How do I drive Whatfix Help Content Adoption?

Here are some tips to help you improve content visibility and user engagement using Whatfix.

Call attention to Self Help

An effective way to catch your user's attention is to call attention to your Self Help tab. Maybe your user just hasn't noticed Self Help. You can catch their attention by animating the Self Help tab and adding a one-time tooltip. To animate, see Animate the Self Help Tab.

Use Pop-ups to introduce new content

Pop-ups enable you to push out notifications about any information that you want your users to see. Some users may consider all Pop-ups to be annoying or intrusive, so make sure you include the option to opt out.

To create pop-ups, see Create Pop-ups.

Use a Beacon

Since the Self Help animation stops after it is first seen by the user, you can use a Beacon to call attention to specific help content. To create a Beacon, see Beacons.

Ensure Self Help is the only way to access Help

Remove other links to help on your application including chat icons. Enable users to access chat through the Self Help tab. This increases the likeliness that the user sees the new help content. To create a Self Help, see Configure Self Help

Use a Task List

Create a Task List for content that you want all your users to know about and see. Remember to configure Task List to display until all the content has been viewed. For more information, see Configure a Tasklist.

Ensure that the user is not overwhelmed by displaying too many topics altogether.

Use Product Analytics
