Easy popup

Create a customizable Easy Popup and install it on your site to share announcements with your clients. Make sure to customize colors and images and add an engaging text to draw your visitors’ attention and effectively share important information.

Step 4. Once you’ve configured your new widget according to your preferences, go to the Install tab and follow our instructions to install it on your website. You can install it via code snippet or one of our plugins – select your preferred option and follow the steps defined in the app or email our instructions to your webmaster.

Note: Please make sure to copy the correct code snippet or API key,  and enable your popup widget in the app when installing it on your site. Also, if you are using multiple widgets on your site, make sure our popup notification does not overlap with one of them. You can easily change the widget’s position in your Easy popup > General tab. 

Here’s an example of what the popup can look like on your website:

What are my customization options?

Once you’ve successfully set up your new notification widget and installed it on your website, you can always modify it from your Paldesk dashboard. Here are some of the things you can modify:

Status: You can enable or disable the widget in order to display it or hide it from your site.

Visibility: Go to the Visibility tab and specify if your notification will be visible on all devices or pages on your website. 

Content: Change the title or text depending on your preferences or needs. To add emojis, select one from a list, copy and paste it into the text box.

Colors and images: Edit colors or images to reflect your brand.

Display time: You can decide if your notification will be displayed continuously or for a limited period of time.

Custom content: You also have the option to add custom HTML content to your notification.

Position: Decide if your notification will be displayed on the left or the right side of the screen.

Popup as a link: If enabled, this option allows you to add an external link to your popup. When users click on your notification, they will be redirected to the page you specified.
