How It Works

Smart Walk-Thrus are built in the WalkMe Editor by connecting step balloons to elements in your application. Each step instructs the user what to do next and advances based on a trigger, such as a click or text entry.

Builders can combine visible steps with behind-the-scenes logic to guide users through different paths, handle errors, or wait for specific conditions. Smart Walk-Thrus can start from launchers or other WalkMe items and continue across pages to support complete, end-to-end processes.
