monday marketplace starting-point onboarding to main workflow

Set one monday feature or template as the starting point so a fresh install lands on the workflow that proves the app first.

Why this can grow a startup

A lot of apps lose the user right after install because the first screen is neutral when it should be opinionated. monday lets developers choose a specific feature, a template, or both as the onboarding starting point. That means the first-use path can open on the workflow that best explains the product instead of dumping the user into a generic blank state. The docs also let developers test that onboarding flow from the Installed outside the marketplace section before it goes live, which makes first-use friction easier to catch before it becomes review fuel.

Company example

monday's onboarding configuration lets developers pick a specific feature or template as the starting point, requires users to choose the destination workspace or board, and allows the flow to be tested before marketplace launch from the Installed outside the marketplace section.

When to use it

Use this when Product-led Growth, Onboarding, Marketplaces is relevant to activation, first-run ux, template onboarding and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.

When not to use it

Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
