Guides Overview
Guides are interactive step-by-step walkthroughs that help users navigate your application. Instead of pointing users to a help center, Guides deliver assistance right where they need it — inside your product.
Guide types
Section titled “Guide types”Marketrix supports two types of Guides:
How-to Guides
Section titled “How-to Guides”Video-based walkthroughs auto-generated from real interactions with your application. Record yourself completing a workflow, and Marketrix turns it into a reusable guide your users can follow.
URL Guides
Section titled “URL Guides”Contextual help that appears automatically when users visit specific pages. Define a URL pattern, write the help content, and the guide triggers whenever a user navigates to a matching page.
| Type | Best for | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| How-to Guide | Complex multi-step workflows | User selects the guide |
| URL Guide | Page-specific tips and onboarding | Automatic on page visit |
How Guides reach your users
Section titled “How Guides reach your users”Guides are deployed through Widgets. Once you assign a guide to a widget, it becomes available to anyone using that widget on your site. URL Guides appear automatically based on page matching, while How-to Guides are available on demand.
