Welcome Checklist

A persistent, always-accessible checklist that greets new users and guides them through the essential first actions in your product. Unlike a one-time tour, this checklist remains visible in the UI so users can complete tasks at their own pace across multiple sessions.

When to Use This Template

Display this checklist immediately after account creation and keep it visible until all items are completed or the user explicitly dismisses it. It works best as a sidebar widget or bottom-right launcher that does not obstruct the main workflow.

Template Breakdown

1

Complete your profile

Prompt the user to add their name, avatar, and job title. Link directly to the profile settings page and auto-mark this step when the fields are saved.

2

Explore the dashboard

Ask the user to visit the main dashboard and spend a moment looking at the layout. Auto-complete this step when the dashboard page is viewed for at least 5 seconds.

3

Create your first item

Guide the user to create their first project, document, or record โ€” whatever the core unit of your product is. Link directly to the creation form.

4

Invite a teammate

Encourage the user to invite at least one colleague by email. Explain that the product is more powerful when used collaboratively.

5

Connect an integration

Suggest linking a tool the user already relies on (Slack, Google Drive, etc.) to show immediate network effects and embed your product into their workflow.

Best Practices

  • Auto-complete checklist items using event tracking rather than requiring users to manually check them off.
  • Show a progress bar (e.g., "3 of 5 complete") to leverage the completion effect and motivate users to finish.
  • Celebrate 100% completion with a confetti animation or congratulatory message to create a positive association.
  • Allow users to dismiss the checklist permanently after completion to keep the UI clean.
  • Send an email reminder if the checklist is partially complete after 48 hours.
