The following example explains how to download and customize a Rule template from Vault to automatically produce lifecycle Calls to Action (CTAs). In this example, you will configure a rule to assign a CTA to a CSM with an accompanying playbook for welcoming new customers. This rule creates a CTA for new customers that signed their contracts yesterday. The example below is based on the Original Contact Date which was loaded to the Customer record during the new customer import. If org uses another date field that indicates when a new customer has signed, you’ll want to replace the OCD field with the appropriate field from your Salesforce instance.
