Getting help

If you’re stuck and can’t remember how to do something in Omni, ask the Omni Agent. Questions like “How do I do [thing]?” will prompt the agent to search the official Omni docs and provide you with an answer, all without leaving your Omni workflow. You can also directly tell the agent to search the docs when researching the answer to your question.
Working in an embedded context? If you have the Hide Omni watermark setting enabled to provide a fully white-labeled experience, the AI doc search feature will respect it. Omni doc links will not be returned in chat, even if explicitly requested.
