The in-app chat support allows the users to have firsthand information and enables quicker onboarding. The user does not require leaving and logging back again to the app, which makes in-app live chat feature a must-have.
  2. Interactive tutorials: The user onboarding software can be used to direct the customers to interactive tutorials when the activation, use or any other form of information requires more than a few steps. With the help of interactive tutorials, the makers provide all possible information needed, and can step in anytime to elaborate better if any feature is left unexplained. Thus, there is better understanding and higher comfort level created.
