Using Website Functions within WalkMe

Last Updated December 5, 2024

Brief Overview 

Website functions outside of WalkMe couldn't be used within the various WalkMe features. As a result, the information contained within those functions needed to be available in the form of a variable for WalkMe to leverage.

Now the following WalkMe features support the use of website functions:

  • UUID
  • Rule Engine
  • WalkMe Data
  • Analytics

How to Use

To define any of the mentioned WalkMe features, please use the 'Variable' type, for example:

  • Creating a rule based on a function's returned value
  • Creating a UUID based on a website function

Technical Notes

  • The best practice is to make the function available on all pages across the environment
  • The function must be populated before WalkMe has loaded on the page
  • Function must return a text value, or an array of values
  • Arguments cannot be used while incorporating the function into the rule (nothing inside the parenthesis)
  • When the returned value is a JSON, we can add a parameter after the function to further refine it
    • For example, if getUser() returns {Name:”Test User”, ID: “123”} then getUser().Name will only return the value “Test User”
  • Functions are not intended for mathematical calculations
