Onboard Free UserAbout this email
This is a welcome and onboarding email aimed at new users beginning a 2-week trial on a messaging platform. It is structured around three key setup steps: importing customer data, building targeted audiences, and configuring a sending domain for email. The tone is supportive and instructional, using clear calls to action linked to detailed setup guides, along with visual aids, and it encourages users to seek additional onboarding support or premium features if needed.
Customer.io journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** The email sequences three concrete setup actions (import, build, configure) in order of dependency, so users complete steps in the right sequence instead of getting stuck or bouncing between features. The pattern here is "dependency-ordered setup tasks"; you can lift it for any onboarding email where you need free users to activate through a mandatory workflow before they hit value or churn.
