On Exit-Intent: Configuring an Experience for User Exiting the Webpage

Modified on Thu, 12 Sep at 12:35 PM

Use the On Exit-Intent Experience to capture the lead information when users are walking away from lead-nurturing web pages with forms. This Experience is usually set up on the bottom of the funnel pages such as demo requests, contact us pages, sales, and free-trial pages. Also, you can create the On Exit-Intent Experience on web pages that do not have forms, such as campaign and vertical industry pages.

The On Exit-Intent Experience is triggered when the mouse is 3-5 pixels away from the top of the page on the browser.

As a best practice, you may want to deploy the On Exit-Intent Experience only for users visiting your web pages using desktop computers or laptops.

To create an On Exit-Intent Experience:

From the Left Nav Menu, click Experiences.
On the Experiences page, click Create an Experience.
In the New Experience pop-up window, enter the Name and Description (optional).
Under the Folder field, click on Choose to select a folder.
Click Save. You are redirected to the Settings tab.
On the Settings tab, fill in the various parameters of the Experience.
The Name & Description section opens with the Experience name and description filled with the details you entered earlier. You can edit the name and description.
