🧭 Adding and Customizing a Pop-Up (Modal)

Pop-ups (also called modals) are flexible content overlays that can be used to highlight promotions, share messages, or drive engagement on any page of your site.

You can trigger pop-ups:

  • On page load
  • Once per user
  • Via button click

They can display images, text, headings, or any other content block.

      • Set Action Type to Content
      • Set Modal ID to a unique value (e.g., button click)
  2. Match the Modal ID
    • In the Modal Settings, find the Modal ID field
    • Paste the exact same ID used in the button (e.g., button click)
    • This connects the button to the modal for activation

πŸ“ Tip: Copy and paste the ID to ensure it matches exactly.
