Set Up the CTA Popup Action in AEvent

If you are using Zoom or GoToWebinar

  • Navigate to your AEvent timeline and click on "Create Action."

  • For "When," set the pitch time to your desired timing (in this example, we're setting it 30 minutes after the event has started)

  • For "Who," select "Registrants" as the target audience

  • For "What," choose "Live Event Automations" from the drop-down.

  • Select "CTA Popup" from the drop-down options.

  • Once CTA Popup is selected, the "Hide Popup" section will become available for editing.

  • Set the timing to when you want the CTA Popup to be hidden (in this example, we set it to two minutes after it showed up or 32 minutes into the event).

  • You may also opt to Disable this option (when disabled, your CTA Popup will be visible all throughout the webinar).

  • Enter your desired "Headline" (in this example, we're putting in "Your Path to Financial Freedom").

  • Select your Product / Image Boxshot / Logo from the drop-down.

  • Enter your desired "Subheadline" (e.g., Free yourself from Financial Constraints).
