Install

The magic of Appcues is unlocked by installing our SDK, a snippet of JavaScript much like the tags you’d add to a website. You can add it directly to your product’s codebase or simply integrate Appcues with Segment. Once installed, we’ll start tracking events, and you’ll be ready to publish a flow! To learn more, check out our Installation docs or view our open-source mobile SDKs.

Create

You’ll use the Appcues Builder to create flows and track new events. Anyone on your team can design and edit flows right on top of your product and set up tracking for key user behaviors. No code, just clicks. Ready to start making things? Get Appcues’ Builder now.

Target

Once you’ve created a flow, you’ll use Appcues Studio to choose who should see it and what action(s) you want them to take. Create and target user segments based on virtually any behavior (like the completion of another flow or using a specific feature) or attribute (like job title or location). Remember those events you tracked using Appcues’ Builder? Go ahead, use those too!

Publish

Before you publish your new flow, you can preview the experience in its entirety—and in context—using test mode. Share it with your team or just get that little boost of confidence you need to hit the publish button. When you go live, our SDK knows to start showing your Appcues flow to the audience that you targeted. Unpublishing a flow is just as easy.

Measure

With our Events Explorer, you can easily measure product usage and adoption over time. Select one or more of the events you track to make a beautiful and intuitive chart, then save it to a dashboard for regular reporting and analysis. Establish baselines, identify new opportunities, or just take a moment to celebrate your work—we’ll bring the balloons.
