Create Guide Engagement for Mobile App

Set Audience

The audience section helps you configure the set of users who qualify to view the engagement. You can create rules to match your requirements. 

For example, the below rule ensures that the engagement is displayed only to the user with the specified email ID, and who resides in the United States as the AND logic is selected. You can use the AND or OR logic within a rule, to configure multiple parameters. Click + Add to add multiple parameters.

The Audience section has two new rules for Mobile engagements; Screen event and Platform. The screen event rule allows you to select a Screen name in your app or a Screen class of your app. The engagement is launched on the selected screen or class. Apart from selecting the screen name or class, you must also select the platform of your app (Example: iOS, Android) on which you wish to launch the engagement. The screen name/screen class and platform together form a single Screen rule.

In the following image, the engagement is launched on the Launch screen of the app. Also, the engagement is launched only for the iOS version.

IMPORTANT: If you are using multiple screen event rules, ensure that you set the Rule logic to OR for the Screen event rule block. The overall Audience Logic can be OR or AND.

The Platform rule allows you to select your app’s platform (iOS or Android) on which you wish to launch the engagement. If you do not want to launch your engagement on any specific screen or class of your app, you can use this rule to select only the platform. The engagement can be viewed on all the screens/classes of the selected platform. 

Tip: If you wish to launch the engagement on all the screens and on all the platforms, do not use the above two rules.      

Apart from these two new rules, you can use Users, Account, In-app engagement, Product Mapper, Inferred Company, Inferred Location, Account Location, Location, Custom Events, and Segments rules in a Mobile engagement. The behavior of these rules is the same as with a Web App engagement.

IMPORTANT:

• While using an In-app engagement rule in a Mobile engagement, you can select a Web App engagement as well.   
• While using the Segment rule in mobile engagement, you can only select those Segments that were created for Mobile.

Configure Activation 

This is a new section exclusively for mobile engagements. This section allows you to set events that trigger your mobile engagement. Once the configured event is triggered, the engagement is displayed on the selected screen/class.

There are three events in this section. OR operation is applied between the events you add in this section.

Custom Events: Custom Events are a set of events that are configured to exclusively track those activities which are not readily available on the UI. An example of a custom event can be when a user tries to perform an editing activity on a specific screen of your app. 

Screen Events: You can use Screen events rules in the Activation section as well, apart from the Audience section. Screen events consist of Screen name or Screen class. When you select a Screen name or a screen class as the Activation method, the engagement is launched when the selected screen or class is accessed. 

Application Events: An application event rule block consists of three rules; App opened, App installed, and App updated. You can select any of the rules as your trigger method. For example, if you select the trigger method to be updated, the engagement is launched when the user updates your app and opens it for the first time after updating. 

For more information on configuring events, refer to the Create Engagements for your Mobile Application article.

Use Template

The Templates section allows you to select a template that matches your requirement for the Mobile engagement:

1. Navigate to the Templates section.
2. Select a template from the Saved Templates/Default Templates/Recently Used options.

Customize Guide using Editor 

You can select a template from the Templates section or create your own template starting with a blank one.

Following are few customizing options of the many capabilities of the Editor:

• Text change
• Ability to insert image or video or hyperlink
• Background color or fill changes
• Corner curvature options
• Ability to show/hide the Next, Skip, or Close buttons
• Size changes for Hotspot and Tooltip

Platform Selector

The Platform Selector options allow you to select the platform in which you want to launch the Guide and also specify the element on which the Hotspot/Tooltip needs to be linked.

Note: Gainsight PX recommends that you configure the element from the in-app editor rather than the platform selector for more accurate results.
