• Scroll percentage: the form will display when visitors scroll down through a selected portion of your page

  

• Timing: the form will display after a specified amount of time

  

• A link is clicked: The pop-up will display when a button is clicked

You can also choose whether your form will be displayed on the bottom-left or bottom-right side of your page and on which devices to display your form. The last setting lets you choose how often your visitors should see the slide-in form. If you'd like the form to be displayed anytime someone visits your page, set it as "once every 0 days".
