# What are Whatfix Pop-ups?

Whatfix Pop-ups are information widgets used to inform your users about things that need their immediate attention. Whatfix enables you to choose from 6 Pop-up templates. These templates cover all types of information and announcements you want to convey to your users. For more information, see [Choose a Pop-up template](/desktop/docs/choosing-a-pop-up-template).

Use Pop-ups to

- Introduce new features to your users and give them a product walkthrough by attaching the [Pop-up with Flows](/studio/docs/pop-up-with-flow-attached).
- Notify users about product and software updates
- Drive user action like completing a survey
- Inform users about a celebratory event
- Inform your users about an upcoming downtime

Customize the Pop-up to appear only to a specific group of people who have a shared characteristic, such as a specific user role, users who are new, or are from the same department. For more information, see [Schedule Pop-ups](/desktop/docs/schedulingpop-ups).
