After X Seconds Trigger
If you don't want to bombard your visitors with popups the second they visit your webpage, the "After X Seconds" trigger is here to save you. (Though it is entirely up to you.)
You can always use Popupsmart’s ready-to-convert popup templates that come with precise targeting features offering solutions to different business needs; still, you have the freedom to create campaigns with unique segmentation abilities.
So let’s see how to set up After X Seconds Trigger easily:
1. On the popup builder screen, navigate to the “Segment” section and click “Edit Segment.” (If it’s a new campaign, click the two circular arrows to choose a predefined segment or create one from scratch in “My Segment.”)

2. Click "Add user behavior targeting" under "User Behaviour."

4. Set the timing (as seconds) as you like. This value determines how many seconds the popup will be triggered. We recommend 5-10 seconds.

5. You can continue with the “Publish” step under “Segment” to see a summary of your popup campaign segmentation and publish it.

So, congrats, your campaign is set to trigger after X seconds!
🔔 Important: Optionally, for more precise targeting, make sure your popup triggers don’t conflict with each other.
For example, if you set your exit-intent trigger to work independently from any other targeting, your popup will appear on exit-intent without waiting After X Seconds.
