Convert a Smart Walk-Thru to a Conversation

Last Updated June 4, 2025

Brief Overview

Users can seamlessly connect a Smart Walk-Thru to a conversation. This functionality enables users to initiate conversations directly from an existing Smart Walk-Thru, enhancing user interaction, engagement and streamlining communication processes.

How It Works

How to connect an existing Smart Walk-Thru to an ActionBot conversation

For an existing Smart Walk-Thru, ActionBot conversations can be added as an initiator.

  1. Sign in to your WalkMe editor account
  2. Click on the Smart Walk-Thru in the item list
  3. Click the Initiators button at the top of your Smart Walk-Thru
  4. Click + Add conversation
  5. You will be redirected to a popup on the console conversations list page with two pages:
    1. Add conversation
    2. Question setup

Add conversation

  1. Enter a conversation name
    1. By default, the name will match the Smart Walk-Thru title
  2. Manage keywords:
    1. Click Bulk add to add multiple keywords, and either:
        1. Manually enter each keyword
          1. Press Enter after each keyword to separate them
          2. Click Apply
        2. Click Import CSV
          1. Click Apply
    2. Enter individual keywords in the keywords text field

    3. Click the Assign bots dropdown to add a bot to the conversation

    4. Click Next

Question setup

The Smart Walk-Thru steps will be converted into conversation questions, which will be displayed in this section.

Note

  • If you don't have any Auto-Steps, the ActionBot will only act as a launcher
  • If you add Auto-Steps (recommended), the ActionBot will launch the Smart Walk-Thru and automate a process for your users
    • The ActionBot will create a question for each Fill Text and Select List Value Auto-Step you include
    • If you use the Fill Text or Select List Value Auto-Steps, write any value you want for each Step
      • The ActionBot will later replace these values with unique variables, which you can review in the Advanced Settings section

  1. Edit the question text and name

  2. To create the conversation, either:

    1. Click Create to create the conversation and be redirected to the conversations list page

    2. Click Create and open conversation to create the conversation and be redirected to the conversation editing page
