## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if my exit intent popup isn't appearing?**
A: If your exit intent popup isn't showing, ensure that there are no popup trigger elements on the page. Set the Type to Hidden in the Popup Load Settings tab. This prevents conflicts that could stop the popup from displaying correctly. Additionally, verify that you have activated the Popup Builder block from Nexter Blocks, as it's essential for creating the popup.

**Q: What are the best practices for designing an exit intent popup?**
A: When designing an exit intent popup, keep it simple and focused on a single message or offer. Use clear, compelling language and a strong call-to-action. Additionally, consider the timing of the popup; it should appear just as the user is about to leave. This approach maximizes the chances of capturing their attention and encouraging them to stay.

**Q: Does the Nexter Blocks Popup Builder support animations for popups?**
A: The page does not specify whether the Nexter Blocks Popup Builder includes animation features for popups. However, it's common for popup builders to offer some level of animation to enhance user engagement. For detailed features, check the complete feature overview documentation of the Nexter Blocks Popup Builder.

**Q: What happens if I forget to turn on the exit intent toggle?**
