Quick Answer

User Onboarding Workflow is a workflow template that users who don't activate within the first week rarely convert to paying customers.

Why This Workflow?

Users who don't activate within the first week rarely convert to paying customers. This workflow guides new users through product setup, first value moment, and activation milestones with timely nudges.

How It Works

  1. Step 1: Welcome email is sent immediately after signup with getting started guide.
  2. Step 2: Profile setup prompts user to complete their account.
  3. Step 3: Product tour highlights key features and first actions.
  4. Step 4: First action prompt encourages the user to complete their first task.
  5. Step 5: Activation milestone is tracked (e.g., created first diagram, invited team member).
  6. Step 6: Follow-up emails nurture users who haven't activated.

Alternatives

Generic welcome emails have low engagement. Product-led growth tools like Appcues or Pendo cost $10K+/year. This workflow helps teams design their onboarding funnel before investing in tooling.
