The first option in the Popup Settings menu is the popup position. This determines where the popup will appear on the screen once it is triggered.

When you click on the brush icon, a new window will open up with all of the design options available to you.

In this design options window, you will have the ability to choose where your image should be displayed. This can be helpful if you want your image to be centered, aligned to the left or right, or even displayed as a full-width image.

Additionally, you can also change the background color of your image. This can be useful if you want your image to stand out or blend in with the rest of your website's design. You can also change the overlay background color, which is the color that appears behind your pop-up window.

Lastly, you have the option to change the color of the close button for your image. This is the button that users can click on to exit out of the pop-up window. You can choose a color that matches your website's design or stands out for easy visibility.

If you have a form on your popup to collect lead information, there are a few ways you can use this information to your advantage.

Tags are a great way to organize your leads and segment them based on their interests or actions. By adding tags to leads who submit their information on your popup form, you can easily identify and target them in the future.

You can create tags and assign them to leads based on specific actions, such as submitting a form on your popup.

Once you have set up your tags, Maindesk will capture the tag information and add it to the lead's profile when they submit the form. This way, you can easily identify and target these leads in your marketing efforts.

In addition to adding tags, you can also add leads directly to an email marketing list when they submit their information on your popup form. This allows you to start nurturing these leads and guiding them through your sales funnel.

Choose which email list you want to add your leads to. This will ensure that anyone who submits their information on your popup form will automatically be added to your email list, making it easier for you to communicate with them in the future.

Finally, you can take your lead collection efforts to the next level by setting up an automation sequence for those who submit their information on your popup form. This allows you to send a series of targeted emails to these leads, guiding them through your sales funnel and ultimately converting them into customers.

Maindesk allow you to create a series of emails and set triggers for when they should be sent. For example, you can set up an email to be sent immediately after a lead submits their information, followed by a series of follow-up emails over the next few days or weeks.
