Property: ChurchWiseAI Category: Onboarding
Tier:
starter-chat
Persona: pastor-new
Touchpoint: /onboarding, /admin/[token]
Preconditions
- Fresh signup completed
- Email verified via magic link
- Landed on dashboard after completing onboarding
Steps
| # | Action | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complete signup and verify email | Magic link clicked. Redirected to onboarding form (church name, phone, timezone, etc). |
| 2 | Complete onboarding form | Form submits. User redirected to /admin/[token] dashboard. |
| 3 | Check for on-screen explanation | Dashboard shows welcome banner or getting-started guide (e.g. 'Next steps: configure your chatbot'). |
| 4 | Check for email explanation | Welcome email sent within 2 min. Explains what to do next (not just 'you're signed up'). |
| 5 | Look for video or help resource | Getting-started video or help article linked prominently on dashboard. |
Known Failure Modes
- Dashboard loads but no explanation what to do — user confused (original bug)
- Welcome email only says 'you're signed up' with no next steps — no guidance
- No getting-started guide visible — first-time experience is blank page

Notes
BUG REGRESSION TEST. Previously: new pastors signed up and reached a blank dashboard with no explanation of next steps. This left them confused. Fix added: getting-started guide on dashboard + email with next steps. Regression test ensures explanation content is present.
