The General Onboarding sequence is a special, dedicated sequence that every organization has by default on Vome. It is distinct from regular sequences you create, and it serves a specific purpose in the application flow.
When a new applicant submits an application form on Vome, they can be automatically routed through the General Onboarding sequence before they become a full candidate in your database. This makes it the first structured touchpoint in your intake process.
The General Onboarding sequence works exactly like any other sequence in terms of step types, settings, and visibility. The key difference is its role: it is the default sequence that new applicants are funneled through as part of the initial onboarding experience, separate from any role-specific or program-specific sequences you may have set up.
The General Onboarding sequence is ideal for steps that apply universally to every new applicant, regardless of the opportunity or program they are joining. Examples include:
Each organization has only one General Onboarding sequence. It cannot be duplicated or replaced with a different sequence in this role. You can, however, edit and update its steps at any time to reflect your current intake requirements.
After a user completes the General Onboarding sequence, you can use Sequence Automations to route them into role-specific sequences, assign them to opportunities, or add them to the database automatically.
