Using this integration is as easy as saying 1-2-3! Do not believe this? Check out these steps -
1. Transform your cool ideas into mockups on Balsamiq
Every great design starts with a mockup! And what’s better than making one on Balsamiq - fast and smart. Export these mockups right away and bring them into CanvasFlip.
2. Create interactive prototypes
Now that you have your Balsamiq mockups ready, let’s get started with creating functional prototypes on CanvasFlip.
- Sync your cropped mockups with CanvasFlip
Upload multiple mockups from your computer system or google drive. All of these mockups are ready in CanvasFlip’s “Balsamiq mockup importer” - crop out the screens from these mockups and sync them with the CanvasFlip account.
- Create functional prototypes on CanvasFlip Studio
Wohooo! All your mockups are ready in the CanvasFlip account. Drag and drop hotspots to create an interactive prototype.
- Share the prototype
You are all set to get real-time feedback from team members, clients or actual target audience AND/OR, recruit “Real Users” based on the geography, gender, and points of interests. All you need to do is share your prototype over email, URL or embed them.
3. Validate your idea
Grab your cup of coffee and before you take your last sip, UX insights are ready in your CanvasFlip account. Find out which was the most popular flow in your prototype, which screen had the maximum drop-off, was your call to action loud enough and much more… Use session replays, conversion funnels, and interaction heat map to decide whether to go ahead or rethink your idea.
