13 Free Onboarding Email Templates

Onboarding mail is the first thing a new account receives, which makes it the most-opened and least-forgiving message a product sends. These templates carry one call to action each, because a welcome that offers three next steps reliably gets none of them clicked.

Why onboarding mail breaks differently

Best of these 13 scores 99 out of 100 across 21 clients, and all of them bottom out in Outlook Classic at 61.

The failure mode in onboarding is almost never visual. It is a button that stops being clickable outside its text, or a verification link rewritten by a security scanner into something the reader will not trust. Both survive a screenshot review and both cost you the activation, which is why the per-client table on each page below matters more than the preview image above it.

Scores are computed by the Emailens engine from per-client support data derived from caniemail.com (MIT).
