What are Beacons?

Whatfix Beacons help ensure that you catch the end user's attention and introduce feature updates on your application. Choose from a range of different Beacon options and styles that fit your specific requirements.
For example, use a new-styled Beacon to introduce a new feature or use a ripple-styled Beacon to grab your end user's attention to feature updates.

In the following table, find the 4 Beacon styles that can be used based on your needs.

Use cases

Use Whatfix Beacons to do the following:

• Introduce new features to your end users.
• Inform your end users about change management.
• Remind your end users about the approaching expiry date of a feature or application.

Customize a Beacon and the text that appears with it to suit the rest of your application.
For example, all the Beacons in your account can be Radial styled, but customize one Beacon to be Custom styled when you want to focus on a new update.
