Most successful apps use these strategies to deliver effective support:

Collect and act on feedback

Educate and guide your users

  • Host webinars to showcase new features and answer questions.
  • Link to your website, documentation, and FAQ pages from within your app.
  • Develop step-by-step guides and video tutorials to address common use cases.
  • Integrate in-app help resources like tooltips and guided tours. Wix Blocks and the Wix Design System offer customizable tooltip elements.

Offer real-time assistance

  • Release minor app updates with self-publish.

Tip: To identify users, use the app instance ID or request their email through a form.

Streamline support processes

  • Integrate with third-party support platforms.
  • Include links to support within your app, passing the app instance ID as a query parameter to identify the user.
  • Designate a primary contact for user inquiries, and organize user requests by issue type.
