Everything you need to build high-converting onboarding flows

Journey orchestration

Design automated onboarding sequences visually

Map out your entire onboarding flow on a single canvas. No coding required, no guesswork involved.

  • Drag-and-drop journey builder to create multi-step onboarding sequences with branching logic for different user segments.
  • Pre-built onboarding templates to launch welcome series, feature discovery flows, and activation campaigns in minutes.
  • Time-based and event-based triggers to send the right message when users complete a step, skip a feature, or go inactive.
Behavioral triggers

React to user actions in real time

Stop guessing what users need. Let their behavior guide the onboarding experience.

  • Event-driven messaging that responds to signups, first logins, feature usage, and inactivity automatically.
  • Progress-aware branching to send different messages based on how far users have moved through onboarding.
  • Drop-off detection to identify users who abandon onboarding and re-engage them with targeted nudges before they churn.
Multi-channel activation

Reach users on the channels that work

Meet new users where they are. Combine channels for a cohesive onboarding experience that drives activation.

  • Push notifications for timely reminders and progress updates that bring users back to the app.
  • In-app messages for contextual tips, feature highlights, and guided walkthroughs at the moment of relevance.
  • Email sequences for deeper onboarding content, tutorials, and re-engagement of users who have gone quiet.
Personalized paths

Tailor onboarding to every user segment

One-size-fits-all onboarding leaves value on the table. Deliver experiences that match each user’s goals and context.

  • Segment by use case, role, or plan to create distinct onboarding paths with audience segmentation that speaks to what each user cares about.
  • Dynamic content personalization to address users by name, reference their specific goals, and highlight features relevant to their use case.
  • Progressive disclosure to introduce features gradually instead of overwhelming users with everything at once.
Activation analytics

Track onboarding performance and optimize

See exactly where users activate, stall, or drop off. Make data-driven improvements to your onboarding funnel.

  • Onboarding funnel analytics to track completion rates at every step and identify where users get stuck.
  • A/B testing to experiment with different messages, timing, and channel combinations to find what drives the highest activation.
  • Retention tracking to measure how onboarding improvements impact Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30 retention rates.
