Set up data transmission
To enable data transmission in a step, follow these instructions:
Open a guide in Stonly.
Go to the step where you wish to record data.
Click on the data transmission icon above the content block.
Select Data to send and define Target.
Data to send
Data to send is the type of information that will be sent when the step is displayed or completed.
Data type | Description | Sent |
|---|---|---|
Custom text | Text of your choice. | Step completed |
Custom text (on step open) | Text of your choice. | Step open |
Step title | Title of the current step. | Step open |
Choice label | Label of the button. | Button clicked |
Choice value | Label of the button (language-independent) | Button clicked |
Input value | Contents of the user input. | Step completed |
All guide data | All user choices and input values provided in the guide. | Step completed |
Choice label vs Choice value
Choice label is tied to the guide's language. If you have different labels on buttons for each language version of the guide, your Target will receive them as separate entries.
Choice value is a way to send a language-independent entry.
To create a choice value:
In the guide editor, hover over the Next step to which you will assign the value.
Click Edit value.
Name the value and click Save.
This value will now be sent every time the users make this choice, regardless of the guide language.
Target
Target defines where we send the data.
This is a pre-set key that you will have to copy from guides for relevant integrations.
