Article Summary

Whatfix can be used to create various types of onboarding, training, and help content for web-based applications.

Here are some use cases for various Whatfix features.

Use Smart Tips to display contextual information about a specific UI on a page. For example, a tip to help with entering information in a form. Smart Tips can also be used to validate user input in a text box to comply with a given format or specific requirement.

For more information, see Smart Tips.

Draw user attention using Beacons

Use Beacons to attract attention to a single important element within your application UI, for example, a new feature. Catch the attention of your end user and introduce them to the new functionalities.

Create a quick start button using Launcher

Whatfix enables you to add customizable buttons that can trigger Whatfix content like Flows, Pop-ups, Links, and Videos. Launchers are always available on the application for your users to access at any time.
For example, you could use Launchers to introduce the survey in a way that would enable them to take it up whenever they are ready to take it.

Consolidate and display intelligent help using Self Help

Use Self Help to display contextual help content (including an available list of Flows) from various sources, including knowledge bases, and display it according to the end user's current context within the application. Information is auto-segmented, reducing support overhead.

For more information, see Self Help.

Collect feedback from users using Surveys

Whatfix enables you to create different types of surveys, like NPS Surveys, Usability Surveys, and Custom Surveys and customize them based on your requirements. The feedback can help you understand how users perceive your product and improve the user experience.

Auto-test content

Applications are constantly updated. This often results in broken Flows as elements change on the application. With the Whatfix Auto Testing feature, you can proactively check your content for breakages and ensure a smooth end-user experience. This feature helps you to not only detect Flow failures but also to fix them before your end users face issues on your application. You can either schedule test runs or run these tests on demand.

For more information, see Auto Testing.

Track Analytics with Whatfix's Guidance Analytics

With Whatfix's Guidance analytics, you can see how your content is being consumed by your end users. Guidance analytics also helps you understand how users are engaging with content and what content areas need more attention.

For more information, see Whatfix Analytics.

Track end-user engagement on your application

User Actions enable you to track your end users' actions and analyze their behavior on your application. Based on the insights from User Actions, you can take steps to engage the right groups of users to efficiently drive business growth and understand user behavior in depth. User actions also enable you to target specific content based on specific user activity. It also enables you to track usage patterns by running A/B tests.
