Define Target Segment - Who

Campaigns can be set up as follows:

  • Single action: User does an action on one of your web pages.
  • Page visit: User visits one of your specific webpage URLs.
  • Page referral: User visits your website via any specific referral URL.
  • Page count: Number of your web pages a user has visited so far in their session.

Deliver Action Based Web Exit Intent Notifications

You can trigger a web exit intent popup based on an action. For example, a web exit intent popup with an irresistible discount voucher can be shown to a set of customers who have just viewed a specific product page. This will help in incentivizing an existing customer. Moreover, such exit intent popups make notifications more contextual and result in increased conversion.

Deliver Messages based on Past Behavior (PBS)

You can also target users basis their past behavior. For example, you can show a web exit intent popup to customers who had recently added products to the cart but didn't complete the purchase.

Filter by User Properties

Using the With user properties filter in the Who section, you can segment your campaign to only reach users who meet specific criteria.

For example, you can send a web exit Intent popup to customers from Mumbai who have added items to the cart but didn't complete the transaction in the past 10 days.

Web Exit Intent Pop-up Message Types

You can create the following types of messages for your web exit intent pop-ups:

  • Single Message
  • AB Test
  • Split Delivery
  • By User Property

Single Message

In this campaign, a standard message is sent to all users who qualify as your target audience. This message type is best for broadcast messages and for applications that do not vary campaign communication based on differences between properties such as language, geography, or any other user properties.

A/B Testing

A/B testing helps you understand what type of message copy works best in the pop-up to get clicks from users.
You can test up to three pop-up message variants on a test group. The variant that gets the most clicks is declared the winning variant and is automatically sent to the rest of your target audience.

2306

A/B Test Variant Distribution

When you create multiple variants for a campaign, you can also auto-copy what is already present in a current variant.

Split Delivery

With split delivery, you can decide what percentage of your audience receives each pop-up variant for the duration of the campaign. You can test up to three message variants.

Split Delivery Variant Distribution

By User Property

If you would like to send different message variants to your target audience based on the user properties they possess, this campaign type is your best bet. A good example would be when you want to send a localized update to people based on their preferred language.

Similar to creating A/B test variants, click + Variant to add multiple variants based on a user property value. You can send up to 50 message variants to different users based on a user property. In the example below, we have used the Language user property so users with different language preferences will receive corresponding copies of the campaign in their preferred language (English, Hindi, etc.)

Define the Message Content

After you select a particular message type, you need to choose a template. CleverTap supports two types of templates for web exit intent pop-up creation:

  • Interstitial - It's a center-aligned pop-up mainly used for driving better engagements. The image below represents the editor for a sample Interstitial template.

Interstitial Message

For web exit intent pop-ups, you can specify a button with text. Upon a web pop-up click, you can either do nothing, open a link, or invoke a JavaScript function.

  • Custom HTML - Here the marketers have a choice to customize their exit intent pop-up's appearance for the Interstitial template. One simply needs to insert the custom HTML scripts for the respective template layout in the HTML editor.

🚧

Manually Configured Click Tracking?

If you are already raising the Notification Clicked event manually in your template, then ensure to disable the Enable click tracking for Custom HTML checkbox to avoid overcounting.

To track the campaign stats such as the number of total clicks and CTRs, marketers need to ensure that they check mark the Enable click tracking for Custom HTML checkbox.

Define the Campaign Schedule

Each web exit intent campaign needs to be scheduled to run actively for a specific timeline. To define the schedule for your popup campaign, you need to specify the Start date and time and End date and time. You can also define a delay (by seconds, minutes, hours, or days) once a user qualifies for the target segment. Once you define the schedule and click on Done, the campaign will be triggered and terminated as per the defined timings.

Assigning Priorities for Web Exit Intent Campaigns

After publishing the campaign, marketers can assign the priorities to specific campaigns to avoid random delivery of popups. This means, If multiple web popups are scheduled to go live for the same web page at the same time, the priority order defines the order in which the popups are to be shown.

To assign the priority:

  1. Navigate to the Campaigns dashboard and select the specific campaign from the campaign list.
  2. Click the Web priority marker icon below each campaign to open the priority list.
