Frequently asked questions
How does it detect a milestone?
Your product emits usage events, or you track a running count per user. The workflow checks whether a user just crossed a defined milestone since last time, so each milestone fires exactly once — not on every event after it.
Why celebrate usage at all?
Milestones are peak-motivation moments. A message that names the achievement ('you've automated 100 tasks — that's ~5 hours saved') makes the value tangible and is a natural, non-salesy moment to suggest the next feature or a plan upgrade.
