Chameleon

Chameleon is a product adoption platform for modern SaaS companies. With Chameleon, you can create and publish user onboarding, product tours, and tooltips without having to write code.

You can send user data from Freshpaint to Chameleon, which allows you to provide more targeted onboarding experiences to users.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to the Chameleon destination configuration and click "Configure".

   
2. Go to Chameleon > Installation and Choose "Freshpaint" under Installation Method. You can also select Freshpaint as an integration to complete the installation from your Chameleon dashboard.

   
3. On the next page, copy your token for the next step. If Chameleon also displays a fast url, grab that as well.

   
4. Configure your Chameleon token and Fast URL if necessary.

   

3. That's it! You should now see the enabled status next to the Chameleon app destination. All you need to do is enable events in the Event Library in order to start sending events to Chameleon.

Identify

Once your integration is set up correctly, you should set up identify calls. This will help you target specific "segments" of users. See Chameleon's docs on how to target specific users in Chameleon.

When you call freshpaint.identify(), Freshpaint will create or update a user in Chameleon by calling their identify method. Users in Chameleon need to be identified with a unique ID (UID) in order to enable them to see tours. You can read more about that here. Here is an example of an identify call:

freshpaint.identify("USER_ID", { // Unique ID in your database
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  // Add other pertinent parameters here
});

Events

Seeing Freshpaint Events in Chameleon

Once the Chameleon integration is enabled, you can now set it as an event destination in the event definition in order to start sending an event to Chameleon.

When you send an event to Chameleon from Freshpaint, Freshpaint calls Chameleon's track method to create an event.

You can view your events and users in the Data Management section in Chameleon.

Configuration Options
