Appearance
Add a lightbox or popup embed
Use Lightbox or Popup embed when a form should open over the host page. These options need extra restraint because automatic overlays can interrupt visitors.
Steps
- Open Publish > Embed and choose Lightbox or Popup embed.
- Select Show Code.
- Set the optional button text. Leaving it blank hides the trigger, so do this only for an intentional automatic-open experience.
- Set colors, width, height, and visual style. For a popup embed, select its screen position.
- Leave automatic open settings off by default: interval timeout, page-load auto-open, and exit-intent open.
- If an automatic trigger is required, enable only one, use a reasonable delay, and test it against accessibility, consent, and site UX requirements.
- Copy the code to an approved staging page and test open, close, focus/keyboard behaviour, mobile layout, and form completion.
Expected result
The overlay is intentional, easy to close, responsive, and does not prevent a visitor from using the underlying page or completing the form.
