Onboard Free UserAbout this email
This email is a detailed welcome and onboarding message from Calendly, designed to introduce new users to the platform and encourage immediate engagement during their free 14-day trial of the Teams plan. Structurally, the email uses a mix of branded images, concise instructional sections with clear calls to action, and multiple links guiding the user to connect their calendar, video conferencing, and set up availability, event types, and booking pages. The tone is friendly, encouraging, and supportive, aiming to simplify the setup process and maximize the trial experience through easy-to-follow steps and helpful video content.
Calendly journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** Calendly front-loads the specific setup actions (connect calendar, add video conferencing, create event types) as discrete, clickable steps rather than burying them in prose, so new users know exactly what to do in the first 30 seconds and can complete one task without deciding what comes next. The pattern here is "remove decision friction by sequencing actions"; you can lift it for any onboard-free-user email where activation requires multiple dependent steps and time-to-first-value matters more than feature storytelling.
