Here are some tips to help you improve content visibility and user engagement using Whatfix.
Call attention to Self Help
A very 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 Animating the Self Help Tab
Note
Make sure that the colors that you use for Self Help have enough contrast when compared with the color of your application.
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 Creating Pop-ups.
Use a Beacon
Since the Self Help animation stops after it is first seen by the user, you can try to 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. Allow 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 Configuring 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 Configuring a Tasklist.
Ensure that the user is not overwhelmed by displaying too many topics altogether.
Use User Actions to track engagement
User Actions, as the name indicates, enable you to track your end users' actions and analyze their behavior on your application. You can follow your end users' progress and behavior even if they do not engage with Whatfix content. For more information, see User Actions.
Other ways of catching the user's attention
You can also consider using offline methods like creating periodic emails or newsletters to inform users of new content that is now available. Include a list of top issues along with possible solutions.
