Straight answer
A real trigger or stage change exists.
Best fit
Family Law Attorneys: Counsel has approved closing communication and the client needs final document access, remaining administrative instructions, and a private referral path.
Conditional fit
Relevant CRM event or stage change; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Main tradeoff
The client may assume every obligation is finished, miss a document-access deadline, or feel uncomfortable discussing a private case publicly.
