New demo customization flow to improve the handoff between editors & sellers!

Shared by Maya • July 26, 2023

Hi Friend,

Our main mission in life is to make sure you’re getting the most out of Walnut.

And that’s exactly what the new demo customization flow will empower you to do, by improving the handoff between editors & sellers!

Up until now, sellers couldn’t easily leverage all of Walnut’s capabilities.

In addition, it was up to editors to not only create and edit demo templates, but also publish them.

Now, editors will have a new way to share demo templates to give sellers one consolidated place to preview the template, personalize it with variables, allow prospects to add comments, connect it to their CRM, and share the link with prospects. All with the peace of mind that the demo’s narrative won’t be changed.

How the new customization flow can help you:

  • Simplify process for sellers—All of the capabilities sellers need can now be found under one roof—without relying on the editors. Plus, sellers will be able to easily track their opportunities and respond immediately.
  • Scale collaboration—Reduce the overload on the team and decrease the execution time. Editors can share demo templates with the rest of the team so they don’t need to maintain demo links. Plus, they won’t need to worry about other people editing the product narrative.

Hi Friend,

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a Super Admin! 🦸‍♂️ 

Gain complete control over all the demos and templates created within your organization, even those that haven’t been shared with you.

Up until now, this feature was only available to Account Owners. Now, all admins can join in the fun too, and view every demo and template!

How it works:

  1. Switch on the toggle in the top right corner of your templates or demos page where it says ‘View all templates and demos’.
  2. That’s it! You'll now be able to see every template and demo produced by your organization. Super easy, right?

  2. Once they request access, all admins will receive an email to grant the request.

New: Share demo templates with user groups

Yael avatar
Shared by Yael • July 06, 2023

Hi Friend,

Our goal is to help you spread the word with your product demos.

So say “goodbye” to sending each demo template individually. From now on, you can easily organize your team into groups to manage permissions, and share content with all of them at once.

Some ideas of what you can do with user groups:

  • Get the relevant content in reps’ hands
  • Collect more feedback - faster

How to set user groups:

  • First create user groups - Go to the Company Settings tab to set your user groups. Note: Only Admins can create and manage groups.
  • Segment your team groups - You can define groups however you want: by teams, permissions, product lines, regions, or any other idea you have in mind.
  • Add anyone to the relevant groups - You can add people to more than one group.
  • Share templates with groups - Share templates with your team in bulk, with different file-level permissions.

P.S - Very soon, you’ll be able to share folders with the user groups too.

Shared by Yael • July 06, 2023

Hi Friend,

Keep your demos updated with your evolving product by replacing existing screens with newly captured screens.
​

The best part? You don’t need to re-add guides, Variables, or links, and edit all over again. Simply recapture your screen using the ‘Update screen’ method and voila! Everything will be automatically added to your newly updated screen.

  • You’ve released a new feature and wanna add it to your existing demos.
  • You want to use a new Walnut capability to edit your existing demos.
  • You want to change the flow of an existing demo.
    ​

How it works:

  1. Head to the screen you want to update.
  2. Open the extension and change the capture method to ‘Update screen’.
  3. Select which existing screen you wish to update.
  4. Capture your product and accept! Old guides and edits are automatically applied to your updated screen.
