UPDATE_LOG:003

Yo.

Happy new year my friend.

I have exciting news! Ballpark now has two founders.

My partner Erin has joined to help make sure you get the most out of Ballpark. She’s both a designer and customer success wizard. You’ll likely see her in your inbox. If you need anything, have feedback, or just want to chat about cooking, shoot her an email at [email protected] She’d love to hear from you.

Let’s jump in to the update.

Whats new? 

Two major updates this week.

1. Our new in-app setup guide. I realise that dropping a new user straight into a visual canvas may not be the best way to explain how everything works 🙃. So you’ll now see a button in the side bar that opens a full guide for everything you need to know in Ballpark. Anything new will be added here.

2. Splitting the flow by a previous answer. When adding a new question, you'll now see a "Split by previous answer" option. This shows all the multiple-choice questions earlier in your flow, letting you branch based on any of those answers. Even if they were 5 questions ago. This means you're no longer forced to branch immediately after a question. Giving more flexibility to your question flow.

Something to help you this week:

One of my north stars for Ballpark is to have your visitors not know that you’re using Ballpark. For it to feel native to your site. Rather than a 3rd party tool.

Now I know we’ve got a lot of work to get here, but I have a quick tip that’ll get you a little bit closer to this reality. It’s triggering Ballpark from a button on your own website.

You’ll notice on my site (over-stimulated.com) that the Ballpark Icon never shows unless you click the “Get an instant estimate” button in the navigation. This is because I use a feature inside of Ballpark called custom buttons (probs need a better name).

To set this up, go to our new setup guide → Adding to your website → Open Ballpark from any button on your site. There’s platform specific instructions there, but the general idea is to create a button on your site and then hook it up to the open function.

Then make sure you use the toggle / updated embed script as this will hide the Ballpark Icon until it is opened.

As always, if you need help setting this up, email me at [email protected] and I’ll help you create this.

I think its cool to highlight people who went live with Ballpark this week. Clients, If you're looking to hire, these teams and freelancers will give you a ballpark price instantly 😉
