Cues are contextual, just-in-time nudges that appear within your end users’ flow of work to guide them toward the next steps.
Cues creation is a two-step process:
Step 1: Create Cues
Step 2: Configure Cues
Expand the following accordions for more details:
Step 1: Create Cues
Use the following steps to create a Cue:
- Log in to your application, and then launch the Whatfix Studio.

Under CONTENT, click Cues.

Enter a name for the Cue collection.

Info:
A Cue collection is a group of Cues created on the same page of an application.
Whatfix enables you to add up to 50 Cues to a Cue collection.
The Cue collection name is solely for your reference and is not visible to the end user.
Under CONFIGURATION, click Add Cue.

Enter a heading for the Cue. In this example, the Cue identifies a high-value opportunity with no recent activity and prompts the seller to follow up with the customer.

Enter a description for the Cue.

Click Add button. It is mandatory for the Cue to contain at least one button.

Info:
Whatfix enables you to add up to two buttons to a Cue.
Enter a name for the button. In this example, the button opens an Automated Flow, which launches Copilot, inserts a predefined prompt, and helps draft an outreach email that progresses the deal.

Under Action, select the required button action from the dropdown.

The following table lists the different types of Button Action, their behaviors and descriptions:
Button Action
Behavior
Open Flow
Launches a Whatfix Flow directly from the Cue to guide end users through a step-by-step process.
Example: Use the action when a Cue identifies a key moment, such as an overdue opportunity or incomplete field, and guides end users through the next steps using a Whatfix Flow.
Open Link
Redirects end users to an external link.
Example: Use the action when a Cue surfaces helpful reference material, such as documentation, templates, or policy pages and needs to direct end users to an external resource.
Note:
You need to add your links on the Whatfix dashboard as a Static content before using them in Cues. For more information, see Create a Link.
Open Video
Plays a video.
Example: Use the action when a Cue appears during a complex workflow and needs to show a quick how-to or training video to help end users complete the task.
Note
You need to upload your videos on the Whatfix dashboard as a Static content before using them in Cues. For more information, see Upload Videos to your Dashboard.
No Action
Does not trigger any interactive response, such as Flow, Link, or Pop-up.
Example: Use the action when a Cue needs to inform or remind end users, such as highlighting a best practice or providing a nudge, without opening any additional content.
See a preview of the Cue. Make any changes if required.
