Last updated on 16 Apr, 2026

As you most likely know, the Exit Intent, also referred to as Pop Up, is a vital part of your Convious platform. It is one of the main Engage Tools available to help you win back customers and increase your conversions. This component literally pops up when it tracks a user who is about to leave your site and uses a catchy Call-to-actions coupled with an attractive offer to re-direct them straight to the Checkout. 

To make sure your engage tools are always in perfect shape for your visitors - you can set up multiple engage tools for different audiences and devices.  
 

How to navigate on your engage tools page

1. Navigate to the main menu on the left-hand side of your screen and click Engage Tools within the Engage section.

Now, you will see all your previously setup engage tools separated by tabs.

To view your setup Pop ups, choose the Pop Up tab.

In each overview, you can:

  • Unpublish or publish an Engage tool version

  • Edit its information: Name and device - but you cannot change its type.

  • Studio: edit its text, style, triggering or settings

  • Delete a version

    via the Actions option on its right-hand side.  

 

2. Per engage tool, you can filter your previously set up versions by date range, status or device type.


2 a) If you want to filter them by date range, you have to choose to Define by date range.

Then you can choose either a custom date range within the calendar or select a pre-defined range.

b) If you want to filter by Status, select Status at the filter menu on the left and select one more status' you want to view.

Pop up style

Now it is time to decide the look and feel of your Pop up.

Just with your other engagement tools, it is in your interest that they, on the one hand, blend in with your website's design, but at the same time, and this is very important: that they stand out

This way, you make sure to grab your website visitors' attention more easily, and they are more likely to go back and buy.


1. First, you will decide on and configure some general features:

Image
  • Upload your Logo

  • Decide on the Corners you would like to use: Square or Rounded

  • Font-Family

  • Header Color

  • Overlay Color

To set color, you can either enter a HEX code, RGB codes or use the cursor to find the color of your choice.

Again, all changes will immediately be visible in your Studio so you can see what it will look like and make great decisions. 

2. Choose a Title Text size and Color.

3. Do the same for your Paragraph: choose Text size and Color.

4. Next, you will need to choose the Background color of the Icon shown within your Pup Up. 

We provide you with a pre-set bundle of a Ticket icon, but you can upload different icons if you want to customize your Trigger Button even further. To do so, you can either browse through your computer files or drag and drop your image. 

You might want to use the same icon you use on your Trigger Button to awake an immediate association. 


5. Following, you will need to set up your Call-to-Action's design - the Main button
You need to define Size, Background color, and Text color

6. Just as with your paragraph and title, you need to define your Dismiss text's Text size and Color.

7. Lastly, you can choose to give your user an additional option to dismiss your Pop Up by clicking on the x icon. Here, you need to decide on the Icon size and Color.

8. Hit Next and you are done with styling your Pop Up.

Pop up text

The first step within the Studio will be setting the language settings, defining text, and linking the Exit Intent to the Checkout.

1. Decide on the languages you will set up for your Exit Intent. 

NOTE: Set up all languages that you offer your Checkout is to guarantee a smooth user experience. 

2. Once you have chosen your Language, for example, English and German, you need to decide your default language. This is supposed to be your website's and Checkout's main language. 

3. Now it is time for an engaging Title, Paragraph, and CTA (Button).

When you enter your text, you will immediately be able to see how it will appear within the Pop Up.

4. Then you need to make sure your Pop Up, or Exit Intent  is linked to your Checkout by clicking on the toggle Link to Checkout.


If you use the Pop Up for different purposes, for example, to drive traffic to an announcement, which we do not advise you to do, you can also link it to an alternative URL that will function as the destination page your users will be sent to after clicking the button.

5. Next, you need to decide whether or not you want to give your website visitors the viewer of your Pop Up the option to dismiss it.

We strongly advise you to add this option as customers do not like to feel trapped or forced towards a sale and might end up closing your website entirely. If they dismiss the Pop Up and do not guide toward the Checkout again, they are at least still on your website and might get back to it later. 

PRO TIP: Use a dismiss text that highlights what they miss out on if not purchasing tickets right now. This can be a special offer or the experience itself!  

6. Create translations for the additional languages you chose before by going through the same workflow per language.

7. Hit Next to move on to the next step!

Pop up settings

In this section, you will be able to set further visibility rules that define the timing.


First, you need to decide on Display rules followed by Frequency limits.

1. Within Display, you need to decide if you want your Pop Up to show:

Image
  • After time spent here you can specify the number of seconds until your Pup Up is shown.

  • On specific URL this lets you add certain URLs you want this Pop up to be triggered on.

  • Upon Page Load

  • Upon the moment, your website visitor tries to exit your site. 

  • The moment your visitor reaches 50% completion of scrolling through your page. 

  • Once your website visitors scrolls up your page - requiring them to scroll down first. 

2. You need to define what the minimum stay, or timespan your visitor should have spent on your page before they get exposed to your Pop Up. Here, you can freely choose an amount of seconds you find appropriate. 

NOTE: Always consider that there might be loading delays due to weak network connections or browser difficulties. So, don't make this timespan too long, because then they might exit before it appears!

3. Set up Silence after purchase: In case the user has purchased, how many days do you want to wait until you show them the Pop-Up again in case they return to your site?

4. Choose when to Silence after click: If the user has clicked, how long do you want to wait until you show them the Pop-Up again?

5. Consider Silence after close: If the user has closed the Pop-up, how long do you want to wait until you show them the Pop-Up again?

6. Enable outside click: If you enable it, the user will be able to close the Pop-up just by clicking outside of it. 

7. Decide on the Frequency limits: How many times per day, a visitor will get the Pop-up. You can choose between unlimited or a specific number of times. 

 

Pop up targeting

The third step is setting the targeting rules to define which pages your Exit Intent will be shown on once the customer aims to exit your page.

1Display on will be pre-set to All Devices as you have chosen to design the Default Version. 

2. Secondly, you have the chance to hide your Exit Intent on certain pages in case you would like to do so. If you expand the section with a click, you can choose between URLs that contain ..., URLs that do not contain ..., and REGEX.

If you choose URLs that contain, you can add any phrase included in a page URL that on which you do not want the Trigger Button to be shown.


If you want, for example, to hide it from your Impressum, you add /impressum to the field and click Add to save. Then the Trigger Button will not be shown on any URL that contains /impressum.

The same works on the contrary if you choose URLS that do not contain.

REGEX is short for regular expression, and can be defined as 'a string of text that allows you to create patterns that help match, locate, and manage text.' This is, in most cases, only relevant for developers. We recommend using the simple rules: URLs that contain or URLs that do not contain to make it easy. 

Generally, we recommend to not hide your Exit Intent or any of your engagement tools from your pages.
