Flows: Popup

With the Popups module, you can design Popups and forms for your website from scratch, and easily collect information from your website's visitors.


Navigation page

Popups can be found under the Activities menu.

In the navigation page you can see all the existing Popup Groups and Popups.

Use search to find a specific popup, or click + New group to create a new popup group.

What is a popup group?

Popup groups act as containers for different popups that will be displayed on the same website.

A single popup group will have the same installed script for your website. 

It will also determine the rules for when and where on your website each popup will be displayed.

Click a popup group to expand the list of all popups within that group. Here you can view how many times the popup has been viewed, as well as created and updated dates, and see several options for working with popups and groups.
