To actually get the optin to display on your site, navigate to the “Display Rules” panel, go to the “Quick Setup” section, and check “Activate 0ptin”.

If you want the optin to be displayed everywhere (all pages) of your site, also check “Globally load optin” otherwise use the page level targeting to target a specific section of your site to display the optin campaign.

 

 

Use the “Display Rules” panel to configure how the popup will appear such as:

  • Page-level targeting allows you to control the pages, posts, categories and custom post types where the optin form will be included or excluded for display.

Finally, go to the “Integration” panel, select your email service provider and the email list all captured leads/conversions will be saved to. You could decide to use “MailOptin Leads” for the lead storage and be done and over with.
