Selecting Pages

Once a domain name has been configured, you can specify the pages where the popup or embed will be displayed. You can choose to display on every page, or only a subset of pages.

It's recommended to use 'Include pages' which allows you to specify individual pages to show the popup without making additional updates to your website.

  1. Select 'Include pages'
  2. Click the '+ Add pages button'
  3. Add the name of your page.

Note: You may also use wildcards in the form '/mypage*' which would match '/mypage' '/mypage2', etc.
