Next step

Audience: Low-code Engineers

Skill Prerequisites: Actions, User Guides

Moves the user to the next step of the guide they're following. Use it on a step's button, typically one labeled Next. The current step is marked as done, and the next step is shown.

This action is only available in User Guides.

Which step is next​

The next step is the first step after the current one, in the guide's step order, that the user can see:

  • A step with a Condition is used only if the condition is true for this user.
  • A step without a condition is used only if it's enabled.

Steps that don't qualify are skipped. If there's no step left, the action shows the error No next step. Use Finish guide on the last step instead.

Typical Use Cases​

  • The Next button of a step
  • Skip steps that don't apply to a user, by giving those steps a condition

Don't use it to​

Action NameDescription
Previous stepMoves back to the previous step.
Go to stepMoves to a step you choose.
Finish guideMarks the guide as finished and closes it.

Input Parameter Reference​

This action has no parameters.

Considerations​

  • Progress is saved per user. The current step is marked Done in the user's step history, and the next step becomes their current step. The user continues from there the next time the guide is shown.
  • The guide must be running. If the user has no current step in this guide, the action does nothing.
  • The step is shown right away, so actions after this one on the same button don't run.
