Account Health & Auto-Triage
Monitor account health scores, detect at-risk customers early, and trigger automated save plans.
Overview
Account Health in SalesOS provides a comprehensive, real-time assessment of every customer relationship. By aggregating signals from engagement patterns, support interactions, product usage, sentiment scores, and renewal timelines, the system assigns each account a health score that helps customer success teams prioritize their time and intervene before churn occurs.
The Auto-Triage system extends this capability by automatically detecting declining accounts and initiating remediation workflows — alerting the right people, creating save plans, and escalating critical situations without waiting for a human to notice the warning signs.
Health Score Components
The account health score is a weighted composite of multiple signal categories. Each component contributes to the overall score on a 0-100 scale.
Engagement Score
Measures how actively the account interacts with your team and platform:
- Email open and reply rates
- Meeting frequency and attendance
- Login frequency and session duration
- Feature adoption breadth
- Content consumption (help docs, webinars, training)
Support Ticket Activity
Evaluates the volume, severity, and resolution time of support interactions:
- Number of open tickets
- Average resolution time
- Ticket severity distribution
- Escalation frequency
- Customer satisfaction (CSAT) on resolved tickets
Product Usage
Tracks how deeply the account uses your product relative to their plan:
- Daily/weekly active users vs licensed seats
- Feature utilization percentage
- API call volume trends
- Data volume and growth
- Integration health (connected vs disconnected)
NPS and Sentiment
Incorporates direct feedback and inferred sentiment:
- Most recent NPS score
- NPS trend (improving, stable, declining)
- Sentiment from support conversations
- Sentiment from email communications
- Survey response rates (non-response is a negative signal)
Renewal Proximity
Factors in how close the account is to their renewal date:
- Days until renewal
- Renewal amount relative to account lifetime value
- Historical renewal behavior (on-time, late, contested)
- Expansion vs contraction signals
- Multi-year vs annual contract type
Stakeholder Changes
Monitors the stability of the buying committee and key contacts:
- Champion departure or role change
- Executive sponsor turnover
- New decision-maker introduction
- Contact bounced emails (departed company)
- Reduction in engaged contacts
Health Tiers
Based on the composite score, accounts are classified into five tiers:
| Tier | Score Range | Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thriving | 85-100 | Green | Deeply engaged, expanding, strong advocates |
| Healthy | 70-84 | Light Green | Stable relationship, consistent usage, no concerns |
| Needs Attention | 50-69 | Yellow | Declining signals, early warning indicators present |
| At Risk | 30-49 | Orange | Multiple negative signals, intervention required |
| Critical | 0-29 | Red | Severe disengagement, imminent churn risk |
Tier thresholds are configurable per organization. You can adjust boundaries to match your customer base characteristics and risk tolerance.
Accessing Account Health
Health Dashboard
Navigate to Accounts > Health Dashboard to see a portfolio-level view:
- Distribution chart — shows how many accounts fall in each health tier
- Trend graph — tracks the overall portfolio health score over time
- Movers list — accounts that moved up or down a tier in the past 7/30 days
- Segment breakdown — health distribution by customer segment, tier, or industry
- Team view — health metrics grouped by account owner or CSM
Per-Account Health View
On any individual account record, the Health tab displays:
- Current composite score with tier classification
- Component-level breakdown with individual scores
- Score trend over the past 3, 6, and 12 months
- Key contributing factors (positive and negative)
- Recent signals that moved the score
- Active triage actions (if any)
- Recommended next steps
Health in List Views
Account list views include a Health column showing the tier indicator (colored dot or label). You can sort and filter accounts by health tier to quickly surface those needing attention.
Trends Over Time
SalesOS stores daily health score snapshots for every account, enabling rich trend analysis:
- Score trajectory — line chart showing score movement over weeks and months
- Component trends — individual signal categories plotted over time to identify which area is driving changes
- Velocity indicators — rate of score change (rapidly declining vs slowly eroding)
- Seasonal patterns — identify accounts that dip during certain quarters due to budget cycles or staffing changes
- Cohort analysis — compare health trajectories of accounts acquired in the same period
Trend data helps distinguish between temporary dips (a key contact on vacation) and structural decline (fundamental disengagement).
Auto-Triage System
The Auto-Triage system continuously monitors health scores and automatically initiates intervention workflows when predefined conditions are met. It eliminates the delay between problem detection and response.
How Auto-Triage Works
- Detection — The system identifies accounts whose health score drops below a threshold or declines by more than a configurable number of points within a time window.
- Classification — The decline is categorized by primary driver (engagement, support, usage, sentiment, stakeholder).
- Action Selection — Based on the severity and driver, the system selects the appropriate response from your configured playbook.
- Execution — The selected actions are triggered automatically (alerts, tasks, sequences, escalations).
- Tracking — All triage actions are logged and tracked to resolution.
Triage Trigger Conditions
Configure triggers in Settings > Account Health > Auto-Triage Rules:
| Trigger Type | Example Configuration |
|---|---|
| Score drops below threshold | Health score falls below 50 |
| Score declines by N points | Score drops 15+ points in 14 days |
| Tier change | Account moves from Healthy to Needs Attention |
| Component alert | Engagement score drops below 30 |
| Inactivity | No login for 21+ consecutive days |
| Stakeholder departure | Champion contact marked as departed |
Triage Actions
When a trigger fires, the system can execute one or more of the following actions:
Alert
Send immediate notifications to the account owner, CSM, or manager via email, Slack, or in-app notification. Alerts include the account name, current score, decline magnitude, and primary contributing factors.
Create Save Plan
Automatically generate a structured save plan based on the decline driver. The plan includes recommended actions, suggested timeline, and success metrics. Save plans appear on the account record and in the CSM's task queue.
Escalate
Route the account to a manager or executive for review. Escalation triggers when the score drops into Critical tier or when a save plan has been active for a configurable period without improvement.
Trigger Sequence
Enroll the account's key contacts in a re-engagement sequence: check-in emails, value reminder messages, executive outreach, or renewal discussion invitations.
Create Task
Generate specific tasks for the account team: schedule a QBR, conduct a health check call, perform a product training session, or review the support ticket backlog.
Reassign
Transfer the account to a different CSM or specialist when the current owner has not resolved the triage within the expected timeframe.

Health by Segment
The segmented health view reveals patterns across your customer base:
By Customer Tier
Compare health distributions across Enterprise, Mid-Market, and SMB accounts. Enterprise accounts may have more stakeholder risk; SMB accounts may show more usage volatility.
By Industry
Identify whether certain industries trend healthier than others. Regulatory changes, seasonal patterns, or product-market fit gaps may explain systematic differences.
By Tenure
Analyze health by account age. New accounts in their first 90 days often show dips as they onboard; mature accounts may decline slowly due to complacency in engagement.
By ARR Band
Higher-ARR accounts may warrant different thresholds and more aggressive triage than smaller accounts. Segment your portfolio to allocate attention proportionally to revenue impact.
Predictive Churn Indicators
Beyond the current health score, SalesOS identifies predictive indicators that correlate with future churn based on historical patterns:
- Multi-threading collapse — when engaged contacts drop from 5+ to 1-2
- Usage cliff — sudden 50%+ drop in weekly active users
- Support silence — an account that previously filed tickets stops entirely (may indicate they have given up)
- Meeting avoidance — declined or cancelled QBRs and check-ins
- Competitor signals — visits to competitor pages or mentions in communications
- Invoice disputes — payment delays or billing inquiries after previously clean history
- Feature regression — stops using features they previously adopted
Each indicator carries a churn probability multiplier that adjusts the overall risk assessment.
Configuring Weights and Thresholds
Admins can customize the health scoring model in Settings > Account Health > Score Configuration:
Component Weights
Adjust how much each signal category contributes to the composite score:
| Component | Default Weight | Configurable Range |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement | 25% | 5-50% |
| Support Tickets | 15% | 5-30% |
| Product Usage | 25% | 5-50% |
| NPS/Sentiment | 15% | 5-30% |
| Renewal Proximity | 10% | 0-25% |
| Stakeholder Stability | 10% | 0-25% |
Weights must sum to 100%. Adjust them based on which signals are most predictive for your customer base.
Scoring Thresholds
Define what constitutes a good, neutral, or bad signal within each component. For example:
- Engagement: Daily login = 100 points, weekly = 70, monthly = 40, none in 30 days = 10
- Support: 0 open tickets = 100, 1-2 = 80, 3-5 = 50, 6+ = 20
- Usage: >80% seat utilization = 100, 50-80% = 70, 25-50% = 40, <25% = 15
Tier Boundaries
Adjust the score ranges that define each health tier to match your portfolio's distribution and operational capacity.
Integration with Other Modules
Account health integrates throughout SalesOS:
- Renewal Management — health score appears on renewal records and influences renewal likelihood forecasts
- Expansion Opportunities — thriving accounts surface as upsell/cross-sell candidates
- Executive Briefings — health trends included in automated executive summaries
- Forecasting — health-adjusted renewal probability feeds into revenue forecasts
- Deal Rooms — at-risk indicators visible to the full account team
Best Practices
- Calibrate weights with historical data. Analyze churned accounts from the past year to determine which signal categories were most predictive, then weight accordingly.
- Set different thresholds by segment. Enterprise and SMB accounts behave differently. A 3-person startup logging in weekly is healthy; a 500-seat enterprise with 5 daily logins is not.
- Act on trends, not snapshots. A score of 60 that was 80 last month is more concerning than a score of 55 that has been stable for six months.
- Keep save plans short and actionable. Plans with more than 5-7 steps over 3 weeks tend to lose momentum. Focus on high-impact interventions.
- Review triage effectiveness monthly. Track what percentage of triaged accounts recover vs churn. Refine your playbooks based on what actually works.
- Involve the whole account team. Health is not just the CSM's responsibility. Sales, support, product, and executives all influence account outcomes.
- Do not over-automate. Auto-triage should handle detection and initial response, but complex situations require human judgment. Use automation to alert and prepare, not to replace relationship management.
- Communicate health internally before externally. Ensure your team is aligned on the account's status and plan before reaching out to the customer.
- Update stakeholder maps regularly. Stakeholder changes are among the strongest churn predictors. Make it a habit to verify contacts quarterly.
- Celebrate recoveries. When a save plan succeeds and an account returns to Healthy status, acknowledge the team's effort and document what worked for future playbooks.
