Userlane Assistant Help

About Assistant Help

The Assistant Help option allows you to add two links to additional resources such as a help center, support chat, or a communication platform channel such as Slack or MS Teams. Enable the Help button to link users directly to these resources without leaving your application.

Add and enable links

We display two default use cases for the links but you can provide links to any resource that you think would be most helpful to your users. Remember to change the default texts of the links if you are linking to resources other than documentation or your application's support. See Customize the Help option, below.

To add a link:

  1. Go to Customize > Help in your Userlane Portal.
  2. Enter the full URL of your link in the Documentation Link input field, e.g. https://docs.userlane.com.
  3. To add a second link, enter the full URL in the Support Link input field.
  4. Once you are ready to activate a link for your users, enable the corresponding Display Link toggle.
ℹ️  The Help button in the Assistant is only displayed to users if you have enabled at least one link.
