product tours

Walk users through your product
step by step

Build interactive product tours with a no-code Chrome Extension.
Guide new signups to their first value in minutes, not weeks.

Build and launch tours without touching code

Your product tour goes live from a Chrome Extension. Open it on any page of your app, point and click to select elements, add text, and publish. No developer tickets, no sprint planning, no waiting.

Each tour is a sequence of steps: tooltips that highlight specific elements, modals for context and announcements, and input fields that prompt users to take action. You control the pace, the path, and the conditions for each one.

What you can do with
Product Tours

Build multi-page tours, branch by user choice, personalize with attributes, and see drop-off step by step.

Step types for every scenario

  • Tooltips that anchor to specific UI elements and explain what they do
  • Modals in multiple sizes and positions for welcome screens, announcements, or context
  • Input fields that highlight form fields and validate user input before advancing
  • Autofill support to pre-populate fields and reduce friction during setup flows
  • Progress bars and step counters so users know exactly where they are in the tour

Multi-page flows that follow the user

  • Tours that span across different URLs within the same application
  • Steps trigger when users click highlighted elements or buttons, so navigation feels natural
  • Works on any page where your UserGuiding container code is installed
  • Guides reconnect automatically after page transitions and URL changes

Conditional branching and connected tours

  • Custom buttons that launch different tours based on user choices
  • Guide Lists that let users pick their own path from a set of related tours
  • Chain multiple tours together to build full onboarding sequences
  • Merge two guides by triggering one from another's step or from a hotspot

Targeting and segmentation

  • Show tours only to specific user segments based on attributes, behavior, or events
  • Page targeting controls which URLs a tour starts on (exact match, contains, regex)
  • Auto-trigger on page load or use custom triggers via JavaScript API
  • Schedule tours to appear within a specific date range
  • Set frequency: show once, every session, or until completed

Personalization and theming

  • Insert user attributes like {{name}} or {{companyName}} directly into step content
  • Fallback values for missing attributes (e.g., "Hi, {{first_name | there}}!")
  • Custom themes with brand fonts, colors, and button styles applied globally
  • Full CSS customization on Growth plans and above
  • Embed images, GIFs, and videos inside any step
  • Right-to-left (RTL) text support for Arabic, Hebrew, and similar languages

Analytics built into every tour

  • Total views, completions, and completion rate per tour
  • Step-level analytics showing exactly where users drop off
  • Click action tracking on every button within a step
  • Filter reports by date range with daily, weekly, or monthly intervals
  • Export user lists and analytics as CSV for further analysis
  • Performance Dashboard for a cross-tour overview of all live content

Frequently Asked Questions

How to create a product tour with UserGuiding

With UserGuiding, you can create product tours that guide users through an application or a website's user interface (UI) and capabilities in four short steps.

To create a product tour with UserGuiding, start by installing the UserGuiding Chrome extension and logging into your dashboard.

Then, you’ll have two options: using UserGuiding’s extension on the webpage you wish to create a guide on or logging into the panel and accessing the feature from there.

If you opt for the panel option, select the “Engagement” tab from the left-hand menu, click on “Guides”, and then “Create a Guide” to begin building your tour.

You can then navigate through your platform and add steps by clicking on elements you want to highlight; each step can include tooltips, modals, or input fields with customizable text, visuals, and triggers.

Once your tour is built, you can set targeting rules based on user behavior, segments, or page URLs to ensure it reaches the right audience at the right time.

When you're ready, simply publish the tour and it will go live inside your app without any need for coding.
