Boost Early Engagement
A smooth and engaging onboarding experience motivates users to stay active, return often, and interact with others, ensuring they get the most out of your community from the start.
For users:
- Upon their first login after signing up, users will receive a welcome message from the site owner along with a to-do list of tasks designed to help them become familiar with the community.
- Users can navigate through the to-do list step-by-step (using "Next" and "Previous" buttons), ensuring they fully understand each task and what the site owner expects for them to get acclimated to the community.
- On subsequent visits to the Getting Started board, completed tasks will be marked as "read," allowing users to quickly jump to the tasks they haven’t reviewed yet.
- Users have the flexibility to close the to-do list at any time, providing them with full control over their onboarding experience.
For admins:
- Enable the Getting Started App
Admins have the option to enable the Getting Started app, allowing the Getting Started board along with the to-do lists to be displayed to users on the frontend. This feature can be disabled by the admin when creating the to-do list.
- Manage To-Do Lists
- Admins can easily create and manage to-do lists for both the web and mobile apps, with full support for multiple languages.
- Admins have the ability to edit or delete specific to-do lists as needed.
- When creating a to-do list, admins can upload photos in either the Description Section or the Photo Section:
- Description Section: Photos uploaded here will appear inline with the text description.
- Photo Section: Photos added in this section will be displayed in a slide format. Users can navigate through the images by clicking "Next" and "Previous." The photo section will be positioned directly below the description section.
