This tutorial explains how to download and customize a Rule template from Vault to trigger new Calls-to-Action (CTAs) when other CTAs change state. This rule is based on the closure of the Kickoff CTA that will trigger the next CTA in the process, log a milestone to indicate the new customer is kicked off, and update the customer’s stage.

Note: You can use this process for any of the lifecycle CTAs, as it's a common practice across Customer Success organizations.
