How to Launch a Guide Based on User Interaction - Create a "Launcher Guide"

Don't wait for the users to pull the guide, push the guide to them:

• The best way to train a user (on a process) is when s/he uses the process for the first time.
• You want to share more information with the user about the feature he/she has just started using.

Guided Learning allows you to launch a guide based on a user's interaction with your application. Common use cases would be:

• Launch the 'create lead' guide as soon as the user clicked on the 'create new lead' button. Or more generally, launch a walkthrough guide as soon as the user clicked on a button.
• Launch a guide as soon as the user starts filling a form
• Launch a guide when the page contains something. For example, launch a guide if a common error message appears on the screen.

We call these guides Guided Learning Launcher Guides.

Normally, a launcher guide would have a single, invisible step that would wait for the desired user interaction. And a branch to launch the desired guide as soon as the user makes this desired interaction.
