Article summary

To display information to users before running a Flow, Whatfix enables the configuration of a Pop-up called Flow information Pop-up. The Pop-up appears before the steps in a Flow start appearing.

For example, instruct users to keep particular information accessible before running a Flow to prevent any interruptions. Achieve this use case by adding the wfx_play_as_popup tag, either in the Studio while creating a Flow or on the Dashboard after Flow creation.

Note:
  • Flow Title and Description appear in the Pop-up.
  • The Flow information Pop-up does not appear if the Flow is attached to a Pop-up.

Use the following steps to show information to your users before running a Flow:

  1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Content.
    ia_left_nav_content

  2. Click Flows.
    ia_left%20nav_flows

  1. Select the Flows you want to launch as a Pop-up.
    CLM_DB_select_flows

  2. Click the Tags icon.
    clm_db_tags

  3. In the dialog box, click the Plus icon.
    RB_dashboard_manage_tags_plus_button

  4. Search for the wfx_play_as_popup tag and select it from the list.
    RB_dashboard_manage_tags_play_popup

  5. Click Done.
