Welcome new students to your CampusGroups platform with the same excitement you have welcoming them to campus with User Onboardings!

User Onboardings are a way to build engagement and connection with your users before they’ve even joined their first group.

Multiple User Onboardings can be created to give customized experiences to different groups of users.

Create a User Onboarding

  • Click on Admin

  • Click on the User Onboardings dropdown and select Create Onboarding (we also recommend duplicating the Template Onboarding)
