Activation gated by real milestones
Onboarding and activation journeys advance on real product events — the user reached the milestone, or they didn't. Nudges fire because someone stalled, not because a nightly job swept the list.
For growth and lifecycle marketing
Activation, retention, expansion — triggered by real behavior.
Growth loops fire on the same product and engagement events the CRM records — so an activation nudge lands because the user actually stalled on a milestone, not because a cron said so. Build journeys, personalize the surface, and watch retention and expansion signals on the same substrate.

What you get on day one
Six things you stop juggling.
Nurture journeys you preview as the user
Build nurture and re-engagement journeys and walk them as a real contact with "preview as subject" — every branch, message, and suppression. You ship knowing exactly what each cohort sees.
Personalize the in-product surface
Serve personalized blocks and content by segment, driven by the same live data as the rest of the platform. The message a stalled user sees is chosen from behavior, not a static banner.
Retention + expansion signals
Usage drops, champion churn, and expansion triggers surface on the account the moment they happen — shared with CS, so a retention play and an expansion motion fire off the same signal instead of two disconnected reports.
Segments correct at send time
Membership recomputes on event arrival, so the cohort for tonight's experiment is accurate now — not as of last night. Your holdout stays a holdout; your treatment group is who you actually meant.
Consent-safe experimentation
Every lifecycle touch checks consent at send time and logs blocked sends with the reason. You can move fast on growth loops without the legal team learning about it in an audit.

“Our activation nudges finally fire on real behavior. Someone stalls on a milestone and the journey reacts — not a nightly batch that already missed the window.”
