With our robust set of display rules, you can create highly-targeted lightboxes. Here’s a list of our advanced targeting conditions and what each rule does.
Display
Display Until
The lightbox will display until the event you set occurs. After the event occurs, this lightbox will no longer be displayed. For example, you can set a lightbox to never show again after it has been closed or after your visitor fills out the form.
Example: Use this rule for mailing list opt-ins, a free download, or requesting an appointment. Consider combining this rule with a “current page” rule if you want to limit the number of times the visitor sees the lightbox each session.
Display If Date
This lightbox will display during the date(s) you set. This is great for promotions or sales that start or end on a specific date. (See “How to Display a Lightbox Based on the Date.“)
Frequency
Max Displays Per Visitor
Display a lightbox a set number of times per visitor. If you set the max display to 1, the lightbox will only display once per visitor regardless of how many pages they view or how frequently they return. If they view it today, they will not see it ever again.
Example: This rule is great for showing one-time messages, such as a welcome message, new product launches, or press announcements.
Max Displays Per Session
Display a lightbox a set number of times per browsing session. If you set it to 1, visitors will see the lightbox once each time they come to your site. If they view it today, they will see it again if they come back to your website tomorrow. A visitor session expires after 60 minutes of inactivity.
Example: This rule is great for time-sensitive messages like current promotions, alerts, or things repeat visitors may do (like call or request an appointment).
Max Displays Per Pageview
Display a lightbox a specific number of times per pageview. If this rule is set to 2, your lightbox will be displayed once, then once more if they view that page again. This means your visitor will see the lightbox twice.
Example: This rule is great for displaying a specific FAQ or a “contact us for more info” during specific steps in your website funnel where people may get stuck.
History
Pageviews
Display a lightbox after the visitor has viewed a certain amount of pages. For example, display an offer to a visitor after they have viewed 4 pages on your site.
Past Visits
Display a lightbox based on the number of visits they have had in the past. If this is set to Greater than 1, then only repeat visitors will see your lightbox. Use this rule to show a special offer to repeat visitors to a particular product page in order to encourage them to make a purchase.
Days Since Last View
Set the lightbox to display based on when the user last visited your site. If you set this rule to Greater Than 5, the lightbox will show up again after 5 days. Use this rule to target infrequent visitors.
Date of First Visit
Display a lightbox based on when users first visited your website. This allows you to target visitors who visited your website during a holiday special or the last time you hosted a webinar.

Show a lightbox based on how the visitor came to your site. Use this rule to show a special message to visitors who come to your site from a certain channel.
Example: Use this rule to show a special message or offer to users who visit via AdWords. AdWords traffic can be costly, so offer an irresistible deal to make the click worthwhile. Organic traffic might just need a nudge.
Search Engine
Show the lightbox based on the search engine your visitors come to your site from.
Example: Treat visitors coming from Google differently than visitors coming from Bing. If you notice in your analytics that you get more leads from one search engine, you can use this rule to show offers to those visitors.
URL
Current Page URL
Display lightboxes to users who visit a specific page or a page with a URL containing specific terms. For example, if you set a ‘Current Page URL CONTAINS awesome-product’ rule, then all pages with ‘awesome-product’ in the URL will show your lightbox.
Referring Website URL
Show a lightbox based on the full or partial referring URL that brings visitors to your site. You may show a targeted lightbox to traffic from Yelp or Facebook.
Example: Use this rule to show a special offer to visitors from your best referrer. For example if the referring website is www.facebook.com you can show a “Facebook fans get 10% off” promotion.
Landing Page URL
The landing page URL rule shows the lightbox to visitors based on the landing page they hit when first entering your site.
Example: If a page on your site gets a lot of traffic from a particular source (an ad or specific referrer), you can combine this rule with the referring website URL rule to show special offers to these visitors.
Pages Navigated URLs
Show the lightbox based on whether the visitor has navigated to a specific URL. For example, if you create a does NOT Contain “Thank-You.php” rule, you won’t show your lightbox to anyone who has gone to your Thank You page. This is a good way to block existing customers from seeing certain promotions.
With this condition, You can target/anti-target boxes for customers who saw a page in their previous session on your website. i.e. If a customer visited your website during a sale and you want to display a popup for those specific customers who saw a specific page during the sale period, you can set up this condition and it will ensure the box is displayed for those specific customers only.
Example: Show a special promotion to users who have viewed a specific product page during their browsing session.
Current URL Protocol
The current page URL Protocol is typically either http: or https: (make sure to include the colon), Use this rule to limit the lightbox for specific protocols

The current page URL Host is only the domain portion of the current URL. For example, if the current URL was https://www.mysite.com/awesome-product, then the URL Host would be: www.mysite.com
Current URL Path
The current page URL Path is the ending part of the domain after the 3rd backslash. For example, if the current URL was https://www.mysite.com/awesome-product/sku8732984?qs=abcxyz, then the URL Path would be: /awesome-product/sku8732984

The current page URL Query String is the part of the URL that comes after the ? character. use this condition to test boxes using DIGIOH_TEST_BOXID.

UTM Campaign Source
The UTM campaign source rule shows the lightbox to visitors who come to your site from a specific source.

UTM Campaign Term
The UTM campaign term rule shows the lightbox to visitors coming to your site by way of a URL containing a specific UTM term tag.
Example: This rule makes it easy to show a special offer to visitors who come via specific keywords.

This shows the subscriber your new product right away, allowing them to purchase it immediately without having to search for it on your site.
Time
Total Seconds on Page
Show a lightbox to a visitor based on the amount of time they have spent on the current page. This is one of our most popular rules.
Example: Show a promotion to someone after they have had adequate time to read the content on the page. This rule is great for getting qualified buyers only!

Scroll Percent
The scroll % rule shows the lightbox based on how far down the page the visitor has scrolled.
Example: Show a special offer to your visitors once they have scrolled halfway down the page. This works well for blog posts. When visitors approach the bottom of your page, show another post to read, or capture their email with a “Free eBook”.
Scroll Pixels
Shows the lightbox based on how far down the page the visitor has scrolled (measured in pixels).
Example: Show the lightbox once the visitor has viewed a specific part of your page. This is great for promoting offers based on what visitors are currently reading.
Click jQuery
The click jQuery selector rule shows the lightbox when a click event takes place. Set it to show when a link or button is clicked. Paste a Custom CSS path on your website, and the Digioh JavaScript will detect when it is clicked and show a lightbox. This is awesome for video lightboxes.
Example: When someone clicks a link or a button, show a lightbox instead of directing them to a new page. This eliminates load time and keeps people on your website. This works great for YouTube videos. If you have a promotional video, visitors can watch the video in the lightbox (while on your website), and you can show a form underneath it to capture their information.
Hover jQuery
Shows the lightbox when your visitor hovers over an element on your site. This is great for tool tips!
Example: Show a special message or FAQ to your visitors when they hover over a specific part of your page. This is awesome for footer links; if someone hovers over a blog post link, you can show a snippet of that post.
Exit-Intent
The exit-intent rule shows the lightbox to visitors before they leave your site based on their mouse movement. This is great for reducing your bounce rate and bringing people back on to your website with a limited-time coupon code. View our guidelines on building the perfect exit-intent lightbox here.
Example: Show a special promotion to keep the user engaged when they start to leave. This is great for the end of your funnel. If they leave this page, you can show one last offer or message, like “Wait! The items in your cart are limited in quantity; check out now.”

Browser Type
Display a lightbox to visitors using a specific browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, etc).
Example: If your site is intended to be viewed in a particular browser, display a lightbox to visitors using other browsers so they know which browser your site functions best under.
