Salesforce for CS - Any best practices?
Expert 
Hi Everyone,
I know many of you use SFDC for all things CS related (customer journey maps, reporting, playbooks and automation, etc.) and was looking for any insights or best practices you might be willing to share, and possibly how difficult - or not - it is to get these things rolling.
Here are some things I'm thinking about:
1: Playbooks and automation along the customer journey for specific milestones and goals. For example, a trigger at the end of onboarding sends a usage report to the CSM. Or, if a customer dips below the "healthy benchmark" you've set for DAU or MAU, it triggers a playbook with tasks to take action.
2: Success Plans with visual tracking to goals. Can that even be done in SFDC? With tasks, I assume yes.
3: Building dashboards for all sorts of customer reporting
These are just a few things coming to mind and I'm sure I am leaving things out, but right now we're not using it for CS so not a rush. I've also search GGR for more of this information and found some good things, but would love more details if even possible.
Thank you in advance!

OPHey Liam,
Unfortunately I had to cap out the Zoom last week (I posted it above in the thread; message right above yours) due to size. It was getting too large and I wanted to ensure we retained the ability for Q&A and conversation.
If ok with the group, I'll record it and post in the library here.
Thanks for understanding.

For all others: I am going to cap this Zoom out at this point. It's getting very large and I want to ensure we have the ability to have a proper Q&A and conversation.

Hey Shari,
Thanks for organizing! Unfortunately I'm out on vacation that day, but could you send to my colleague jsuess@avidxchange.com?
Also, if there's any way to record that would be amazing and I'll watch it when I get back!

Hey Shari + all,
I would love to join and share some insights. We recently moved over to Salesforce for our CS and team and rolled out QUIP.
QUIP has been a game-changer for our organization.

Hi Markus,
I'd be also interested to know more about Quip. This is to be exactly what we are looking for at MURAL while we're stil deciding on leveraging a CS tool.
Hope I'm not too late to the party

OPIt is even a party without a crasher? 
If Markus is ok with it, then I'll take the reigns here and organize.
