Onboarding Stagnation Nudge

Onboarding Stagnation Nudge

Available from: v0.1.255

Overview

The Onboarding Stagnation Nudge is a scheduled workflow that automatically identifies organizations that have not completed their onboarding setup and sends a targeted reminder to the organization owner. This helps reduce drop-off during the setup phase without requiring any manual intervention from your team.


How It Works

The workflow runs once every day at 09:00 UTC.

On each run, it evaluates every organization against the following criteria:

ConditionDetail
Incomplete onboarding stepsAt least one onboarding_steps record has no completedAt timestamp
Account ageThe organization was created more than 3 days ago
Notification cooldownNo nudge notification has been sent to this organization in the past 7 days

If all three conditions are met, the workflow triggers the following actions for that organization's owner:

  1. In-app notification — delivered inside the platform listing each outstanding onboarding step.
  2. Email notification — sent to the owner's registered email address, containing the same list of remaining steps with a direct action link for each one.

Notification Content

Both the in-app and email notifications include:

  • A summary of which onboarding steps remain incomplete
  • A direct link for each step so the owner can navigate straight to the relevant action

Frequency & Cooldown

  • Schedule: Daily at 0 9 * * * (09:00 UTC)
  • Cooldown: An organization will not receive a nudge more than once every 7 days, preventing notification fatigue.
  • Automatic stop: Once all onboarding_steps records for an organization have a completedAt value, the organization will no longer match the trigger condition and will receive no further nudges.

FAQs

Will an owner receive multiple emails on the same day? No. The 7-day cooldown ensures only one nudge is sent per organization per week.

What happens after all steps are completed? The workflow will no longer match that organization — no further nudge notifications will be sent.

Can an owner opt out? Opt-out behaviour is governed by your platform's notification preferences. The workflow respects the notification dispatch layer, which may honour subscription or preference settings.
