How are Smart Popups different from regular popups?

Regular popups trigger based on time (5 seconds, 30 seconds) and show the same content to everyone. Smart Popups trigger based on intent signals and are personalized to visitor identity, company, and behavior.

Won't popups annoy visitors?

Generic popups annoy visitors because they're irrelevant and poorly timed. Smart Popups are triggered by buying signals and show relevant content — visitors engage because the offer makes sense for their situation.

Can I control how often visitors see popups?

Yes. You can set frequency caps (once per session, once per day, once ever), prevent multiple popups on the same visit, and exclude visitors who've already converted.

What offer types are supported?

Meeting booking (direct calendar), demo requests, content downloads, chat initiation, custom forms, and more. Any conversion action you want to drive.

How does A/B testing work?

Create multiple variants of an offer, split traffic between them, and Warmly tracks conversion rates for each. You can set it to automatically promote the winner or make manual decisions.

Does exit-intent actually work?

Exit-intent based on cursor movement alone isn't reliable. Smart Popups combines cursor tracking with behavior signals — if a highly engaged visitor is about to leave, that's different than a bounced visitor. Context matters.

Can I target specific accounts?

Yes. Create offers specifically for named accounts, account tiers, or any segment you define. Perfect for ABM where you want tailored offers for target accounts.

How do Smart Popups work on mobile?

Mobile doesn't have cursor-based exit intent, so Smart Popups uses scroll behavior, time engagement, and navigation patterns to detect intent on mobile. Offers are fully responsive.

Can I integrate popup submissions with my CRM?

Yes. Every popup submission syncs to your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) with full attribution — which offer, which page, visitor context. No manual data entry needed.

Smart Popups

Popups That Know When to Appear — and What to Offer

Traditional popups are annoying because they're dumb. Smart Popups are triggered by intent signals, personalized to who's visiting, and timed based on behavior. The right offer, to the right person, at the right moment.

Smart Popups is Warmly's intelligent popup system that triggers based on buyer intent signals rather than arbitrary timers. Unlike generic popups that show the same content to everyone after 5 seconds, Smart Popups knows who's visiting (person, company, deal stage) and waits for the right behavioral signal before surfacing a personalized offer. This makes popups feel helpful instead of annoying — and converts 4x better than traditional approaches.

Traditional Popups Hurt More Than They Help

You've seen them. You hate them

Pop after 5 seconds — before you've even read anything

Generic "Subscribe to our newsletter" — not relevant

Same offer to everyone — enterprise buyer gets the ebook

Can't be closed easily — user experience nightmare

No personalization — feels like spam

Pain Points:

Timer-based triggers

Popup fires before visitor shows any interest — immediate annoyance

One-size-fits-all offers

Enterprise buyer gets same ebook offer as student researcher

No visitor context

Can't personalize by company, role, or deal stage

Repetitive frequency

Same visitor sees same popup every single visit

No intent signals

Shows popup to bouncing visitors who will never convert

Poor measurement

Can't tie popup engagement to pipeline or revenue

The result? Visitors bounce faster. Brand perception suffers. Conversion stays flat.

Smart Popups are different because they know who's visiting and wait for the right moment.
