Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a digital experience system that non-intrusively obtains valuable user feedback by strategically prompting users for feedback during a user's journey of a digital content experience. For example, in one or more embodiments, the digital experience system detects when various discrete touchpoints are triggered throughout a user's journey. In response to detecting a triggered touchpoint, the digital experience system can provide the user with a prompt from a template of prompts.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

monitoring a navigational path of a user within a content experience that comprises user interactions with the content experience;

identifying, based on the navigational path of the user, multiple discrete touchpoints throughout the content experience that were separately triggered by the user interactions;

determining, by at least one processor, a prompt from a template of prompts for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints;

providing, throughout the content experience and in response to the multiple discrete touchpoints being separately triggered, the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints; and

receiving a response to the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying the content experience based on the received response.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising providing, based on modifying the content experience, response feedback to the user that indicates the modified content experience, wherein the response feedback is provided upon the user subsequently accessing the content experience.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content experience comprises a website or a mobile application.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a subset of prompts from the template of prompts based on the navigational path of the user within the content experience.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints are associated with graphical elements, document pages, interfaces, navigational elements, or interactive features.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing historical user navigational patterns of the content experience to identify touchpoints within the content experience; and

associating one or more prompts in the template of prompts to one or more of the touchpoints based on the historical user navigational patterns of the content experience.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising waiting, upon detecting the user triggered a first touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints, a time period before providing a first prompt corresponding to the first triggered touchpoint to a client device associated with the user.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting the user triggering a touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints based on one or more touchpoint trigger conditions for the touchpoint being satisfied.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein detecting the user triggering the touchpoint comprises detecting that the user interacted with a given sequence of touchpoints.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:

monitor a navigational path of a user within a content experience that comprises user interactions with the content experience;

identify, based on the navigational path of the user, multiple discrete touchpoints throughout the content experience that were separately triggered by the user interactions;

determine a prompt from a template of prompts for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints;

provide, throughout the content experience and in response to the multiple discrete touchpoints being separately triggered, the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints; and

receive a response to the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that cause the computer system to:

identify metadata corresponding to the user interactions that triggered a touchpoint; and

customize a prompt corresponding to the triggered touchpoint based on the metadata.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that cause the computer system to delay providing the prompt for a touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints until a delay timer has elapsed, wherein the delay timer starts when a previous prompt is provided, and wherein the previous prompt corresponds to a previously triggered touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that cause the computer system to:

determine that a prompt associated with a touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints has previously received a response; and

provide an alternative prompt from the template of prompts for the touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that cause the computer system to display the prompt within a graphical element that appears upon providing the prompt.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the computer system to provide the prompt by:

providing a first version of the prompt based on the triggered touchpoint being a first touchpoint trigger type; and

providing a second version of the prompt based on the triggered touchpoint being a second touchpoint trigger type.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising instructions that cause the computer system to provide a subset of prompts from the template of prompts based on the navigational path of a user within a content experience.

18. A system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

monitor a navigational path of a user within a content experience that comprises user interactions with the content experience;

identify, based on the navigational path of the user, multiple discrete touchpoints throughout the content experience that were separately triggered by the user interactions;

determine a prompt from a template of prompts for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints;

provide, throughout the content experience and in response to the multiple discrete touchpoints being separately triggered, the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints; and

receive a response to the prompt for each of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.

19. The system of claim 18 , further comprising instructions that cause the system to provide a subset of prompts from the template of prompts based on the navigational path of a user within a content experience.

20. The system of claim 18 , further comprising instructions that cause the system to:

determine that a prompt associated with a touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints has previously received a response; and

provide an alternative prompt from the template of prompts for the touchpoint of the separately triggered multiple discrete touchpoints.
