Building Delightful App Experiences with a No-code Product Experience Platform

Published : February 21, 2022

In this crowded app market, it’s not enough to just attract users with creative marketing tactics for app downloads. What’s crucial is providing an exceptional product experience post-download, and this is where a robust product experience platform becomes indispensable.

The experience you build for users post-download will define your app’s success story. Your user’s journey within the product decides whether or not a user will stick to it. In fact, 67% of users leave the app if they don’t get the desired action. All these interactions and drawing out a clear path for your users within the app to take actions aligned with their motive is what product experience is all about.

It focuses on helping users realize the app’s value in a short time and helps users navigate through the app seamlessly. This includes delivering a smooth onboarding flow, suggesting the next best steps to users, and giving contextual guidance as and when needed that helps users move across the funnel quickly and smoothly. This makes the in-product interactions richer, personalized and empowers your product to drive key business goals/metrics.

Now, the ‘why’ behind product experience is quite evident. Apart from the obvious problems they solve, apps are all about experiences. No matter how catchy the email or how timely the push notification is – if the product experience is broken, you’re bound to lose out on your users. It is also, in fact, the primary product-led growth lever. And a supercharged product experience platform delivers experiences that keep users hooked, building habit loops that bring them back to your app regularly.

However, the burning question to answer is – how do we go about building/implementing product experience? How do you achieve all that we talked about so far? Questions are many, we know, but the answer lies in a single solution – A complete no-code product experience suite to help you create just the perfect experience for every mobile app user.

What does Netcore’s product experience platform offer?

Netcore’s no-code product experience platform is built to empower product and growth teams to deliver hyper-contextual, hyper-personalized product experiences to their mobile app users.

Here’s how our platform’s no-code capabilities help product teams like yours

What’s more? You can do all of this with minimal dependency on developers and engineers.

Features of Netcore’s No-code Product Experience Platform

Moving on – let’s get talking about what makes Netcore’s no-code platform an integral part of your mobile app’s growth story:

1. Deploy no-code contextual nudges and walkthroughs

Acing your key metrics just got a lot easier with a no-code DIY solution. You can now successfully nudge your way to engage and retain users for a lifetime.

With our platform, you can create drag-and-drop nudge journeys without writing a single line of code. The no-code dashboard lets you easily define your nudge journeys, set the goals you want to achieve (in terms of conversion, engagement, CTR, and more ), and add critical app events.

A significant point to note here is that you can see all your app events (product_page, product_listing_page, add-to-cart, wishlist, and more) added to the dashboard in just a simple 2-step integration process. Our integrations with multiple analytics providers allow you to directly add all of your app events without passing them through Netcore’s servers.

Triggering nudges further boils down to a simplistic flow-chart-based approach. Here, you can define your audience and create a nudge roll-out strategy by specifying the user segment you want to configure the nudges/walkthrough and set up the optimal time to make it live.

You can also create segments based on events and attribute data using our intuitive segment builder. These factors give product teams much scope for experimenting with nudges. And in just a few clicks, you can trigger nudges at the right time to the target user segment.

Doing this keeps your users hooked to the app and motivates them to keep coming back to you. 

What makes nudges even more appealing is the extent of customization available in terms of shapes, sizes, colors, font type, CTA, language, and much more.

Moreover, you can tie these nudges to any app element (adding more context while introducing a new feature or suggesting an action to users) without interrupting the user’s flow on the app.

Based on app events, you can trigger nudges (or a series of nudges) in real-time and keep tracking and optimizing the outcomes.

2. Create zero-code user segments

There’s no cap on the number of segments you can create with zero coding efforts. When it comes to user delight – context is everything. Unless you’re sending out user-specific, relevant communication, no matter how great a product you built – users won’t value it. So targeted communication is the real key to solving user needs and problems most effectively.

We know segmentation can get complex – especially when you have so much data coming in from multiple sources. But we’ve taken care of that for you. The robust segmentation engine is created to help you easily work with complex targeting conditions for nudging users. This is based on historical behavioral data like clicks, views, or real-time data like location and further integrates data from multiple platforms, including Amplitude, Segment, and MixPanel.

Based on these segments created, you can map out multiple user paths (containing a series of nudges) to help users make the most out of your app.

3. Build optimized user journeys

Nudges are all about the context. To create context-specific journeys, nudges must be shown at the right moment in the user journey. Every user follows a certain path on the app – for instance, in an ecommerce app, the user flow looks like – Sign-in → browse products → add to cart → check out. Place nudges at the most relevant points within the user journey flow where users are most likely to interact with the nudge and take action.

Again, multiple experiments can be conducted here, like testing nudge variations.

Having the user flow spread out in front and analyzing the points that lead to maximum conversion helps you offer 1:1 personalized experiences.

4. Conduct low-code A/B testing

Running rapid experiments is the way to build picture-perfect user experiences that your users love. Now imagine conducting these multiple experiments across different aspects of your app (from homepage layout to CTA button), multiple components of a specific feature, and rolling it out to specific user segments with extremely low coding/development efforts. That’s what our platform offers to you – a low-code way of running experiments on the fly and to your users – the experience they prefer.

5. Release segment-specific features using feature flags

The golden rule of successful feature launches is – releasing specific features to only a relevant part of your user base. Not every feature is meant for every user. Our no-code solution gives you complete control over releasing segment-specific features, testing features, and even killing the feature. There’s no need to drown in long development cycles anymore! A switch is all you need to release, measure, analyze and improve features.

You’re adding to a richer and more powerful product experience by showing features to only relevant user segments. That too in minutes.

6. Track, analyze, and optimize metrics

You simply can’t manage what you can’t/ don’t measure. Every nudge that you roll out has a significant impact on metrics like engagement and conversion. Understanding this impact is the last piece of the puzzle.

When we say track, we don’t mean dozens of spreadsheets with complicated graphs – tracking and analyzing the outcomes is as easy as it reads with our product suite.

Event-based reporting gives you insight into the performance of the primary goal you set. And that’s not all. The built-in analytics also gives you a clear picture of the secondary goals set. (P.S – You can set unlimited secondary goals). The deep reporting across every user journey created sets the base for delivering unique product experiences at every journey stage.

7. Break down the SDK integration into a 2-step simple process

A day is all it takes to get up and running with our latest SDK integration. The highlight of this process is the ease of adding your analytics events from a 3rd party platform to Netcore’s dashboard. Copy-paste a short snippet code, and you’re all set to get started.

With user data privacy being a major concern for you, you can easily control the storage options for every data point in a first-of-its-kind setup. You can keep tracking critical app events on your analytics provider’s platform yet choose not to send any PII to Netcore’s panel.

Hassle-free integration with utmost privacy provisions for user data – can it get any better?

The mobile app industry is growing insanely, and so is the competition. With the ever-evolving needs of users, it’s essential to stay at the top of your product experience since that’s what primarily decides your app’s fate.

To make the long-term sustainable growth dream a reality, you must deliver personalized and contextual experiences to every user. Keeping this at the center, we’ve designed our no-code product experience platform to help you drive key business metrics by offering solutions across multiple use cases that help you direct the larger app growth narrative.

2. Feature Adoption

Supercharge user engagement or interactions with features using nudges to either inform users of a new/existing feature or instruct users on the steps to put the feature to use. Feature adoption nudges further help create habit loops that encourage users to know about the features and take action around it. This is what keeps users retained on your app. With nudges, the whole cycle of introducing a new feature to users and getting them to actually use it becomes much more contextual. Nudges are triggered based on the context and user intent, and this is what drives better feature adoption.

3. Conversion

There could be multiple potential drop-off points across the user path/journey. Understanding the user context at this point helps you know what you should do next to convert users. It can be nudging users towards the next step or highlighting a new feature that might solve their pain point at that moment. It could even be grabbing users’ attention towards relevant discounts/offers. Depending on the user context, these can prevent user churn and lead to higher + quicker conversions.

4. Engagement

Keep users engaged on your app by leveraging real-time contextual nudges that deliver constant value to users and give them reasons enough to stick to your app. The vast nudge library gives you a chance to:

  • Roll out different nudges for different purposes – (for example – reminder nudges, alert nudges, survey nudges, and more)

  • Run continuous low-code experiments with nudge types.

  • Contextually guide users to complete critical tasks.

5. Retention

Delivering smooth onboarding experiences, enabling contextual feature discovery and adoption, driving faster conversions, and enhancing overall app engagement helps skyrocket retention rates. The more users engage with your product, the more likely they’re able to create strong habit loops that get them back to your app. Collecting real-time feedback and constantly iterating your app and its features further boosts app user retention.

Retention is tough, but our no-code product experience platform makes it easy.
