What’s in This Guide #

In this introduction to the Exit Intent extension, we’ll cover 2 main points.

1. Example use cases for exit intent popups.
2. Steps to create and test a basic exit intent popup.

In the tutorial section, you’ll create an exit intent popup that:

• Pops up when Popup Maker detects your cursor leaving the browser window (Mouse Leave) or when you switch to another app (Lost Browser Focus).
• Sets a cookie when you close the popup so it doesn’t display for you again for 1 month (default duration).

Example Exit Intent Use Cases #

Popup Maker’s Exit Intent extension is excellent for the following use cases:

• Showing abandoned cart popups.
• Nudging visitors with a signup form to opt into your email list for updates and deals.
• Offer a departing visitor an incentive or call to action (e.g., free download, free webinar, discount).
