The Scrolling to Element Trigger displays a popup when a visitor scrolls to a specific section of your webpage. Instead of appearing instantly or after a delay, this trigger is tied to scroll behavior, making it an excellent way to deliver targeted messages right when users are most engaged with certain content.
For example, you might show a popup when visitors reach the pricing table, the end of a blog post, or a call-to-action section. See Scrolling to Element Demo.
Why Use This Trigger #
This trigger is especially powerful because it activates based on user intent. If someone scrolls down your page, it usually means they’re interested in the content. By showing a popup at the right moment, you can capture that attention and guide them toward the next step (e.g. subscribing, purchasing, or signing up).
It’s less intrusive than automatic triggers and feels natural because it only appears when the user is already engaged.

Best Practices #
- Pick meaningful trigger points – use sections where users are most likely to act, such as after reading a blog or viewing product pricing.
- Use concise CTAs – since users are already engaged, a simple CTA like “Subscribe Now” or “Get 10% Off” works best.
- Avoid overwhelming users – don’t add too many scroll-triggered popups on the same page.
- Test across devices – scrolling behavior may differ on mobile versus desktop, so always check responsiveness.
