How to set up an Onboard New Member
Select the Onboard New Member template
Choose your Audience
Pick from two options to define who receives the survey:
Direct Users: Select individuals to receive the survey via DM
Slack Channel: Post the survey in a channel where all members can respond
Schedule your survey:
Suggested recurrence: One time (ad-hoc)
Response duration: 14 days.
Determine who can see the Results:
Make responses visible to everyone (either in real time or after the poll closes)
Restrict visibility (so only you can see results)
Enable anonymous responses (available for any poll/survey)
When you're all set, hit Publish. Geekbot will ping your team as per your delivery settings and responses will arrive soon enough. 🎉
Best practices
Launch in week one to capture first impressions while they’re fresh
Use the "Welcome message" to explain why you’re asking, to boost response rates and honesty
Act on access or tooling gaps immediately and close the loop with respondents
