How to Build an Exit-Intent Pop-Up in Sparkforge Funnels and Websites

Exit-intent pop-ups fire the moment a visitor's cursor moves toward the browser bar, giving you one last chance to capture the lead. Sparkforge bakes this directly into the funnel and website builder, so you don't need a third-party tool.

What an exit-intent pop-up does

It tracks cursor position. When the cursor breaks toward the top of the screen (toward the close button or address bar), the pop-up appears. Use it to surface a discount, a newsletter sign-up, or any last-chance offer before the visitor leaves.

Step 1: Create the form

Pop-ups need something to collect. Build the form first under Sites > Forms, set your fields (name, email, phone), and save it.

Step 2: Build the pop-up on a page

1. Go to Sites > Funnels or Sites > Websites and open the page where the pop-up should appear.
2. Click Edit to open the builder.
3. In the top nav of the builder, click Pop-up Settings.
4. Click Add Row, then Add Element, and drop in a Form element.
5. Use the form picker to select the form you built in Step 1.
6. Style the row, column, and form to match your brand.

Step 3: Set the trigger to Exit

1. Click the Pop Up Settings gear icon at the top of the pop-up.
2. In the sidebar, scroll to Show Pop-up On.
3. Choose Exit. None disables the pop-up; Delay turns it into a timed pop-up instead.

Step 4: Test it

1. Save and publish the page.
2. Open the live page in a desktop browser.
3. Move your cursor up toward the close button.
4. Confirm the pop-up appears, then tweak styling as needed.

Desktop only

Exit-intent uses cursor tracking, so it does not fire on mobile. Touchscreens have no cursor to track. For mobile engagement, use a delayed pop-up or scroll-based trigger instead.
