Use Case

One hub for onboarding and service requests

A payments fintech tracks CSM manager onboarding tasks and service desk requests in Airtable, giving Customer Success and Support a shared workflow hub instead of separate handoff processes and manual status tracking.

The problem

CSM manager onboarding tasks and service desk requests moved between owners with fragmented handoffs, making it hard to see where a task or request actually stood.

Support lacked a consistent way to track request status, which meant visibility depended on asking around rather than checking a shared record.

What they built

Customer Success tracks CSM manager onboarding tasks in Airtable, with each step recorded against the manager it belongs to.

Support uses the same hub to log service desk requests and keep their status current, giving both teams one place to check progress.

The outcome

Onboarding handoffs and service requests now run through a shared workflow hub instead of scattered tracking.

Support has request visibility it did not have before, with status updates recorded in the same system Customer Success uses for onboarding.

Build out this use case

Customer Success onboarding and service desk

Track every CSM manager's onboarding (playbook steps, owners, due dates, and progress rollups) in the same hub where Support logs and updates service desk requests, so both teams check one shared record instead of chasing handoffs. Automations create each new manager's kickoff task, stamp resolved requests onto the client account, and email a weekly open-request digest, while Airtable AI drafts handoff briefs, triage summaries, and requester status updates.
