A concrete onboarding flow to react to
The fastest way to plan onboarding is to have something to argue with. This tool generates an onboarding flow concept: an ordered list of steps, the single key action in each, and a progressive-disclosure strategy that keeps the early experience simple. Use it as a straw-man you adapt, prune, and re-order.
How it works
The generator assembles a flow from three inputs:
- Step count — a compact number (three to six), because shorter flows activate more users.
- Key action per step — drawn from a pool of real activation actions (set a goal, connect a data source, invite a teammate, complete a first task) and ordered so each step builds on the last and ends on the core value moment.
- Disclosure strategy — how complexity is revealed: just-in-time tooltips, a checklist that persists after signup, optional skip-able tours, or a guided empty state.
Each step is written as a short instruction so you can read the flow top to bottom and immediately see where the value moment lands.
Tips and notes
- Anchor the flow on one activation metric. Every step should move the user closer to it; cut steps that do not.
- Let users skip. A forced multi-step tour increases drop-off. Make depth optional and keep the required path tiny.
- The last step should be the value moment itself, not a “you’re all set” screen. End by doing the thing, not by promising it.
