The Drip Content plugin lets you deliver content in a sequence—unlocking slides based on time delays, deep links, or a user’s target date. Each slide can include an image, title, description, and action item that leads to other parts of your app. This is ideal for training programs, onboarding sequences, lessons, and timed content delivery
