About This Automation

Identifying expansion opportunities manually requires sales reps to juggle multiple data sources, cross-reference accounts, and manually score readiness. This fragmented approach delays outreach and leaves revenue on the table.

Automation continuously monitors usage patterns and account health, automatically flags ready-to-expand customers, and composes contextual outreach messages. Sales reps focus on closing deals instead of data wrangling.

Key features:
Monitor usage metrics and account signals in real time to surface expansion candidates automatically
Score customer readiness based on adoption rate, usage growth, account age, and revenue potential
Generate personalized outreach messages tailored to each customer's usage pattern and expansion type
Route high-priority opportunities to sales reps with full context and recommended next steps
Log all outreach activity and track conversion outcomes to refine expansion criteria over time

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Monitor customer usagetrigger

Automation checks daily for accounts that have crossed a defined usage threshold or adoption milestone.

2. Fetch account details

Automation retrieves the matching customer record, including contact history, deal stage, and account value.

3. Score expansion readiness

The automation evaluates the account against expansion criteria (usage growth, adoption rate, renewal window, revenue potential) and assigns a readiness score.

4. Score above threshold?

If the readiness score exceeds the configured threshold, proceed to outreach. Otherwise, log the account for future review.

5. Compose personalised outreach

The automation drafts a contextual email message that references the customer's usage growth and recommends a specific expansion or upsell offer.

6. Send email

Automation sends the composed email to the customer contact and logs the send timestamp.

7. Create activity

Automation logs the outreach as an activity record, linked to the customer account and tagged with the opportunity type.

8. Notify team

Automation posts a summary of the expansion opportunity to a designated channel with the customer name, readiness score, and recommended next steps.
