Early access. This section documents the Onboarding Hub in Mention Me, currently available as a beta. For Classic docs, see Onboarding.
The Onboarding Hub is the checklist that takes you from signup to a launched programme. Open it from Onboarding in the sidebar. The page title is Get your referral programme live, and nothing goes live until you say so.

The Onboarding Hub, with the three stages and a progress bar.

The hub stays visible until live tracking is confirmed.

The Three Stages

The hub is split into three numbered stages. A progress bar at the top shows how far you are. The launch checklist stays locked until you prepare to launch. Finish setup to unlock that stage.

Work Through the Hub

Each row is an onboarding step. Click a row to open its page or dialog. A Do this next badge marks the first incomplete step. You can Assign a step to a teammate. Completed steps show who finished them.

Key Concepts

  • Onboarding Hub. The checklist page. Not the same as the Setup Wizard you completed at signup.
  • Onboarding step. One row on the hub, with a status such as pending, complete, locked or detecting.
  • Tracking integration method. How you install the tag: Shopify, Google Tag Manager, JavaScript or API. It changes the copy you see on later steps.
  • Prepare to launch. Unlocks the launch checklist. Once only, and you cannot go back.
  • Launch. Turning on a campaign so customers can share.
For why those last two are different, see Understanding Prepare to Launch and Campaign Launch.
