Triggers can be used to greatly increase the effectiveness of your pop-up and fly-in opt-ins.

Triggers Control How And Where Pop-Ups & Fly-Ins Appear

Triggers give you control over how your pop-ups and fly-ins are displayed.

Namely, they control when the Bloom opt-ins are triggered based on various user interactions. These triggers can be used by themselves or in combination with other triggers to yield different results.

These triggers can thus be tailored to your specific content or your specific social sharing goals. Certain triggers are more general and heavy-handed, while others are more subtle and target a specific subset of users. Be sure to watch the video for a detailed explanation of how these triggers can be used.

Trigger Settings

Trigger After Time Delay

If Automatic PopUps are enabled, this setting will appear, allowing you to specify your social pop-up's timed delay (in seconds).

Trigger After Inactivity

This will cause the pop-up to appear once the user has been inactive for a certain period of time. If the user has left their computer or left the tab after reading your post, try reminding them to subscribe when they get back!

Trigger at the Bottom of the Post

Just as a reader reaches the end of your page or post content, it is a perfect time to offer them a way to subscribe to your content. Enabling this pop-up trigger will auto-detect the end of your content and do just that.

Trigger After Commenting

This is a great way to target your most engaged visitors. When enabled, your visitor will be greeted with a pop-up or fly-in after posting a comment on your website.

Trigger After Scrolling

This will trigger the pop-up after the visitor has scrolled a certain percentage down the page. Depending on the size of your page and the content within it, you can have the pop-up trigger at specific points within the reading. Depending on the situation, having the pop-up or fly-in opt-in trigger at certain percentages may be much more effective than a timing delay.

Trigger After Purchasing

This is another great way to target your most engaged visitors. When this is enabled, your customers will be asked to subscribe to your website after they have successfully purchased a product using WooCommerce.

Trigger On Click

This can trigger the opt-in on a user interaction, for example, when the user clicks a button or an image.

When Trigger on Click is enabled, you will have to specify the element's CSS Selector that on click will trigger the appearance of the fly-in or pop-up optin.

Note: No matter how many triggers you have selected above, Bloom will only use whichever trigger occurs first so that your users are able to handle pop-ups if you have multiple triggers enabled.
