Auto-Play Smart Walk-Thru based on Element in Cross-Domain iFrame

Last Updated October 5, 2025

Issue

If your site utilizes cross-domain iFrames, you may run into scenarios where you'd like to auto-play a Smart Walk-Thru based on an element. The information below will help you configure this.

Solution

There are some things to consider when setting up a Smart Walk-Thru to auto-play based on an element in a cross-domain iFrame:

  • You cannot use iFrame jQuery on cross-domain iFrames
  • You must confirm WalkMe is being injected in the cross-domain iFrame whether the snippet or extension is being utilized
  • If the above has been confirmed, you can follow the steps below to configure the Smart Walk-Thru:
    • Create your Smart Walk-Thru and select the element in the cross-domain iFrame you would like to point to in your first step
    • Upon selecting the element in the step above, a switch to frame step will be automatically created as your first step
    • Navigate to your auto-play rule under Initiators panel and create a rule based on an on-screen element in the cross-domain iFrame being visible
Note

Rule engine will evaluate as False because the element is in a cross-domain iFrame, but when you preview it, it should play as expected.
