Hi all, we’re currently revamping how user management in Softr works overall along with new user-related blocks.
In a nutshell: Everything around login, sign-up, and authentication will be a lot smarter and follow modern standards in terms of UX & security — with minimal effort from your end.
After that, we are planning on letting you create an "onboarding flow" for your users (invited or self-sign up) where you can require them to enter some profile info, agree to certain documents, or wait for approval form your end.
But as JJ mentioned, you can already do this today by creating an “onboarding incomplete” user group (condition-based) and updating user records once they’ve gone through it!
However, we don’t yet have a plan to offer this pre-signup because:
- The outcome seems to be the same as requiring them to enter these info post-signups.
- From UX + business perspective, it’s also better that they first create an account → and then complete these extra steps, especially when the extra steps required are rather long. If they drop off before signing up, you’d have no way of following up, and all their progress will be lost → Making them less likely to come back.
- If it’s simply about routing them to the correct signup form based on some questions, you can already do that today with our new “conditional form ending” feature (announcement coming soon ;))
But if you have any strong reason why it has to happen pre-signup, we’d love to hear it and will definitely take it into consideration.
