Hi all – I am part of a developer community, Google Developers Group Cochin, based in Kerala. Its been sometime since we had the problem of our members missing out emails since they are sorted to other tabs. I talked with some other community managers including Asha here at TheRodinhoods and came to know that everyone has this problem. Here is a different UX flow for singup, which hopefully can help sort this out to a certain extent.
- Person signup with the most basic details.
- Send a confirmation email and show a gif asking him to move email to primary tab and confirm the email.
- Continue with further details.
Once the email is moved to the primary tab as shown in the gif, all future emails from your ID will be delivered to the primary inbox of the user!!

DIY gif creation tips :
- On Mac, you can use screen recorder (Quick Time Player > File > New Screen Recording) to record a video of yourself moving the email and convert video to gif here!
