Brief Overview
Dynamic Text for Smart Walk-Thru Auto-Steps and Redirect Steps can auto-fill text into input fields or redirect users to URLs using dynamic values. This is crucial since not all users go through automated processes the same way; some fields may need to be filled in with dynamic content, and, in some cases, users may need to be redirected to different web pages.

How it Works
Dynamic Text for Smart Walk-Thru Auto Steps and Redirect Steps pulls values from the page’s HTML (via jQuery), website cookies (small pieces of text that websites send to the browser and that are stored on the end-user’s terminal), variables, or WalkMe Data, and then reuses those values to save users time and minimize user-error.
