Onboarding

"Email wasn’t working, and obviously we don’t have the bandwidth to call all of our customers to tell them about updates . . . Pendo In-app Guides allow us to coach our customers on how to use a feature, tell them when updates are coming, or make them aware of any issues that could affect their business."
