Case Study: Snapchat builds a cross-device messaging prototype with ProtoPie

Snapchat builds a two-device messaging prototype in 5 steps with ProtoPie

The customer, Snapchat, needed to create a high-fidelity prototype for an in-app messaging experience that involved real-time communication between two separate devices. To achieve this, they utilized the vendor ProtoPie and its prototyping tool to build a seamless cross-device interaction for testing and demonstration purposes.

The solution implemented by ProtoPie involved creating two interconnected prototypes, a sender and a receiver, using ProtoPie Studio. By employing triggers, responses, and variables to manage the message flow, and then leveraging ProtoPie Connect to enable the two devices to communicate, the team successfully prototyped a bidirectional messaging feature. This allowed Snapchat to effectively showcase and test the specific interaction with stakeholders, demonstrating the practical application and capability of the ProtoPie platform.
