Select pop-up types
SendPulse offers a variety of pop-up types, including pinned blocks, modal windows, and full-screen messages. Choose the one that fits your business goals and customize it in the builder.
To change the pop-up type, go to the Style tab in the pop-up builder. You can select the following pop-up types based on your widget's appearance:
| Pop-up type | Description | Style settings |
| Floating | A floating window placed on the left or right of the browser window when a user scrolls the page. Users do not need to close it to interact with your site content. | You can customize these elements in the Style tab. |
| Modal window | A block located in the center of the page. All the other site page content is darkened and not clickable. Users need to close the modal window to interact with your site page content. | |
| Overlay | A block that covers the entire site page. Users need to close the pop-up window to interact with your site page content. | |
| Horizontal | A horizontal window that can be placed at the top or bottom of the page. Users do not need to close it to interact with your site page content. | |
| Video | A window that plays YouTube videos. | You can customize these elements in the Elements tab. |
| Launcher | A small static icon pinned to the selected corner of the page. When users click it, a certain action is triggered (opening another pop-up or opening a link). | |
| Messaging app widget | A small static icon, such as a social media logo or custom image, pinned to the selected corner of the page. When clicked, it starts a chat with your selected chatbot or opens your linked social media page. |
