- Mobile Flow and Pin events now appear in the Activitiestab on the User profile page.
- Plus, Mobile Flows and Pins now appear in the Eligibilitytab on the User profile page.
- Handy image previews of your Mobile Flows will now show on the Flows list page, the Mobile Flow analytics page, and when publishing a Flow.
- We've added a Back button on the User profile page to make it easier to get back to the All users list. Don't you love little quality-of-life improvements? We do!

The Builder 🔧
- No updates to the Builder in October–keep on scrolling.
Mobile 📱
To say that our Mobile Team has been busy is an understatement–so many awesome updates to share! 🤩 Building beautiful mobile experiences is easier than ever:
- You now have the option to add new elements side-by-side and the option to clone elements side-by-side or below (when there's only 1 item in a row).
- You can also Drag and Drop elements for easier placement–here are four quick examples:
- Move an element inside the same row when it has more items
- Move an element from one row to another
- Move an entire row with multiple items inside
- Move an element from a row to a completely new row
- Now, when you're editing composable elements like an 'Image with Text' block, you'll see a contextual highlight, so you know which section you are working on.
- To make editing clearer and more accessible, you'll also see a blue color (formerly green) when selecting, hovering, and creating elements.
- Working on an experience with a lot of copy or visuals? Now, if your content is bigger than the Modal area, scroll bars will display properly so you can keep editing.
- We've also added landscape/portrait mode! Toggle between both to see how your modals will look in portrait and landscape.
- Plus, light/dark mode! 🌓 Create completely different colors for light and dark modes that automatically show to your users based on their specific theme preference. 🪄

Integrations
Our Zapier integration just leveled up with 10+ new triggers to choose from.
More triggers = more Zaps = more time saved.
Imagine what you could do with all that free time! With this new version of the integration, you can now build Zaps based on users who start, skip, or interact with checklists, pins, and mobile flows. You can also trigger Zaps based on users who enter a segment. These automated workflows let you connect Appcues to 5,000+ apps so that your tools talk to each other like one big happy product-led family. ❤️
Here are some of the top ways we see teams using the integration already:
- Pass updated user information into your CRM so that data flows automatically
- Trigger automated emails based on in-app actions for a more seamless customer experience
- Send NPS submissions to your team’s Slack channel to prompt quick action and followup
- Push survey responses to Google Sheets to track feedback and create custom reports

- Now, when you click on “What’s new” in the Studio Help menu, you'll be able to read and open release note updates in-app. How meta!
The Builder 🔧
- Our newest pattern–Pins is working to anticipate your needs. When adding Pins, the Builder will now remember your last used embedding option. Whether that be inline or overlayed, this update will help streamline the placement of multiple Pins, and not force you to constantly go back and change the embedding option for each Pin. Yay!📍
Mobile 📱
- Appcues Mobile now supports the Ionic framework! 🎉
- We've moved the Options Menu inside the Appcues Mobile Builder. Formerly located at the top of the screen, you can now find it in the bottom left corner of the Builder (the three dots next to the Appcues icon). The options menu includes a link to Studio, switch accounts, and sign out.
- New content option on the block! Perfect for release notes and other listicles, the new content block option "List item with image" in Appcues Mobile lets you place images alongside text with ease.

The Builder 🔧
Are you including a custom icon in your Pin experience? From now on, uploaded SVG icons will not add extra space around the icon. That means they will be more accurate to the size of the uploaded icon to ensure resizing is scaled correctly and the tooltip opens closer to the icon. 🎉🆒 Check out how much better it looks:

Analytics for your Pin experiences are here at last! 🙌 That pesky "coming soon" page is gone and there's no need to toggle back and forth to Events Explorer to monitor performance. Now you can see who interacted with your Pins just like you already do with Flows. 👀
The analytics page includes great insights, including:

- An 'Individual Pin stats' section, including preview images, interaction event totals, and uniques, and an issues count
- A 'Recent Users' section, that includes All pin events
And for more analytics, you can export the data. Head to any Pin to check it out, or read more about analyzing Pins in our support doc.
Happy pinning!

Buttons are here! 🎉 A new addition to the Pins family–Buttons let you add persistent in-app triggers to help drive user action.

It’s an awesome way to add persistent & non-invasive calls-to-action to help drive users to where you want, when theywant! Win-win! And all that without bothering your engineering teams.
- And the good news just keeps rolling in because Buttons are live for all customers on Essentials, Growth, and Enterprise plans.

Lastly, now available on all Experience types, creating Go To URL actions within any button will allow you to easily add a Profile Attribute to help with dynamic URLs.

You've asked, and we've delivered! Our first improvement towards A/B testing is here. 🥳🥳 With Flow variation testing, you can reduce guesswork and make data-backed improvements to your Appcues Flows. Easily A/B test two or more variations of the same Flow with a sample of your target audience to determine which version performs the best.
Experiment with different imagery, copy, colors, CTAs, and more to find out what makes your Flows perform better. Testing multiple variations of a Flow can help you:
- Get better ROI from existing flows
- Increase Flow completion rates
- Make low-risk modifications
- Measure the impact of your Flow improvements
Check out our help article for steps on how to set up an A/B test and start experimenting away.
