User onboarding FAQs

What types of onboarding experiences can I create with Chameleon?

Here’s what teams use on repeat, and why:


  • - Welcome modals: Set expectations fast, point users to value.
  • - Product tours: Great for complex flows, but best when short and contextual.
  • - Tooltips: Inline nudges that don’t interrupt, just guide.
  • - Checklists: Still king for driving activation, especially when embedded directly in-app.
  • - Resource Centers: One-click access to help, docs, and announcements.
  • - HelpBar: AI-powered search so users can answer their own questions without leaving your product.
  • - Interactive demos: Let users do, not just read. Especially useful for feature discovery.

How does Chameleon help users get to value faster?

Most users never reach the “aha moment.” According to Lenny’s Newsletter, 66–75% of users never activate—they sign up, poke around, and vanish. No activation = no retention = no revenue.


Chameleon fixes this by making onboarding smarter and more contextual. You can personalize product tours, tooltips, checklists, and surveys based on who the user is, what they’ve done (or haven’t), and where they are in their journey. That means:


  • - New users aren’t dumped into a blank dashboard; they’re guided to their first win.
  • - Power users don’t see hand-holding fluff. They get advanced tips or new feature nudges.
  • - Different roles (e.g. admin vs end user) get different paths to value.

How fast can I launch my first onboarding flow with Chameleon?

Most teams launch a working onboarding flow in under 30 minutes. Just add your copy, choose a target audience, and hit Publish. No dev cycles or design sprints required.

Can I customize onboarding to match my product’s design?

Absolutely. Chameleon is highly customizable with full CSS control, flexible layouts, and support for your design system. The result is onboarding that looks and feels native to your product.

How does Chameleon’s AI enhance user onboarding?

Chameleon’s AI helps with smart timing (Smart Delay), AI copy enhancements and smart experience suggestions, automatic A/B testing, and, soon, even AI-generated onboarding flows to make your onboarding more effective and efficient.

Does Chameleon support targeting and personalization?

Definitely! You can target onboarding based on user attributes (e.g., role, plan), behaviors (e.g., first login), or even specific segments from tools like Segment, Amplitude, or Mixpanel. The best part? It’s all point-and-click inside Chameleon. No need for manual tagging or developer hand-holding.

Can I A/B test onboarding experiences?

Absolutely—and not just manually. You can:

- Create multiple variants of any experience, or test against a control group that isn't shown an experience
- Set the traffic split
- Track completions, conversion goals, and statistical confidence

Chameleon handles the heavy lifting. It shows you which variant drives higher activation or conversion with real data, not gut instinct. Even better: Chameleon’s AI can generate a B variant for you, run the test, and auto-promote the winner to your full audience once it’s statistically sound.

Do I need a developer to create or launch Chameleon onboarding flows?

Only once, to install the Chameleon code snippet, which can be done in minutes. After that, your Product or Growth team can own everything from creating onboarding patterns to targeting user segments, without writing a single line of code.

Will Chameleon slow down my app or annoy users?

Definitely not. Chameleon is performance-optimized and built with UX in mind. You can set rate limits, display rules, and behavioral triggers to ensure onboarding feels natural, not spammy.

What if I already built product tours in another tool?

You can migrate easily. Import content via CSV or quickly rebuild your flows with our drag-and-drop editor. Most teams recreate a tour in under 10 minutes, and reusable themes mean your branding stays consistent.

Is Chameleon just for new user onboarding?

Not at all. While Chameleon is perfect for first-time user guidance, it’s also built for ongoing education or "everboarding," like feature adoption nudges, plan-specific upsells, and re-engagement messages.
