Turns a short note, a linked doc or ticket, or pasted content into a banner draft in Userflow—a bar that sits directly in your app's page.

What it does

You give it the context, it drafts short banner copy with you, and then asks about the pieces a banner needs: whether it has a button, where it sits, how it behaves, and who sees it. You get a summary to approve before anything is created. What comes back is an unpublished draft and a link into the Builder.

Banner copy is deliberately short—one line is ideal. The skill drafts to that length and iterates with you until it's right.

What you'll need

  • The Userflow MCP connected

  • Permission to create flows in Userflow. The skill runs with your own account's permissions.

How to use it

Start a conversation and give it something to work from:

  • "Create a banner about Saturday's maintenance window."

  • "We're running a promo until the end of the month—put a bar at the top of the app."

  • "Turn this ticket into a banner." (paste it, or link the doc)

You can point it at a Notion page, a Jira issue, a Google Doc, or a public URL if the matching connector is available. If it can't reach what you linked, it'll say so and ask you to paste the relevant part rather than guessing at the contents.

Placement and behavior

Every banner needs a placement. Top of page and bottom of page both work entirely through the skill.

Anchoring a banner to a specific element on the page is finished in the Builder instead. Picking an element means clicking it on a live page, which the skill can't do—so it creates the draft with everything else in place and hands you the link to position it. You won't be asked for CSS selectors.

You'll also be asked whether the banner sticks to the edge of the screen as people scroll, and whether it floats over your app's content or pushes it down.

Things worth knowing

Banners have no notification level. That's an announcement thing. A banner is embedded in the page, so there's no silent, badge, or boosted choice—see userflow-announcement-creator if that's what you're after.

Banners don't need a Resource Center. Also unlike announcements—a banner shows up on its own.

Only one banner shows at a time. If you already have live banners, you'll be asked whether this one should take precedence, since the highest-priority eligible banner is the one people see. If you have no other live banners, it won't come up.

Nothing publishes on its own. The draft is created first. You'll be offered the choice to publish, and that's a separate confirmation—or you can review in the Builder and publish there yourself.
