Whatfix enables you to add a link to an external source of content in the list of the content displayed in Self Help.

Note

You can also integrate your existing Content Repository with Whatfix and display them as contextual links in Self Help.
For more information, see Integrating your Content with Whatfix.

Here's a GIF on how a link clicked from Self Help opens as a pop-up inside the same page of your application.

Adding a link to Self Help is a two-step process:

Note

If you have enabled Smart Context, all content created on your application is auto-tagged. However, static content (text, video, and links) is not created on your application, and you must add the global-page tag to display such content in the Self Help widget on your application.

If the tag doesn't work on your account, contact Whatfix Support at [email protected]
