Using and building templates

Built-in templates, customizing them, and creating your own from scratch.

Templates define the starting phases and steps for new clients. We ship three:

  • Standard MSP — 5 phases, 15 steps. Discovery → Environment → Security → Integrations → Go-Live.
  • HIPAA Healthcare — 5 phases, 18 steps. Adds risk assessment and compliance training.
  • Quick Start — 3 phases, 9 steps. For straightforward small-business onboardings.

Per-client customization

Once a client is created, you can fully customize their journey on the Journey tab — change phase names, add/remove steps, set custom due dates. The original template stays untouched.

Building your own templates

Head to Templates and click New template. Give it a name, then add phases and the steps that live under each. Save. Next time you create a client, your template shows up alongside the built-ins in the picker.

To iterate on an existing custom template, hit Edit on its row. Changes only affect new clients — existing ones already have their own copy of the journey and won't be touched.

Have a polished onboarding playbook you'd rather hand over than transcribe? Email it to support@onboardl.io and we'll load it in for you.
