The Client Onboarding module is a 9-phase, 30-day pipeline for bringing a new managed-services client online. Once an MSA is signed, it creates an onboarding record, seeds a per-phase checklist, and fires the repeatable automation — the welcome email, an RMM enrollment token, kickoff report tickets, and compliance framework assignment. Technicians work the checklist and advance phases manually; everything is logged to an immutable audit trail. Open it at /onboarding.

When to use it

  • A new client’s MSA is executed and you’re starting their 30-day onboarding.
  • You want the welcome email, RMM token, and kickoff tickets generated for you.
  • You have a Nexie Discovery Blueprint to turn into concrete onboarding sub-tasks.
  • You need a tracked, auditable checklist across security, network, hardware, and compliance setup.

The nine phases

0 MSA & Setup → 1 Welcome & Access → 2 RMM Deployment → 3 Network Discovery → 4 Security Assessment → 5 Tool Deployment → 6 30-Day Program → 7 Hardware Audit → 8 Compliance. Phase 0 starts when the MSA is signed (target date = signed + 30 days); you advance through the rest manually. Each advance seeds that phase’s checklist, injects any blueprint items, auto-completes system items, and runs the phase’s automation. Blocking checklist items prevent advancing until they’re done.

What’s automated vs. tracked

Automated actions:
  • Create the RMM enrollment token.
  • Send the branded welcome email (or open a ticket if there’s no contact email).
  • Auto-assign compliance frameworks (from the blueprint, or inferred from the client’s industry).
  • Create recurring scheduled operations from the blueprint.
Tracked as report + ticket + checklist (a tech does the work): the Network Discovery, Security Assessment, and Hardware Audit phases summarize existing RMM agent data into report tickets — they don’t run live scans. RMM Deployment hands the enrollment token to a technician via a ticket rather than pushing an installer. Tool Deployment and the 30-Day Program are pure checklists.

Blueprint injection

If the client has a Discovery Blueprint, its recommendations are injected as concrete sub-tasks into the security-stack, software, hardware, and compliance phases at start.

Good to know

  • Phase advancement is manual — there’s no timer that auto-advances toward Day 30; the “30-day” is a target date and labels, not a scheduler.
  • Compliance-framework inference is keyword-based on the client’s industry and defaults to SOC 2 when nothing matches.
