
Team expansionA second teammate invited and activeDay 14
Full activationRecurring usage across most of the last 14 daysDay 30 (or {{onboarding_window_days}})
For each account:
  • On track — every milestone whose expected day has passed is completed.
  • Stalled at <milestone> — the account is past that milestone's expected day without completing it, but still inside the onboarding window.
  • Overdue — past {{onboarding_window_days}} days total without full activation, regardless of which earlier milestones did complete.
An account can only be stalled at its earliest incomplete milestone — don't report team expansion as the stall if core setup itself never finished.

Step 3 — Draft the nudge (stalled or overdue accounts only)

Skip this step if kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_milestone already equals the milestone this account is currently stalled at — it was nudged for this exact stall on a prior run. Draft again only when the stalled milestone has changed (the account moved past the previously-nudged one and is now stuck further along, or regressed to an earlier open item) or the marker is missing.
Write the nudge addressed to the customer's specific missed step — not a generic "how's it going" check-in:
  • Name the one concrete action tied to the stalled milestone (e.g. "connect your first data source" for a core-setup stall, not "finish setup").
  • Keep it short, helpful, and low-pressure — an offer to help, not a warning.
  • Reference what the account has already done, if anything, so it doesn't read as a form letter to someone who's made partial progress.
Hold the draft in {{draft_channel}} for the owning CSM to review, edit, and send.

Step 4 — Alert the owning CSM

Post to {{alert_channel}}, addressed to the owning CSM, with:
  • The account name and how many days into onboarding it is.
  • Which milestones are completed and which is the current stall (or that it's overdue).
  • The nudge that was drafted (or, if this exact stall was already nudged, a note that no new draft was made and the prior one is still pending).
This alert is not deduplicated — it reappears every day the account remains stalled or overdue. It's a working reminder for the CSM, not a one-time notice.

Step 5 — Write the marker back

For every account that got a new nudge drafted in Step 3, set kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_milestone to that milestone's name and kortix_onboarding_last_nudge_at to now. This is the only HubSpot write — never the deal stage, the owner, a plan, or a seat count.
