Define Your Activation Metric

Before designing any onboarding flow, you need to know what success looks like.

Your activation metric is the action that indicates a user has experienced core value. Examples:

  • Slack: Sent 2,000 messages as a team
  • Dropbox: Uploaded first file
  • Zoom: Completed first meeting

Action: Write down the single action that correlates most strongly with long-term retention in your product.
