What they did
A push-notification onboarding flow references the tasks the user chose in onboarding, e.g. 'you said you would study today, don't forget to do your studies'.
- Stage
- Early (onboarding / first days)
This shipped together with other changes, so the result can't be credited to this alone.
“we created a onboarding flow that is connected to the task you you chose. So to remind you, okay, like, you said that you would, I don't know, study today”
