Use a permalink
A permalink is a URL that launches a specific Flow when clicked. Share it in emails, chat messages, support docs, or anywhere you can place a link.
- Open the Flow in Studio and go to the settings page.
- Click the Permalink button. Copy the generated URL.
- Share the link wherever your users will access it.
- When a user clicks the permalink, the Flow launches regardless of frequency or audience targeting rules. The user must be on a page where Appcues is installed.
For details on permalink setup and customization, see Permalinks.
Use a Launchpad
A Launchpad is an in-app resource center that lets users browse and relaunch Flows on demand. Add Flows to a Launchpad so users can access tutorials, feature guides, and announcements whenever they want.
Use a Button Pin
You can create a button Pin and insert it inline in your app in a way that feels native to it. These buttons can be set to trigger a Flow upon clicking them.
Use a Checklist
Use a Checklist to as a way to guide your users through some critical action and learning. The checklist marks each item as completed as the user progresses in the tasks.
