Steps for this integration:

  1. Accessing your Showit Site

  2. Accessing your Quiz embed code

  3. Embed the quiz code to Showit site

Accessing your Showit Site

Step 1: Login to Showit site

  • Open the site you want to embed your quiz onto.

Step 2: Choose a design of your choice

  • Choose the design of the landing page. This is the page you will be embedding the quiz into.

Step 3: Click on the area of the page you want to embed the quiz.

  • Click on Advanced settings on the bottom right hand side to access additional options.

Step 4: Under Advanced settings, click on "Custom Head HTML"

  • This will open up a pop-up window where you can paste your HTML code.

Accessing your Quiz Embed Code

Step 1: Open your Interact dashboard and click “Share & Embed” on the quiz you want to add to the Showit landing page.

Step 2: Click on "Announcement bar" on the left sidebar

  • Click the “Javascript” tab

Step 3: Activate your Announcement bar

  • Toggle on the button for “Promote [Quiz Name] in the announcement bar.” You can have 1 quiz announcement bar running at a time.

Step 4: Customize your announcement bar with the desired options.

  • We recommend a "Timer Delay" of 5-10 seconds, meaning your web browser will see the announcement bar that many seconds after they get on your page.

  • We suggest a "Hiatus" of at least 10 days. This means once your browser sees the popup they won't see it again for that number of days when returning to your site.

Step 5: "Optional" You can create your own Announcement rules

  • These rules allow you to add the announcement to certain landing pages only

  • or to prevent them from popping up on certain landing pages.

  • This is not a required step, you can skip this step and move on to the next one if desired.

Step 6: Copy Announcement bar code

  • Once copied, head back over to the Showit site

Embed the quiz code to Showit site

Step 1: Paste the embed code into the Showit embed box

  • Once your code is inserted, be sure to Save.

Step 2: Click “Save.”

  • Preview your quiz on mobile and desktop to make sure everything functions as desired.
