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

Required steps

Keep mandatory steps in place, including email confirmation, account setup, profile completion, and approvals.

Activation gates

Catch pull requests that activate users too early or skip required checks.

Review and verification screens

Protect screens and checkpoints that should appear before activation, payment, or access.

Branching flows

Catch changes that affect role-based or plan-based onboarding paths.

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

A different kind of merge check

Code review

Checks if the implementation looks right.

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.

Scenario 02

Approval-based onboarding

Protect review gates, compliance checks, and manual approval requirements.

Scenario 03

Multi-role onboarding

Protect different entry flows for admins, members, guests, partners, or operators.

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.
