Activate Your Popup

Activating the current quiz

If this is your first time activating a popup for a quiz, turn the switch ON by clicking on the switch. Once you see the switch turned green and ON, your quiz will begin to be promoted with a popup on your website.

Switching which quiz is being promoted

If you are already promoting a different quiz in a popup on your website, you will see this warning when you try to activated the current quiz:

You have two options in this scenario: (1) Switch the quiz being promoted to the current quiz you are viewing or (2) Turn off the popup for all quizzes which will stop the popup from being shown on your website at all.

To switch the quiz being promoted to the current quiz, just simply turn the switch ON  by clicking on the switch. Once you see the switch turned green and ON, your new quiz will begin to be promoted with a popup on your website.

Customizing Popup Settings

Selecting which pages the popup shows on:

Interact supports various rules to decide what webpages to show or not show your Popup. These settings are located under the Edit Popup Visibility section.

Step 1: Check the checkbox labelled Show popup only when visitor is on certain pages to enable this setting.

Step 2: Your first step will be used to determine if ALL of the rules must be true in order for the popup to be shown to a visitor or if only ONE of the rules must be true for the visitor to see the popup. This depends on what webpages your want your visitors to see your popup. Under Show to visitors Select either who match all these rules OR who match any of these rules.

Step 3: You now have the ability to add specific URL paths from your website to create rules about which visitors see your popup. Each rule is structured in the following way:

Show when the URL path [exactly matches/does not exactly match/contains/does not contain] YOUR_URL_PATH

For example, if you only wanted visitors to see your popup when they are on the your store homepage with the URL: https://example.com/my-store, you would create a rule that says:

Show when the URL path [exactly matches] /my-store

Another example, if you only wanted visitors to see your popup when they are on ANY page of your online blog, including the URLs: https://example.com/blog and https://example.com/blog/post-title and https://example.com/blog/category/marketing, you would create a rule that says:

Show when the URL path [contains] /blog

Step 4: You can add as many rules as you need by clicking Add a Condition. You will then repeat Step 3 to add additional rules.

Troubleshooting Your Popup

Once you have installed the script on your website and activated your quiz as described above you will be able to see your new popup on your site.

If you do not see your popup showing up on your site, you will want to make sure that you have installed the code properly on your website. It can be helpful to have your developer check to ensure it is installed correctly. You will also want to be sure that the activation switch is turned ON for the quiz you want to promote.

Another common pitfall is that the rules created for Popup visibility have the wrong URL paths or the rules are contradicting each other. In this case you will want to very carefully review the rules you created to make sure that it is setup to allow your Popup to be visible on the proper pages.
