The problem

Onboarding changes compete with the roadmap, so they ship slowly and are rarely measured.

With Datsnip, customer success and product can prototype a tour in minutes, show it only where users hesitate, and see whether it helped.

How it works with Datsnip

  1. Find where users hesitateHover hesitation and dead clicks in the Inspector point at confusing elements.
  2. Build a tourCreate a spotlight, strip or coach-mark tour over the real UI, step by step.
  3. Start it on behaviorBegin on page load, on an element click, or from your own code with one call. Cap it to once per user.
  4. Track activationSend a custom event for the activation step with window.datsnip.track(...) and build a funnel.
  5. Test the copyA/B test tour wording or placement and keep the winner.
