Is there a solution in Webflow that allows for the creation of an overlay window that pops up on any page the user enters and only appears once per session?
Yes, there is a solution in Webflow that allows for the creation of an overlay window that pops up on any page the user enters and only appears once per session. Here's how you can do it:
Create a new modal element: Go to the Webflow Designer and add a new modal element to your page. You can find it in the Add panel on the left side of the Designer.
Style the modal: Customize the appearance of the modal to match your design preferences. You can change the background color, text content, and add any other elements you want to include in the overlay window.
Set up the close button: Add a close button inside the modal so that users can dismiss the overlay if they choose to. You can use a regular button or an icon, and apply an interaction to hide the modal when the button is clicked.
Configure triggers: To make the modal appear only once per session, you need to set up appropriate triggers. Select the modal element in the Designer and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction that triggers when the page finishes loading.
Create a cookie: In the interaction settings, add a new action to set a cookie when the interaction is triggered. Give the cookie a unique name, such as "sessionOverlay", and set it to expire at the end of the session.
Conditionally show the modal: Now, you need to create another interaction to show the modal conditionally. Add a new interaction that triggers when the page finishes loading, and set it up to only run if the cookie you created in the previous step doesn't exist.
Test and publish: Preview your website or publish it to see the overlay window in action. The modal should only appear once per session, and the cookie will ensure it doesn't appear again until the user starts a new session.
By following these steps, you can easily create an overlay window that pops up on any page the user enters in Webflow and only appears once per session.
