To automatically display a popup for visitors to sign up for your newsletter on page load in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a modal: Start by designing and creating a modal that will serve as your newsletter signup popup. You can use the Webflow Designer to design and style the modal according to your branding and preferences.

  2. Add an interaction: Once the modal is ready, you'll need to add an interaction to make it appear on page load. Select the element or button that will trigger the modal and go to the Interactions panel.

  3. Set the trigger: In the Interactions panel, choose the event that will trigger the modal. In this case, you'll want to select "Page Load" as the trigger for the modal to appear immediately when the page loads.

  4. Add an animation: After setting the trigger, you'll need to add an animation to make the modal appear smoothly. Choose the desired animation effect (e.g., fade in, slide in) and customize the duration and ease settings.

  5. Show the modal: Finally, select the modal element within the interaction and set the initial state to "Hidden." Then, in the animation, change the element's display property to "Block" or "Flex" to show the modal when the interaction is triggered.

  6. Customize the form: Inside the modal, you'll need to add your newsletter signup form. Use the Webflow Form element to create a form with the necessary fields for collecting subscriber information. Customize the form's design to match your branding.

  7. Connect the form: To connect the form with your newsletter service provider, select the Form element and go to the Form Settings panel. Connect it with your preferred service (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit) by adding your provider's API key or other required settings.

  8. Style the modal and form: Design the modal and form to match the overall look and feel of your website. Customize the colors, typography, and layout to create a seamless experience for visitors.

  9. Test and optimize: Before publishing your site, make sure to test the popup on different devices and browsers to ensure it appears correctly for all visitors. Additionally, consider optimizing the popup's timing, placement, and messaging to maximize conversions and minimize disruption to the user experience.

By following these steps, you'll be able to automatically display a popup for visitors to sign up for your newsletter on page load in Webflow. Remember to focus on creating an enticing and user-friendly experience to encourage newsletter signups.
