  2. 2

    The customer names the first goal and implementation owner.

  3. 3

    The kickoff preference controls the final route.

Customization

Replace the example policy with the way your team works.

Onboarding should reflect what your customer bought and how your team delivers it. Replace the example package, tools, ownership language, and resources before publishing.

  1. Step 1

    Match the purchased offer

    Replace the example plans with the packages or services customers can actually arrive from.

  2. Step 2

    Define the first outcome

    Tune the goal and timeline questions to the milestones your onboarding team can support.

  3. Step 3

    Name the handoff owner

    Ask for the customer-side owner and connect notifications or webhooks to the right internal team.

  4. Step 4

    Connect both preferences

    Replace the calendar placeholder and attach the correct guide, checklist, or confirmation to the self-serve route.

Use it for the right job

Onboarding starts after the customer says yes.

Customer onboarding routing FAQ

Questions before you use the flow

What is a customer onboarding form?

A customer onboarding form collects the goals, package, team, tools, timeline, implementation owner, and setup preference needed to begin delivery after a purchase or accepted engagement.

What questions should a client onboarding form include?

Ask what was purchased, who will use it, the first desired outcome, existing tools, target launch timing, implementation owner, and preferred kickoff path. Add only information the delivery team will use.

Is this the same as a project inquiry form?

No. A project inquiry happens before acceptance and helps evaluate fit. Customer onboarding happens after the sale and gathers the context needed to deliver the agreed product or service.

Does the onboarding template use AI qualification?

No. The included route uses deterministic logic on the customer’s kickoff preference. AI wording can be enabled separately, but it does not control the route.

Can customers choose between a call and a guide?

Yes. The included preference question connects “Yes, book me in” to a calendar destination and the other answer to a setup-guide ending. Both can be edited.

Can I send onboarding answers to another system?

Yes. Every plan supports webhooks for complete submission payloads. Qualyo does not replace a customer-success or project-management system.
