Analytics & Insights 📈

Identify who views your demos - without collecting emails!

Shared by Maya • May 06, 2024

Hi friend,

Until now, the only way to track who viewed your demos was by collecting viewers’ emails.

This led to you seeing anonymous views, hindering your ability to fully analyze your demos.

Now, you can track who viewed your demo by identifying viewers with email parameters without viewers needing to enter their emails.

What’s in it for you?

  • You’ll no longer see anonymous viewers in your insights.
  • Allow users to watch the demo without needing to enter their emails.

To learn more about this feature, check out this Walnut demo or read this article.

Shared by Maya • April 03, 2024

Hi Friend,

Now, you have the ability to personalize your demos on the fly without having to create a new demo for every viewer.

This new capability works by fetching external inputs either from external sources like contact lists or an email automation system, or from internal inputs like lead forms.

What are the use cases?

1. Embed a demo with lead forms on your website or landing page— You can change the content of the variable on the screen or in the guides through the user input in the lead form.

2. Send outreach emails from a marketing automation system— You’ll be able to send emails with demos from platforms like Sendbird, Intercom, Salesloft, and Outreach.

Introducing personalized insights!

Shared by Maya • April 02, 2024

Hi Friend,

It used to be that any user had access to insights across the account, regardless of a demo’s permission level.

But now, you can display personalized insights. This means that users will have access to only insights for the demos they created or the demos that were shared with them on an individual, group, or company level.

Admins can continue to see insights for all demos by turning on the Super Admin toggle.

New feature: Create personalized demos directly from specific opportunities in Salesforce!

Maya avatar
Shared by Maya • March 26, 2024

Hi friend,

Now, you can not only add CRM variables to templates, but also create and send interactive demos directly from Salesforce.

This means that your team can access any template directly from Salesforce and that your demos will be automatically linked to the originating opportunity because they were created directly in the CRM.

In addition, if your template includes CRM variables, they'll be automatically filled in with information from the opportunity it’s linked to.

All so you never have to leave your Salesforce workflows.

To learn more, check out this Walnut demo or read the article.

FYI: This feature is only accessible by installing the Walnut app within Salesforce.

Shared by Maya • March 21, 2024

Hi Friend,

Calling all Admins!

Now, you can define the default settings for all of the company’s demos to reduce human error and make sure your team adheres to the company standards.

This means that for demo gate, Admins can determine:

1. Whether the demo gate is on or off.

2. If non-work domains (@gmail, @yahoo, and @outlook) can access the demo.

3. If there’s a welcome message.

4. What the colors are.

5. What the preview settings are.

Admins can also create an allowed or blocked list to define who has access to the company’s demos.

FYI: Changes in the company settings will only apply to newly created demos. In addition, when a user creates a demo, they should see the pre-set values that the Admin defined.

New Text-To-Speech feature: Use AI to transform your guides into audio 🎵

Maya avatar
Shared by Maya • March 05, 2024

Hi Friend,

Now, it’s easier than ever before to turn your text guides into audio guides, without the need to record each one separately and upload the file manually.

With AI, you can now combine Text-To-Speech and autoplay to create a more passive viewing experience and improve accessibility.

How can you use this feature?

1. Create an autoplay presentation that you can use during a conference or a tradeshow.

2. Make your demo more accessible for vision-impaired viewers.

FYI: The audio won’t be automatically updated when your guide text is modified. So, to update the generated audio, you need to generate a new file and delete the old one.
