What's New

New & improved 🆕✨

Control Experiments:
ICYMI control experimentation (or holdback testing) is here! Better measure impact on your flow’s key conversion goal by automatically excluding a control group from seeing your flow. 🧪🥂 Take a tour to get started, or check out the help doc.
Mobile Tooltips - Anchored:
Available for Native iOS, Native Android, Flutter, and React Native Apps–you can now anchor a tooltip directly to an in-app element! It’s perfect for calling out new features and elements that move depending on screen size.
Mobile Screen Capture:
Capture a screenshot directly from your mobile device to help make building mobile experiences easier.
Target New Users Easily:
We’ve added a new auto-property called
First Seen At
. This is a timestamp of the first time a user has been seen by Appcues, making it easier to target new users in your app. 🙌
Shadow DOM Framework Support:
Appcues' now handles Shadow DOMs, making it easy to point and click at any element inside the Shadow DOM you want to select.
Banners - Buttons & Templates:
Now, you can add buttons to your banners and use that button to trigger another flow when clicked! 🥳 Additionally, to expedite building, we’ve added three new banner templates: new feature announcement, trial expiration, and webinar announcement. To use the new templates, head to the page you want to build on and open the Appcues Builder.
Session Recording Integrations:
Pass events directly from Appcues to Fullstory, Hotjar, and LogRocket for a more complete picture of what your users are doing in your product.
Import Group Profiles via Public API:
Create segments and target Appcues experiences to Group Profiles by importing the data via our new Public API endpoint
Import Bulk Group Profile Data
.
Active Users:
We’ve added mobile active users
(if applicable to you)
to the count on the Appcues Overview page for a better view of total active users across your products!
