Product Tours Clicking Link

Every time I click on an element in my product tour, this element leads to a new page instead of just letting me add a pointer to the button itself. Any tips to just grab the element and not have it click me through to the next page? Thanks!

Cannot use double braces in product tour

I am trying to add double braces into a pointer inside of Product Tours. Unfortunately it appears this may already have been used as an internal method to show personalised data, as when I test the tour the value within the double braces does not show. See the two images below.Is there a way to escape these characters? It’s quite important for the functioning of our application to show to correct way to add variables into your app, and without us being able to use these characters it becomes difficult to effectively showcase how our application work.Product Tour ConfigurationProduct Tour Test

How can I get a product tour to preview?

I am able to use the tools to specify the URL and add tour steps to test the feature, but the preview does not show up. I’ve tried changing the audience, even making it available to everyone (Users, Visitors, and Leads), but the preview still does not display. Is there perhaps a setting on my user profile, a permission or role, that needs to be adjusted?Thanks!

Can I create a test user that can be used to test a product tour?

While testing a product tour in a test environment, I found the most frequently I could send a tour to any user was once a day. Can it be made possible to create a test user, or an audience called ‘Test’ that can be sent a product tour more frequently than once a day?  It makes it very hard to test otherwise, and I have had to create many user accounts to test more than once a day. Or is there a way to do this with the current configuration?

Dynamic URL that are not on the first page of the Product Tour.

I’ve checked the previous asked questions, but can’t find a proper way to do it.While creating a Product tour for multiple pages, how can I add steps that should showing up on after navigating away from the first page(ex: abc.com/home), the URL of the second page is generated dynamically, like this: abc.com/project/1234, 1234 is the project id.Scenario: In my tour I ask user to create a new project and this takes the user to new page. Now on the new page, we have the projectId as the url parameter. So when I create a tour and user clicks on the New Project button, I want to show the following steps when the user navigate to abc.com/project/1234Is there a way that I can input the dynamic URL for the second or even the third page in a tour?

Product Tour showing on other pages

Hi, I launched a product tour twice and both times the issues are mostly that it’s appearing on other pages for some users. Is there something I’m missing when setting up the URLs?I’ve attached screenshots of my URL settings and a screenshot of the issues. The only solution I found is to add all the “does no contain” links to keep it from popping up on those pages. Is there another way around this?Thank you in advance,Sulamita

If a user engaged with/completed a tour does it stop showing for them?

I want to make sure a tour stops showing when a user has completed the tour. Is this done manually everyday by tagging everyone who has completed? Would the best option be: “Send every time the person matches the rules”Thank you in advance!Sulamita

Product tour only showing after page refresh

Hi, a a product tour I built is only showing after page refresh. I added a “wait 3 seconds” rule to see if there needs to be a delay but that didn’t help. I’ve seen in another question that selecting an element “by text” may be a better option but I’m not seeing that option anywhere.

Deleting my user info so I can preview live multiple times

Hi, is there a way to preview live without having to duplicate the product tours so many times or creating multiple profiles? For example a way I can find myself as a user and just delete the user info each time so that I can continue testing?

Series not going live and how to preview?

I’ve tried using the series but nothing happens when I set it live (only for myself to preview). I tagged the tooltips and product tour then added them to the series. I’ve also tried setting the tooltips and product tour live then setting the series live but I can’t tell if that worked just because I set them live individually.

Tooltip improperly appearing

Hi, When I preview a tooltip in the edit section, it shows up how I want it. But when I save and close then preview, it shows up large, cutoff and highlighting another area instead of the selected button. First image is how I want it to show up, the way it does in edit preview mode. Second image is how it shows up after saving, closing and previewing.

Hi there,All of a sudden all of my product tour pointers are not rendering correctly. See the screenshot. This is happening on all of my product tours, even if I create a new one. We have not changed anything in our frontend UI. Any ideas?

Turning off steps view

Is there a way to remove “step 1 of 5” from the product tours? In some cases we would like to show the steps and in other cases we wouldn’t. Just wanting to know if that’s an option.

Product Tour Pointer for Fill in the blank Not Functioning Properly

The Product tour allows me to assign a pointer to a pop up field that has text fields to fill in. When testing, the fields do not let us enter the information and shows the “Next” button blurred out. I have tried other types of pointers to see if we can get around this issue but unfortunately, the ‘Fill out Field’ pointer is the best use for this case. In depth Explanation:This occurs on a pop up We have adjusted the focus trapping to allow us to point to the fields and we can add pointers for buttons in the fields During the preview testing, it does not allow text to be entered in on the fields The Pointer dialogue displays correctly with the correct text but it shows the “next” button which is greyed out and cannot be pressed I doublechecked to make sure that the pointer was indeed set to ‘Fill in the blank’ and it is.  Thank you for any feedback that you can provide.

Product Tour Pointers Wont allow text to be added in pop ups

While Creating a product tour, I noticed that when trying to assign a pointer to a pop-up window, that when trying to add the descriptive text in, it will not allow you to type anything. Even adding a post instead will not allow text to be entered into the description as long as the pop up is open.

Issue with tour pointer

I’m designing a product tour to allow users to add information. We currently have an add new button at the top of the table, and one underneath. The top button works fine, but when I add the step to click on the bottom button, everything seems okay until I go in to preview it. The step scrolls to the bottom, but the box with the step description gets stuck at the middle of the page and doesn’t point to the other button. I’ve tried having it point to the CSS selector in the advanced, but can’t seem to get it to work. Please see attached screenshot. you can see the 5 of 5 for the box in the tour at the top, and the add new button at the bottom. I’ve also tried this with a unique button at the bottom of the page and I still get the same issue.

Use same data-intercom-target label in different components/elements

I’m creating a Design System/UI Kit where I also want to add the data-intercom-target to each element/component of the DS/UI Kit, to make it easy for other colleagues to create Product Tours in our app but selecting a specific element in the page, instead of using a CSS class (which is a bit hard atm).Since I’m considering keeping the data-intercom-target generic for each element/component (i.e. every Primary button will have a <button data-intercom-target="primary-button" ...>, I want to know if this is possible or if will cause any constrains.Namely, if a page has several elements with the same data-intercom-target (like, 10 Secondary buttons), if I select one on my product tour, will all of them be selected? Or will the product tour break, since it finds 9 other with the same data target? Or will Intercom just select a specific “secondary button” (that happens to have the same data target as the other buttons) and ignore the other?Thanks in advance! TL;DR: Can I use same data-

How do I open a messenger window from a link in a product tour?

I want to open an intercom messenger in the product without use clicking on the messenger icon.  For example, I want to add a link in a product tour that says "Contact us", which opens a messenger window when user clicks it.

"Save" button not showing

Once I create my product tour, I cannot makes content/word edits, because there is no save button! It might be because I have it pointing at an element to click, so once I select that step, it pushes to the next page, not allowing me to “save” my edits on that step. Can I suggest a “save and continue” button to capture that pages changes?
