Onboarding Rule Checker
Catch onboarding drift before users hit it.
Mo checks pull requests against approved onboarding rules before merge. Required steps, review gates, confirmations, trial activation, and first-run flows — caught before they ship.

Conflicts with approved onboarding rule
Approved: Email confirm before trial
PR enables: trial before confirmation
CONFLICT WITH APPROVED RULE
Onboarding breaks quietly.
A required step gets skipped.
A confirmation screen disappears.
A user reaches trial access too early.
An approval gate is bypassed.
A first-run sequence no longer matches what product approved.
The product still loads. The flow still sort of works. But the onboarding experience is no longer the one the team agreed to ship.
Mo catches that before merge.
What Mo protects in onboarding flows
01
Required steps
Keep mandatory steps in place, including email confirmation, account setup, profile completion, and approvals.
02
Activation gates
Catch pull requests that activate users too early or skip required checks.
03
Review and verification screens
Protect screens and checkpoints that should appear before activation, payment, or access.
04
Branching flows
Catch changes that affect role-based or plan-based onboarding paths.
05
First-run experiences
Protect setup sequences, default states, and guidance the team intentionally designed.
Why onboarding changes are hard to catch
Onboarding logic often spans frontend, backend, flags, and conditional checks. A pull request may pass review and still break the intended path. Traditional code review focuses on implementation. Mo focuses on whether the flow still follows the approved rule.
Example onboarding rules
- Users must confirm email before starting a trial
- KYC review must complete before payouts are enabled
- Team setup requires at least one invited member before activation
- Billing setup appears only after company details are completed
- Guest users never enter the full onboarding flow
- New users must accept terms before account activation
- Trial users cannot access premium features before onboarding is complete
- Admin approval is required before partner accounts go live

Checks if the onboarding flow still matches what was approved.
That difference matters when the code works but the experience is wrong.
How teams use it
Scenario 01
Product-led SaaS onboarding
Protect trial activation rules, profile completion steps, and first-run setup.

How it works
Step 01
Approve an onboarding rule in Slack
Capture onboarding rules with @mo approve this in any Slack channel.
Step 02
Mo watches pull requests
Mo watches pull requests in GitHub or GitLab automatically after connecting.
Step 03
Flag flow drift before merge
If the code changes the onboarding flow in a way that breaks the rule, Mo flags it before merge.
Teams can also upload onboarding specs or flow notes and approve the rules they want enforced.
