BFM #73: How to create effortless onboarding 👏 (FREE)

The techniques that Slack have used to create an effortless onboarding flow, and why you might not want to copy them.

Hey đź‘‹ 

There are two things I believe to be true about Slack:

  • The individual key flows feel effortless and simple.

  • The cumulative experience feels noisy and distracting.

So this month, I’ve been hyper-focusing on those first few minutes of Slack.

Which techniques do they use? How have they made configuring a B2B tool feel so easy? Is this why my channels are full of weird memes?

When you’ve finished, hit reply and give me some feedback—I’d love to know what I could be doing better.

Or, head over to this LinkedIn post and leave a comment. I reply to everyone there, and it helps me out having a single place for feedback.

(Plus, let’s be honest, it does me a favour and helps that post do well).

See you next week for some UX Bites.
