How to add pop-up forms in Mindbox

You can add a pop-up form using the UI.

Go to CampaignsCampaign manager and select a relevant campaign or create a new one for your pop-ups:

00_popup

Click AddPop-up:

01_popup

You need a full integration to be able to work with data from carts or pages visited. To do this, simply follow these guidelines: https://

Choose a template

Choose the template that works best for the purpose of your pop-up:

  • Generate leads;
  • Increase conversion & average order value;
  • Notify visitors;
  • Conduct a survey;
  • Custom templates.

02_popup

A marketer can customize a pop-up form template (text, position, or size) in Mindbox. See more on this below.

You can find more details on the mechanics and their settings in relevant guidelines.

General settings

Go to General settings to select:

  • Endpoint;
  • Days of the week when to show the pop-up form;
  • Pop-up frequency;
  • Priority level of this form over others.

Here is an example of settings. This pop-up will be displayed each day of the week, but only once during a single user session on a website. This is also a high-priority pop-up form.

Display conditions

Select when you’d like to display the pop-up form:

  • when a customer intends to exit a web page;
  • when a customer spent a certain time period on the web page;
  • when a customer has visited a certain amount of pages;
  • when a customer has committed a triggered action on the website.

Here are settings of a pop up that will be displayed to a customer when 2 web pages have been visited all-time total.

04_popup

The web page views and website visits are counted from the moment the pop-up script is set up on the website. So if you set up the script a day ago, views will be counted starting from that day.

Targeting

Filter the target audience of your pop-up and set the applicable conditions. You can set up a customer segment in Mindbox in advance and decide whether the pop-up form will be displayed to these customers.

Here’s a sample filter for customers who have at least one purchase. You can set up any other customer segment according to your needs. For more info, please refer to this article.
