How is seamless onboarding and integration facilitated?
Successful developer portal onboarding simplifies the initial access and learning curve. It provides clear, actionable steps and relevant resources, ultimately empowering developers to quickly integrate and utilize the APIs.
It is important to give just the right amount of information as this is the first impression your users experience. Build confidence and inspiration with your onboarding experience.
In this category, we are looking for portals that solve wicked zero-to-hero problems in outstanding ways. For example, easing integrators into a conceptually alien context, or, for another example, doing an outstanding job of onboarding people with special needs.
Onboarding as the first point of contact towards your API offerings can make or break adoption. Read more about the necessary elements for a seamless onboarding on the Pronovix Blog.
