Flow Steps
Brief Overview
Smart Walk-Thru Flow Steps allow you to change the way that users go through a Smart Walk-Thru process. Flow Steps are an essential part of developing Smart Walk-Thrus that accommodate different situations and types of users.
Unlike regular Steps in a Smart Walk-Thru, which are visible and provide guidance to the end user on a website, Flow Steps are not visible to the end user; rather they allow you to control how the Smart Walk-Thru plays. Regular steps appear as blue and Flow Steps appears as orange in the Smart Walk-Thru Map in the Editor.
Split
Accommodate Alternative Paths Through A Process
Splits allow for variation in your guidance. A Split will create a branch off the Main Path where you can create dedicated steps that will only show under certain circumstances. Using Splits allow you to make flexible guidance that can accommodate users to take different paths through a process.

Automate Element-Oriented Actions On Behalf of a User
Smart Walk-Thrus can go further than directing a user to enter text or click a link; they can actually automate those actions and perform them on users' behalves. Auto-Steps can perform all manner of element-oriented actions, such as clicking on, hovering over, focusing on, and filling text into an element, or selecting a list value from a dropdown menu.

Set WalkMe Data
Use Cookies To Track User Behavior
WalkMe Data is information you can store in the end-user's browser such as when they select an item or land on a specific page. WalkMe Data is set using a WalkMe Data Flow Step. This data can then be used in the Rule Engine to contextualize your WalkMe support; for example, to Segment items, create Splits, or initiate a Walk-Thru to play automatically.
