In-App Messaging Kit Skill

When to Use

• Designing nudges, tooltips, and walkthroughs for onboarding or feature launches.

• Coordinating lifecycle messaging across in-app surfaces, chat, and email.

• Testing personalization ideas tied to usage milestones or cohorts.

Framework

• Trigger Matrix – event-based, state-based, and contextual triggers.

• Message Patterns – tooltip, modal, checklist, banner, coachmark, chat prompt.

• Targeting Rules – persona, plan/tier, usage depth, lifecycle stage.

• Measurement Plan – success metrics (CTR, completion, conversion) and guardrails.

• Localization + Accessibility – copy guidelines, fallback flows, and escalation options.

Templates

• Message brief (goal, trigger, variant, CTA, measurement).

• Component library reference with best practices.

• Experiment tracker linking messages to outcomes.

Tips

• Keep copy concise; pair visuals or GIFs where possible.

• Schedule “quiet hours” to avoid notification overload.

• Tie each message to a single next-best-action to reduce decision fatigue.
