Start Automatically

To start a flow or checklist automatically, enable auto-start conditions in the detail page’s left panel.

You can start and segment flows and checklists using these conditions:

  • User attribute - Execute the trigger’s action when a user possesses specific attributes, enabling personalized flow progression.
  • Current page is - Execute the trigger’s action when users navigate to a designated page, ensuring context-aware flow delivery.
  • Flow/Checklist - Start the flow/checklist if another flow/checklist is completed/seen.
  • Element is present/clicked/disabled - Execute the trigger’s action based on UI element states. Particularly useful for handling asynchronous content loading scenarios.
  • Text input value is - Execute the trigger’s action when users enter specific values in designated input fields, enabling precise form-based flow control.
  • User fills in input - Execute the trigger’s action upon any user input in specified fields, facilitating real-time flow progression.
  • Current time - Execute the trigger’s action at designated times, allowing for time-sensitive content delivery within specific time periods.
  • You can combine multiple conditions using AND/OR logic groups to create complex conditions
  • Checklists will stay on screen until manually dismissed
  • Flows start once per user by default, but you can change it to multiple times or unlimited starts
  • Use the Wait condition to add a delay before starting the flow

​
Start from Actions

You can start a flow or checklist by adding an action to another checklist, launcher, or flow. Here are examples for each type:

Checklist task action Flow button/trigger action Launcher action

You can start a flow or checklist by adding a link or button to your app.

To start a flow or checklist via URL, add the flow ID to your link like this:

https://www.usertour.io/flows/?usertour=your_flow_id

For example, if your flow ID is “cmaw8v1ch013s147h0uw8aha5”, the URL would be:

https://www.usertour.io/flows/?usertour=cmaw8v1ch013s147h0uw8aha5

​
Start from Code

You can start a flow by adding a button to your app or using the usertour.start(). For detailed implementation, check out our Usertour.js Reference.

​
How to find the ID

To use usertour.start(), you’ll need the content ID (flow ID or checklist ID). You can find this ID in the URL of the detail page: /env/{envId}/{contentType}/{contentId}/detail

For example, in this URL:

https://app.usertour.io/env/1/flows/cmaw8v1ch013s147h0uw8aha5/detail

The content ID is cmaw8v1ch013s147h0uw8aha5
