Last Updated August 31, 2026

Brief Overview

If you cannot access your website/application's HTML, or prefer not to manually alter it for any reason, you can deploy the WalkMe extension on your users' browsers, which will insert the WalkMe snippet into the HTML of the relevant pages.

The page displays with 2 tabs:

  • The Mass Deployment Wizard
  • All-in-One Installer

It is recommended to select the Mass Deployment Wizard

You can use the ActionBot to assist you in setting up the WalkMe extension.

(check if this works)

Select Copy URL to mass deploy the extension through either the AIO or Mass Deployment Wizard method and send it to your IT admins.

If you're still unable to find the configuration you're looking for, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.

If no extensions are currently deployed in your organisation you can choose one of our deployment guides to mass deploy the extension.

If your organisation is already deploying mass extension then this may not work.

  1. Choose which browsers you want to install the extension on
  2. Select Download for your specific platform (for example; Mac or Windows)

Confirm the installation

  1. After mass deploying the extension or using the AIO Installer close the browser and then re-open it
  2. Select the puzzle icon from your browser toolbar and search for the WalkMe icon
