Step 1
Map the activation journey
Use Taskade to workshop and document your activation milestones: signup, first key action, habit loop, and upgrade trigger. Define the behavior events that signal progress at each stage.
Step 2
Build the onboarding chatbot
Create a Chatbase agent trained on your product docs, FAQs, and use-case examples. Embed it in your app to answer questions and guide users to their first value moment in real time.
Step 3
Write onboarding email sequences
Use Claude to draft a 7-email onboarding sequence, each email triggered by a specific user action or inaction, with dynamic content slots for user segment and use case.
Step 4
Automate behavioral triggers
Use Make to connect your product analytics events to your email platform and CRM. Trigger the right email, in-app message, or sales alert based on which activation milestone a user has or hasn't hit.
Step 5
Monitor and optimize with Gong
Route onboarding call recordings through Gong to identify the most common questions, objections, and drop-off moments. Feed insights back into the chatbot and email copy monthly.
Time Required
