# Link a Flow to a Smart Tip

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> - Whatfix evaluates only one Smart Tip Collection per page at any given time. To show two or more Smart Tips on the same page, create them as part of a single Collection.
> - Whatfix also enables you to display multiple Smart Tip Collections on the same page. To enable this feature, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?subject=Request%20to%20enable%20the%20Unified%20Content%20Experience&body=Hi%20Whatfix%20Support%20Team%2C%0A%0APlease%20enable%20the%20Unified%20Content%20Experience%20for%20my%20account.%0A%0AThanks%2C%0A).

Whatfix enables you to link an existing Flow to the text of the Smart Tip. Your end users have the option to either view the Flow or skip it. Linking a Flow to a Smart Tip enables the user to complete an associated action on your application thus increasing their engagement with your application.

## Use Cases

Link a Flow to a Smart Tip in the following cases:

- You have a Smart Tip introducing new feature updates to your end users: Linking a Flow enables you to provide a better understanding as you are able to redirect your end users to the new application elements.
- You have a Smart Tip reminding end users to complete a certain procedure: Linking an instructional Flow can help your end users complete the task easily.
