Unlocking Seamless Onboarding: The Magic Link Solution

Discovering the problem

The challenge at hand was users' inability to join existing organizations via copied links. This prompted a collaborative effort to devise an elegant solution that would streamline the process for both existing and new users.

The issue surfaced when users attempted to join organizations through copied links, only to find themselves facing a dead end. Recognizing the urgency, we swiftly mobilized to address this stumbling block in the user journey.

Planning with developers

Working closely with our full-stack developers, we conceptualized a solution centered around the implementation of "magic links." This approach ensured that users without an existing account could seamlessly join organizations they needed to be a part of.

To guide the implementation process, we created a comprehensive flowchart that outlined all the points of logic involved. This visual representation proved invaluable in maintaining clarity and coherence throughout the development phase.

Crafting visual designs

With the logic in place, it was time to bring the solution to life. I took charge of developing several screens and states that illustrated how users could generate magic links and accept invitations from their team members. Each screen was meticulously designed to provide a user-friendly experience, ensuring a seamless transition for both new and existing users.
