Why this helps

- Reduce the need to remember every welcome follow-up.
- Keep onboarding resources easier to find.

- 2Give Notis a plain-language instruction to retrieve the relevant starter guide for new-member events.
- 3Pick New Chat Member and choose a channel for workflow reports.
- 4Test with a real group member event and confirm the returned guide matches your onboarding content.
