OUTCOMES
Turn onboarding into a reliable path to activation
FullSession connects onboarding behavior to activation, early churn, and long-term value—so your team can design flows that actually get users to first value.
Higher activation rates
See exactly which steps in onboarding cause drop-offs and confusion, then fix them with evidence from real sessions.
Faster time-to-first-value
Measure how long it takes new users to reach their first key action and streamline the path with behavior-led insights.
Less early churn
Spot patterns in users who leave before activation and address the friction points that quietly shrink your customer base.
TEAMS
Built for teams that own the first-time user experience
Give every team working on onboarding a shared source of truth for where flows break and how to fix them.
Product managers
Understand where users fail to complete key onboarding steps, prioritize fixes, and validate changes with real behavior and activation metrics.
Growth & lifecycle
Tie campaigns and nudges to onboarding behavior, then see how changes affect activation and early churn—not just click-through rates.
UX & product design
Watch how users move through walkthroughs, tooltips, and checklists, and spot where they hesitate, rage-click, or abandon flows.
Engineering & support
Connect onboarding errors and failed submissions to specific sessions so you can debug faster and prevent users from getting stuck on technical issues.
Instrument and visualize your onboarding funnel
Map your signup and onboarding steps into a funnel—signup, email verification, profile setup, first key action—and track completion and drop-off in one view.
See behavior behind every step
Click into any step to watch session replays, see heatmaps, and review in-app feedback so you understand what users actually experienced, not just where they dropped.
Fix friction and measure impact
Use insights from behavior and feedback to adjust copy, flows, and UI—and then track how those changes affect activation rate, time-to-first-value, and early churn.
USE CASES
Tackle your biggest onboarding challenges first
Whether you’re fighting low activation or slow time-to-value, FullSession helps you identify and fix what’s holding new users back.
Increase activation
Find where new users stall in onboarding, from email verification to first key action, and ship improvements that lift activation rates.
Reduce early churn
Compare behavior between users who activate and those who leave early to understand which friction points drive churn before value.
Improve in-app onboarding
Watch how users interact with walkthroughs, tooltips, and checklists, and refine these flows based on real behavior—not guesses.
Debug onboarding errors fast
Tie failed signups, API errors, and validation issues to session replays so engineering can reproduce and resolve onboarding blockers quickly.
CUSTOMER INSIGHT
“FullSession showed us exactly where new users were dropping out in onboarding — and why. When we fixed the friction, we saw more users reach their first key action.”
What is user onboarding analytics?
User onboarding analytics tracks how new users move through your signup and onboarding flows so you can see where they complete, where they drop off, and how quickly they reach first value.
FullSession combines funnels, session replay, heatmaps, and feedback to show both the numbers and the experience behind onboarding—helping you design flows that reliably turn signups into activated, retained users.
User onboarding analytics FAQ
Answers to common questions about measuring and improving onboarding, activation, and early churn.
What is user onboarding analytics and why does it matter?
User onboarding analytics tracks how new users move through your signup and onboarding flows so you can see where they succeed, where they drop off, and how quickly they reach first value. When you understand this journey, you can design better experiences that improve activation and reduce early churn.
Which onboarding metrics should we track?
Most teams focus on onboarding completion rate, activation rate, time-to-first-key-action, and first-session engagement. FullSession helps you track these metrics while also showing the behavior behind the numbers so you know what to change when metrics slip.
Can FullSession track in-app onboarding like walkthroughs and tooltips?
Yes. FullSession can capture how users interact with in-app onboarding elements such as walkthroughs, tooltips, checklists, and prompts. You can see where users ignore or abandon these flows and use that insight to make them simpler and more effective.
How does FullSession help debug onboarding errors?
When users run into errors or failed submissions during onboarding, FullSession ties those events to session replays and technical context. That makes it easier for engineering and support to reproduce issues and prevent them from blocking new users.
Is FullSession user onboarding analytics privacy-friendly?
Yes. FullSession is built with privacy controls so you can mask sensitive fields and align with standards like GDPR and CCPA. You get the behavior you need to fix onboarding without exposing unnecessary personal data.
