- ImprovedImprovement of extension’s update logic
What it does
Visitors often stop interacting with a page. They switch tabs, get distracted or simply stop scrolling while they decide what to do next. A popup that fires on page load or on exit can miss that moment. This extension gives Popup Builder a trigger built around idle time, so your message appears once a visitor has gone quiet for the period you choose.
Setup happens inside Popup Builder, since this is an add-on for that plugin. You build your popup as usual, pick the inactivity event and enter the number of seconds of idle time before it should show. From there it runs on its own. It fits sites that use popups for newsletter signups, special offers or product prompts and want a gentler way to reach people who have paused.
Best for
- Sites already using Popup Builder for their popups
- Online stores promoting offers to idle shoppers
- Blogs and publishers growing a newsletter list
Features
Adds a new event to Popup Builder that opens a popup when a visitor stops interacting with the page for a set period.
You define the exact number of seconds of idle time before the popup appears, so you can match the delay to how people use your pages.
Once the timer is set, the popup shows on its own to visitors who have paused, with no manual action needed on your side.
Any popup you build in Popup Builder can use the inactivity event, whether it holds an offer, a message or a signup form.
It plugs into the Popup Builder plugin, so you configure and manage the inactivity trigger in the same place as your other popup settings.
Use idle-time popups to remind distracted visitors about a newsletter, a product or a special offer before they leave.
