How to Set the Perfect Time for Pop-up Overlays

Control when your website's pop-up overlays appear to enhance the user experience. By setting the exact timing, you can ensure your message reaches visitors at the right moment.

Use Case: Imagine you run an e-commerce website. You want to capture your visitors' attention with a special discount offer, but you don't want to annoy them as soon as they arrive. You can use this feature to make the offer appear after they've had a chance to explore your site.

By setting the exact second when your overlay should show up, you can:

• Reduce Bounce Rates: Prevent visitors from immediately leaving your site.
• Enhance Engagement: Allow visitors to explore your content before showing an overlay.

To Set the Exact Second for Your Overlay to Show Up

Step 1: Accessing Campaign Settings

• Log in to your Picreel dashboard and click the ‘Campaigns’ tab on the side panel. Navigate to the campaign and click "Settings." 
• Select the campaign for which you want to set up overlays and click "Settings."

Step 2: Set Overlay Timing

• On the campaign settings page, find and click on 'WHEN OVERLAY APPEARS' to open a dropdown menu.
• Inside the dropdown, click on 'Trigger Options.'
• Scroll down to 'After X second(s).'
• Set the status as 'Active.'
• Enter the desired number of seconds when you want the overlay to appear.

Step 3: Click 'Save' to confirm your timing preferences.
