Make an announcement

Product tours is in private alpha

Product Tours is currently in private alpha. Share your thoughts and we'll reach out with early access.

Currently only available on the web. Requires posthog-js >= v1.324.0.

Announcements are single-step messages for when you don't need a full multi-step tour. Buttons can open links or trigger a product tour, making announcements a great entry point for onboarding flows.

Modal announcements

Popups for important messages like feature launches, changelogs, or welcome messages. Modals can be positioned anywhere on screen and support rich content with buttons.

Modal announcement example

To create one:

  1. Go to Product tours
  2. Click New tour → Announcement → Modal

Top-of-page alerts for less intrusive messages like promotions or maintenance notices. Banners can be sticky (stay visible while scrolling) or static.

Banner announcement example

To create one:

  1. Go to Product tours
  2. Click New tour → Announcement → Banner

Banners have additional configuration options:

  • Position: Choose between sticky (stays visible while scrolling), static (scrolls with content), or custom (inject into a specific container element using a CSS selector).
  • Click action: Set what happens when users click the banner – open a link, trigger another product tour, or do nothing.

Targeting

Announcements use the same targeting options as product tours. See Targeting for details.
