Description

This workflow automates a complete 5-step user onboarding sequence by integrating Notion (as a CRM), Gmail (for sending emails), and Telegram (for team alerts).

Instead of manually checking user sign-up dates, this workflow runs daily to detect where each user is in their journey and triggers the appropriate action.

How it works
The workflow checks your Notion database every 24 hours and performs the following actions based on the user's registration date:
Day 0 (Welcome):** Sends an immediate welcome email via Gmail to new signups.
Day 1 (Value):** Sends a "Pro Tip" email to encourage feature adoption.
Day 3 (Check-in):** Sends a soft check-in email asking if the user needs help.
Day 7 (Sales Push):* Sends a personal email from a manager to users who haven't converted yet, and *sends a Telegram notification** to your sales team about this hot lead.
Trial Expiry:** Automatically detects when a trial is about to expire (3 days left) and sends a renewal reminder.
