BFM #73: How to create effortless onboarding đź‘Ź (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.
