In this tutorial, we will explain and show you how to use the conditions, triggers and advanced rules settings of popups. Learn how to empower your popups to target any use case, improve user experience and generate more sales and conversions.
hi-oh zip from Elemento here today will
focus on the conditions triggers and
advanced rules of the new pop up feature
added to elemental 2.4 we will go over
all the settings that help fine-tune the
combinations of user actions that will
display a pop up to match specific use
cases so now let’s hit publish to open
the conditions triggers and advanced
rules menu let’s start off with the
conditions we set the conditions that
determine where the pop-up is used
throughout the site by pressing the
include button we can decide to include
or exclude parts of the website as you
can see there are three areas entire
site archives and singular for example
if you choose an entire site it will
display the pop-up everywhere across the
site you can get very detailed as well
for example by selecting specific post
categories or authors the cool thing is
that we can add multiple conditions as
well just click Add condition to set
them go ahead explore the options and
set your own conditions to match your
specific use case now that we have
defined where the pop-up is showed
throughout the site let’s move on to the
triggers which are the user actions that
make your pop-up appear click Next and
you can also hit the save and close
button at any time during the process if
you need to work on something else and
come back to it later we can set the
pop-up to show on page load where we can
set it to show within a certain amount
of time the page is loaded leaving this
empty for example but switch to yes
we’ll make the pop-up show directly on
page load the time is defined in seconds
which you can set over here on scroll
allows us to set it to show when a user
Scrolls a certain percentage of the page
the scrolling Direction is set to down
by default because this is the users
natural behavior here you set the
percentage within allowing you to set
the pop-up to show after a user has seen
a certain amount of the page selecting
app doesn’t give you the option to set a
number because the user has been exposed
to this part of the page already on
scroll to elements we can set it to show
when a user reaches a specific element
on the page this is done by typing these
selectors ID or clause over here unclick
gives us the option to set the pop-up to
show after users click the mouse a
certain amount of times
after an activity allows us to set it to
show after a certain amount of time your
visitor has been inactive the idle time
this can come in handy when your user
has lost attention and you want to
gently get it back and you can also set
the pop-up to show when a user intends
to exit the page with our on page exit
intent option basically the pop-up will
be triggered the moment your users mouse
starts moving towards the outside of the
page indicating an intent to leave it
now we can fine-tune terms for when the
popups appear even more in order to set
them click next here in the Advanced
rules section we can set very specific
requirements that have to be met for the
pop-up to appear we can set the pop-up
to show under the following terms after
X amount of pageviews let’s say you want
the pop-up to appear after your visitor
has viewed three pages you can go ahead
and set the amount over here same goes
for after X amount sessions just enter
the amount over here and the pop-up will
appear after let’s say three website
visits show up to X amount of times
limits the amount of times the pop-up
appears when visitors arrive from
specific URLs we can set the pop-up to
show or hide the URL is entered here
rejects is for advanced users and allows
you to combine several rules that need
to be met for the pop-up to either show
or not you can enter the rejects here
show the pop-up when visitors arrived
from external links meaning anywhere
outside your website internal links
anywhere inside your site’s domain or
from search engines such as Google or
Bing we can decide not to show the
pop-up for logged in users possibly for
membership sites and finally we can also
decide whether or not to show it on
desktop tablet on mobile
now let’s go ahead and hit save and
close if you want to change any of the
settings you’ve just setup just go ahead
and click the save options arrow over
here as you can see it gives us the
possibility to directly enter the
conditions triggers and advanced rules
menu well that’s it as you can see using
conditions triggers and advanced
settings combinations empowers you to
create targeted pop-ups for any use case
while at the same time improving user
experience and generating more sales and
conversions a real power tool don’t
