How to create a custom onboarding flow in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up a New Screen

Alright, let's get started! First, you'll want to create a brand new screen in your Adalo project just for the onboarding flow. Think of this screen as the welcome mat for your users when they first step into your app.

Step 2: Add Onboarding Screen Components

Now, on this new screen, you'll need to add all the bits and pieces that make up the onboarding experience. This could be images, text, and those handy navigation buttons like "next" and "previous." Make it look good and be informative. You want your users to feel at home right away.

Step 3: Create Additional Onboarding Screens

Next up, you'll need more screens to complete the onboarding journey. Just copy that first screen and tweak each one to cover different parts or features of your app. Don't forget to link those navigation buttons to the right screens so users can smoothly move through the flow.

Step 4: Set Up a User Property

In your Adalo database, set up a property for user accounts to keep track of whether they've finished the onboarding process. A simple boolean property named OnboardingComplete will do the trick.

Step 5: Add Conditional Actions

Time to get a bit technical! Set up conditional actions to check if a user has completed the onboarding flow. For instance, when a user logs in, add an action that checks the OnboardingComplete property. If it's false, send them to the onboarding screen. If it's true, take them straight to the main app screen.

Step 6: Finalize Onboarding Flow Completion

On the final onboarding screen, add a button that marks the onboarding as done. Attach an action to this button that updates the OnboardingComplete property to true. Once that's done, navigate the user to the main app screen. Easy peasy!

Step 7: Test the Onboarding Flow

Finally, give your app a test run using Adalo's preview feature to make sure everything works smoothly. Check that new users are directed to the onboarding screens on their first login and to the main app screen after they finish the onboarding flow.

Make any tweaks you need based on what you see to ensure all the transitions and conditions are spot on.
