Here's a quick video on how to install Usetiful
A. Adding the script to your pages
Usetiful works by adding a javascript code to your application that allows to show tour content you build to users. You can find your script on the Overview page after login.
- Click on the "Install to your site" button, and the code will show up.
- Copy it and paste to the end of all pages where the Usetiful should show the content; immediately before the </body> element.
Copy the code in the window and add the code to any page on which you plan to have tours, smart tips or checklists.
Usetiful tours will not work on a page where the script is not present.
Once you installed Usetiful, you can start to publish product tours and begin collecting data for their analysis. The only thing you need to do is to embed a bit of javascript to your website. Tools like Google Tag Manager can make it even easier.
