Announcements

An announcement is a message you show in your product: a new feature, a maintenance notice, a promotion. It appears as a modal or a banner.

Create an announcement

1. Open Announcements in the dashboard and create one.
2. On the Builder tab, pick a format (modal, slideout, banner or changelog popover) and write the content.
3. On the Settings tab, set the Schedule, then under Targeting choose who sees it (everyone, or a segment) and how often. An A/B test section is there too.
4. Publish.

Use Preview in the header to click through the announcement before it goes live. Results are on the Results tab.

Behaviour

• A banner is pinned to the top of the page and needs no target element.
• A visitor who dismisses an announcement does not see it again.
• Announcements and tours load independently. A problem with one never blocks the other.
• An announcement can have a call-to-action button that opens a link or starts a tour.

Changelog

Announcements are messages inside your product. Your public changelog is separate: you write and publish its entries under Roadmap & Changelog > Changelog. Publishing an entry can also create a banner announcement that links to it. See Roadmap, ideas and changelog.

Links

Only http and https links are allowed in announcement content. Other link types are removed.
