An Exit Intent Popup appears just as a visitor is about to leave your site, grabbing their attention, giving you one last chance to grab their attention. When set up right, it can boost conversions and turn abandoning visitors into subscribers or even customers.

### How to Create an Exit Intent Popup

1. Go to [Opt-in Tools](https://app.recart.com/opt-in-tools) and click “**Create New**”

2. Select **Popup** as your type of opt-in tool type

3. Name your popup and choose your preferred settings.

4. On the General page under Settings, link your popup to an active welcome flow and set the trigger to “On user’s exit intent.”

**Choose your exit trigger:**

* Customer scrolls up fast
* Opens a new tab
* Cursor is leaving the viewport (desktop only)

**Set behavior if another minimized popup is visible**

* Open exit popup instead of the other popup’s minimized view
* Don’t open exit popup

**Note**: Only one full popup and one minimized button can appear at a time.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.recart.com/list-growth/opt-in-tools-exit-intent-popup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
