The auto-open widget, when enabled for a specific post, causes the widget to automatically open and display that post to users as soon as they access your site or app. This means users don’t need to click or interact with anything to see the latest update; it appears immediately in the notification center or changelog feed.
Benefits
Immediate Visibility: When enabled, the widget automatically opens for users as soon as they access your site or app, ensuring that your latest update or announcement is instantly seen without requiring users to click or search for new information.
Increased Engagement: By proactively displaying your changelog post, you significantly boost the likelihood that users will read and interact with your updates, which can lead to higher feature adoption and better user awareness of changes.
No Manual Action Needed: Users don’t have to take any action to discover new posts; the content is presented front and center, reducing friction and the chance that important updates go unnoticed.
