Whatfix Flows are sequential steps that help users learn an objective or complete a task through a series of step-by-step actions. Flows handhold users through various sequential tasks. These steps display as a layer over your web application.

Use the following steps to create a Flow:

  1. Log in to the application where you want to create content, and then launch the Whatfix Studio.

Info
  • You can edit a Flow step during the Flow creation. For more information, see Edit a Flow.
  • The Flow you created is saved on Whatfix, the Flow needs to be pushed to the Whatfix CDN servers before it is available for your users. You may be able to see the content using the Preview mode or the See Live option (during content creation), but for the content to be live and reflect on your end user's application, you must perform a Push to Production.
  1. Once you are done creating the Flow, select the content, and then click Send to ready.
