What are Stories?

Overview

Think of Stories like Instagram Stories, but for in-app onboarding. They're full-screen, tappable guides that take users through key moments in your app onboarding. Stories feel native and engaging - users swipe through screens, make selections, and interact naturally.

What Can You Build?

Stories are versatile. Here's what teams commonly create:

• Onboarding: Welcome new users
• Explain key features
• Collect preferences

Key Concepts

Screens

A Story is made of one or more screens. Each screen is a single view - like a slide in a presentation. Users swipe or tap to navigate between screens.

Elements

Each screen contains elements: text, images, buttons, input fields, selection lists, and more. You arrange these on a visual canvas to create your design.

Displaying Stories

Stories are displayed in your app by calling Snoopr.showStory() from the SDK. This function should be called once in your app.

Experiments & Targeting

When running experiments, user targeting is handled automatically through traffic allocation. The Snoopr SDK determines which users see which variant.

How Stories Work

• You design your Story in the visual editor - no code needed
• You publish to make it live
• You call Snoopr.showStory() once in your app to display Stories
• The SDK automatically handles experiment targeting and traffic allocation
• You analyze completion rates, drop-offs, and responses

What Makes Snoopr Stories Different?

• No-code visual editor - Build Stories without engineering
• Native experience - Feels like part of your app, not a popup
• Data capture - Collect user responses and preferences
• Light & dark mode - Automatic theme support
• Real-time updates - Publish changes without app store updates
• Offline support - Stories work even without connectivity
