Use Cases

- 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
