Frequently asked questions

Can I gate onboarding by plan?

Yes — add an `If`/`Switch` on `plan` after Step 2 so enterprise customers get a white-glove path and self-serve customers get the standard flow.

Combine several actions?

Definitely — a common setup is welcome email + Slack alert + CRM record, all fanned out from the single Stripe trigger.
