A customer journey map is a live document that needs to be continuously updated and evolve along with your customer and your business. And updating this manually is always a pain.
We have come up with a way to automate this process using the new Embed Code Section. Let’s take a look at how it works and what opportunities it brings to the customer journey mapping process.
To add the Embed code section into your CJM:
Click the “Add section” button in the bottom left corner;
Select “Embed code” in the section list;
Click “Add”.
You can also edit embed code inside cells instead of deleting it, go back to the initial file and repaste it again.
Note: the Embed code section is available only to paid plan users.
Now let’s take a look at what popular platforms that provide embed code are out there and how you can extract the embed code from them.
Prototyping tools
Embed code section allows adding prototypes from such tools like Figma, InVision App, Marvel App, or boards from tools like Miro.
Embedded prototypes and boards update on every refresh so they are so much cooler than static screenshots.
Add your design ideas to the map to visualize your suggestions for all stakeholders.
Here's the list of supported embed code platforms. For detailed instructions click the logo of the app you work with:
Audio Hosting services
You can now insert all kinds of audio files right inside the embed code section of the journey map. All you need to do is to find a way to copy the embed code of your audio on the sound hosting platform that you use. Take a look at the instruction on extracting the embed code from audio files on SoundCloud.
Videos
The same applies to video files. View the instructions on extracting the embed code from YouTube and Vimeo.

Presentations

Surveys and polls
Polls and surveys are an important detail of the customer journey mapping process that is likely to get updated once in a while. Learn how to copy the embed code from PollDaddy and Google Forms.
It doesn't end there...
