We know you love using Hotspots to guide users, highlight new features, and deliver quick in-app tips — and now, they’re more powerful and customizable than ever.

Here’s what’s new:

• Custom Hotspot Beacons: Upload your own image or logo to make your Hotspots match your brand. Perfect for highlighting key areas with your product’s unique visual touch.
• Flexible Message Box Placement: Choose exactly where your tooltip with the message appears in relation to the beacon for better visibility and design alignment.
• Action-Only Hotspots: Want a cleaner experience? You can now skip the message box entirely and trigger custom actions instead — like opening a Guide, launching a Survey, redirecting to a URL, or even running a custom JavaScript snippet.

These updates make Hotspots not just an onboarding tool, but a versatile in-app engagement element — perfect for driving user actions, creating dynamic flows, and delivering contextual help with precision.
