  • Move to the Styles step in your popup builder.
  • Click to add a Bar for desktop, and a Tab for mobile.
  • Edit the colors and text as needed.

Enable your Flow

Once your new contact signs up, you’ll want to enable a Welcome Flow in the next step, so that you can greet them and deliver your incentive. We also recommend enabling an Abandoned Cart Flow in case your new subscriber leaves items in their shopping cart without completing an order. Once you’ve done this, click Activate to launch your Welcome Popup and Flow. enable flows
