What is a resource center?

In the first video of the series Userflow co-founder Esben Friis-Jensen introduces you to what a resource center is and some of the powers of having it in your SaaS application.

Self-help widget
With a Userflow resource center, you can empower users find help on their own, directly in your app.
Always-on
By having the resource center always on users can get quality support without you being online.
Multi-purpose
A resource center can be used for multiple things, like checklists, knowledge base search and more.

Checklist

A great thing to include in a resource center is a checklist that gives users the possibility to do task-by-task onboarding. Learn how to do it in this video.

Onboard task-by-task
By embedding a checklist in your resource center you allow users to feel accomplishment by completing a set of initial onboarding tasks.
Target the right users
You can set auto-start conditions with user attributes for your checklist to target the right users with the right onboarding.
Allow users to dismiss/reopen
By using a conditional resource center action block you can allow users to dismiss and reopen the checklist on demand.

AI Assistant

With the latest developments in generative AI having a AI assistant in your resource center has become a need-to-have. See how you can create your own AI assistant in this video.

Knowledge base/website as input

Knowledge base search

Besides from the AI assistant, having a structured knowledge base search can be a great functionality for end users who prefer this. See how you can add it using Userflow in this video.
