Build mobile Flows
Create a mobile Flow and manage its steps in the mobile builder.
Table of Contents
Create a mobile Flow and work with its steps in the mobile builder. For web Flows, see Building Flows.
Prerequisites
- A registered mobile app in Appcues.
- The Appcues Mobile SDK isn't required to create a Flow, but you can't preview or publish one until installation is complete. See Installing Appcues in Mobile Applications.
Create a Flow
- In Appcues, go to Experiences > Flows and click Create a Flow.
- Choose the app you're designing for, name the Flow, add any tags, and click Create. The mobile builder opens with a default Modal.
- Choose the step type for your first step.

For the full list of step types, content blocks, and styling options, see Step & content types.
Add, delete, clone, and reorder steps
- Add — click the green + Add button on the bottom bar and choose a step type. A Carousel step lets users swipe between steps; other step types advance when the user taps a button.

- Reorder — drag and drop steps into the order you want.
- Delete — click Delete in the sidebar when viewing a step's settings.
- Clone — click Clone in the sidebar to duplicate a step with its contents and styling.

Undo and redo changes
The mobile builder supports session-based undo/redo. Refreshing the page clears the history, and undo/redo isn't available in the web builder.
The undo/redo buttons appear in the lower right, next to the preview and publish controls.

Confirm it worked
- Your Flow appears in Experiences > Flows with the steps you added.
- Preview the Flow on a device or simulator to see the steps render before you publish.
If you can't preview or publish
- The preview or publish button is unavailable. SDK installation isn't complete. Finish installing the Appcues Mobile SDK, then reopen the Flow.
- The Flow doesn't appear on your device. Confirm it's published and targeted correctly, and check Preview Mobile Flows and Troubleshoot Mobile Flows.
- Still stuck? Collect the Flow URL from Studio, the affected User ID, your app and SDK version, and a screen recording, then contact support.
