  • Personalize first-touch support
  • Reuse existing guides
  • Reduce onboarding friction

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Contentful graphql once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation for onboarding recommendations.
  • 3Tell Notis to query Contentful for guides matching the new user's product or use case and summarize the recommended sequence.
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real user.
