Frequently asked questions
How does it know a user is stalled?
Your product emits onboarding-step events (or you track step + timestamp in a table). The daily check finds users whose current step hasn't advanced in over a day. That gap — reached a step but didn't complete it — is the stall signal.
Isn't one nudge per stall enough?
Usually, yes. The workflow records that a nudge was sent for a given step so it never repeats. If the user is still stuck days later, that's a signal for a human or a different intervention, not another identical email.
