CSM: AM Onboarding Runbook
Single SOP for the Customer Success Manager (CSM) to onboard AM customers. CSM is the only customer contact. You collect inputs, send one intake email with one shared upload link, then hand off to CS Ops. You review the CS Ops handover pack and inform the customer when ready.
Outcomes
- Customer provides all inputs once via Customer_Upload.
- CS Ops completes 3D Spark setup and, if required, calibration and validation.
- CSM reviews the handover pack and informs the customer when ready.
Rules
- CSM is the only customer contact.
- Use one intake email and one Customer_Upload link. No email attachments.
- Ask the customer once. If something is missing, ask once in a single follow-up.
Phase 0: Provision Customer 3D Spark Organization
- Contact IT / Cybersecurity to create the customer-specific 3D Spark organization.
- Contact IT / Cybersecurity to create a support account for that organization.
- Confirm support account access works.
- Record access handoff via approved secure channel (not HubSpot).
Phase 1: Scope and Decision
- Confirm target machine and material.
- Decide whether build time is relevant (costing uses machine runtime or runtime supervision labor as a driver).
Output: internal note with target machine, material, and build time relevant: yes/no.
Phase 2: Create Folder Structure + Share Upload Link
Before requesting uploads, create the customer workspace so the customer receives one correct upload link.
- Create/recreate the folder structure using: Set Up Folders.
- Share only the
Customer_Uploadlink with the customer.
Phase 3: Send Intake Request
Send one intake email that includes:
- The Customer_Upload link.
- Links to the customer-facing articles:
- Upload Information For Your 3D Spark Setup
- Upload Your Process Chain And Costs Spreadsheet
- Upload Your Slicer Project File With Printing Parameters
Phase 4: Monitor for Completeness and Clarify Once
- When uploads arrive, do one completeness pass.
- If anything is missing, ask once with a single consolidated list.
Phase 5: Hand Off to CS Ops
Hand off only when the Customer_Upload package is complete.
- Provide CS Ops: the Customer_Upload link + build time relevance decision + machine/material notes.
- CS Ops has access to the correct customer organization via the support account.
- Access handoff method is recorded via approved secure channel (not HubSpot).
- CS Ops execution starts from: CS Ops: AM Onboarding Runbook.
Once CS Ops reports their workflow as complete:
Phase 6: Review Handover Pack
- Review the evidence pack prepared by CS Ops: Assemble Evidence: Handover Pack.
Phase 7: Inform Customer and Close
- Inform the customer when onboarding is ready (or explain FAIL outcome and next steps).
