FooConvert lets you add triggers to any of the widgets you use, allowing you to display your popups, flyouts or bars when they will make the most impact. There are various triggers to choose from, which we cover below.
Open Triggers
On Page Load
Selecting this trigger will open your widget as soon as the page loads. It is a simple trigger and doesn’t require any further action to activate the widget.
On Anchor Click or Anchor Visible
These triggers will activate the widget either when a specific element is clicked or when it becomes visible. To use this trigger, you will need to add an anchor to your widget, in the field provided.
You will then need to add the same anchor to the element on your page with which you want to activate the trigger.
For example, if you have a CTA flyout and you want to open it when the user clicks a button, you could add ‘cta-flyout’ to the anchor field in the widget. Then go to the page where you want the flyout to appear, select or add the button, and in the Advanced field for the button block, add ‘cta-flyout’.
On Exit Intent
Using this option, you can trigger a widget when the mouse exits the top of the window, as would happen when the user intends to exit the page. This trigger includes an additional setting for the length of time (in seconds) the user should be on the page initially, before the trigger is activated. This is to prevent the widget from triggering if a user decides to leave the page immediately.
On Page Scroll
This trigger will activate the widget after a certain percentage of the page has been scrolled. For example, you can set it to 25% – this will then trigger the widget after the user has moved through a quarter of the page.
On Timer Elapsed
Similar to page scroll, this trigger activates after the user has been on the page for a set amount of time (in seconds).
Close Triggers
FooConvert includes 2 settings for close triggers (actions that will close a widget).
By default, each widget will come with a close button, so users can choose to remove it from the screen. However, you can override this by selecting the Hide close button. This will remove the close button for the widget. Should you decide to do this, it is advisable to provide some other way (especially for mobile users) to close the widget.
You can also opt to Close on anchor click. This works in the same way as the open trigger for an anchor click – you will need to add an anchor to both the field provided and the element that needs to be clicked.
