Embedded Contextual Help Touchpoint

Applies to:
MindTouch (current)
Role required:
Admin
Extend a MindTouch page into a third-party website or application for embedded access without a pop-up needed to view the content.

Prerequisites

Use Cases

Embed your content into any webpage or app where you want MindTouch-powered content to display side-by-side in another interface. Different from the Contextual Help Touchpoint that triggers a pop-up viewer on top of the interface, Embedded Contextual Help displays the content inline.

  • Navigate or interact through MindTouch content embedded in another interface
  • Useful in e-commerce site or anywhere that a user is trying to accomplish a task
  • Used inside CRM/Contact Center Integrations to display articles after search results are clicked
  • Can programmatically display dynamically chosen content (if needed, contact your Customer Success Manager).
  • Inline container displays the page you designated during setup
  • Users can further navigate content on your site:
    • Back.  Displays the page previously viewed in the contextual help dialog
    • Forward.  Displays the next page viewed in the contextual help dialog
    • Home.  Takes users to the home page of your site
    • Open article.  Opens the current article inside your site in a new tab or window

Limitations

  • No native search functionality
  • No custom CSS available for the embedded frame and buttons, but custom CSS from the site will load inside the embedded frame
