Quick Start

Get Rise up and running in your application in minutes.

Step 1: Install the SDK​

Install Rise using your package manager:

npm install @getrise-ai/web-sdk

See the Installation Guide for detailed framework-specific instructions.

Step 2: Initialize Rise​

Add Rise to your application's entry point:

import Rise from '@getrise-ai/web-sdk';

Rise.init({
    appKey: 'your-app-key' // Get this from your Rise dashboard
});

Step 3: Identify Users​

After user authentication, identify the user:

// After successful login
if (user?.id) {
    Rise.identify(user.id);
}

Step 4: Create Your First Job​

Jobs are goals you want users to achieve. Rise learns how to guide users toward these goals.

  1. Log into your Rise Admin Console
  2. Navigate to Jobs
  3. Click Create New Job
  4. Define your job:
    • Name: e.g., "Complete Profile Setup"
    • Goal: What should users accomplish?
    • Success Criteria: How do you know they've completed it?

What Happens Next?​

Once Rise is installed and you've created a Job:

  1. Learning Phase (0-72 hours): Rise observes how users interact with your product
  2. Pattern Recognition: Rise identifies common paths, friction points, and success patterns
  3. Auto-Generated Triggers: Rise creates intervention points automatically
  4. Continuous Improvement: Rise adapts as your product and users evolve

Next Steps​

Common Questions​

Do I need to track events manually?​

No! Rise automatically captures user interactions. No event mapping required.

How long until I see results?​

Most customers see initial insights within 24-48 hours and automated interventions by day 3.

Can I customize the guidance?​

Yes! While Rise auto-generates triggers, you can customize messages, timing, and behavior in the Admin Console.

Does this work with my existing analytics?​

Absolutely. Rise complements tools like Mixpanel and Amplitude by adding contextual "why" data. See Integrations.
