C-S storyboard is a tool that allows you to design a sequence of widgets within a single story.
Through the storyboard, you will be able to define how widgets behave within a story according to the users' interactions with them.
With the Storyboard you can create dynamic ads based on 1st and 3rd party data for each single impression.
The Storyboard provides a vertical personalization for each ad and allows you to create dynamic sequences and creatives quickly, without writing a line of code.
You just have to enter the desired customization conditions inside the blue or light-blue boxes and connect the outputs to the orange boxes that represent the widgets within the individual creatives.
Below is an example of how you can create and connect widgets to make an ad unit interactive for your users.
Connecting Widgets
The most fascinating aspect of Connected-Stories is the chance of defining a sequence of widgets based on user interactions. In order to understand and define the logic behind it, we encourage you to visit the Storyboard section.
Here you will see how to actually connect widgets (events) after a storyboard has already been designed for the story.
1. Click on new event or hit on edit if the event you want to connect has already been created.
2. Under the "Key Value" box, choose from the list of choices available to associate with a particular event.
3. Now hit on "Open Preview" to see how your story evolves based on the events you connected within the underlying rules engine.
*FYI: Status/Key Values are the final blocks you placed in the rules engine logic. These are the ones you must connect to a particular event for the dynamic storytelling to be implemented. More of this in the Storyboard.
