Introducing Flows: the next-gen tool for creating flexible, powerful, and reliable onboarding flows and product tours. Get started quickly, customize endlessly, and enjoy beautiful, seamless experiences.
Hey everyone 👋 I'm thrilled to announce Flows – user onboarding for modern SaaS.
We decided to build Flows after exploring all the top players like Appcues, Intercom, Usetiful, and IntroJS. They all left us wanting more.
With Flows, we're revolutionizing the SaaS world to make software easy to use and learn. Every day, millions sign up for SaaS products, and we're dedicated to helping them reach value faster. Our principles for building Flows are:
- Speed: Flows should be easy to create and deploy. There shouldn't be any dead time before an onboarding flow shows up to the user after a page loads.
- Flexibility: There shouldn't be any limits to what you can do with Flows. You should be able to create any experience you can imagine.
- Reliability: Flows should work every time. They should be robust and resilient to any changes in the underlying product.
- Design: Flows should have superior UX with beautiful UI. They should be a pleasure to create and a joy to experience.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Flows and answer any questions! 🙌
@opesicka Hi. Congratulations.
Can you tell us more about the process of creating and deploying onboarding with Flows?
How does Flows cope with integration into various SaaS products and platforms?
@mksaint13 Thank you!
You should be able to install flows into any JS based product if you have access to the codebase or can at least add scripts into the tag.
The process is fairly straightforward:
1. Signup and create your organization and project
2. Install our SDK or load the script from a CDN
3. Set the domains you will be using
4. Create a flow in our editor
5. Publish it to your users 🎉
We have a getting started guide that should get you up and running quickly. https://app.flows.sh/getting-sta...
Good stuff, it looks promising. It still lacks efficiency in setting up the flows, without live selecting. Price looks right. Potential is there, hence supported. Looking for an alternative to Intercom, so I'll evaluate it more id depth with team in the next fea days.
@fabiosalvadori Thank you for the support! I may be biased but I'd say Flows can be a good alternative to Intercom. Let us know if you need any help when setting up.
@jn_norris That's a great coincidence 😄
In theory, we can integrate with any analytics platform. When implementing our SDK, you can pass a tracking function from a platform of your choosing, and we'll be sending events there. Check our docs for more info https://flows.sh/docs/analytics/...
Our tooltips are really flexible, we even support HTML so you can put anything in them.
We also have fully customizable CSS styles 🎨
Big congrats to the Flows team! Looks like you've done a really great job, guys
And how does Flows handle updates to the underlying product? Is there a way to ensure the onboarding flows stay accurate and effective?
@kszhebrovskaya Thank you for the kind words! As of now we are in the same boat as every other tool -> you need to keep an eye out on breaking changes in your product and test that the onboarding flows work.
With that said we know this is a big problem and want to tackle it in the future.
Hey PH! 👋 I'm another builder behind Flows and the developer 👨💻
I'm super excited 🤩 to bring you the best user onboarding platform for modern SaaS.
Give Flows a shot and please do let us know what you think! 🙂
Hello Hunters! I'm excited to be part of this project as a backend/database developer!
Check us out and I hope you'll like what we've build over the last year. 🍾
I just wanted to say that your approach to user onboarding seems very well thought out! The quick load times and intuitive design have certainly caught my attention. I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
Hey everyone!
Glad to be a part of this project here on Product Hunt for the first time!
I'm the guy behind the Marketing side of things like the Social Media posts, Graphic design or the super cool Flows logo 😎
Excited to see all the coming feedback.

Congrats on the launch, @opesicka! Flows sounds like a game-changer for onboarding in the SaaS space. The focus on speed, flexibility, and reliability definitely aligns with what users need today. It's refreshing to see a tool that not only aims to streamline onboarding but also enhances user experience with beautiful design!
I'm particularly intrigued by your commitment to making every onboarding flow seamless; this is crucial for user retention and maximizing ROI. Have you thought about offering a freemium model to encourage more users to try Flows? It could really help in building traction early on.
Looking forward to seeing how Flows evolves and the impact it will have on the onboarding process. Keep up the great work! 🚀
Flows sounds amazing! How do you maintain the reliability of the flows, especially when there are frequent updates to the underlying product?
Good luck with the launch!
@ramya_pk Thanks!
We are in the same boat as every other tool -> you need to keep an eye out on breaking changes in your product and test that the onboarding flows work. But we know this is a problem and want to tackle it in the future.
From our side we version our API to make sure that we don't break implementations for our customers.
This product looks like a breath of fresh air for SaaS onboarding. The focus on speed, flexibility, and reliability is refreshing. Customizing experiences without limits is a huge plus, and love the emphasis on beautiful design too. Can't wait to see how it helps users get up to speed quickly. Very promising.
