Dialog Auto Trigger

Voxel's Dialog (VX) widget only opens when its button is clicked. This function turns it into a full popup system: open it automatically on page load, exit intent, scroll depth, or inactivity — with frequency capping, audience targeting, and advanced display rules that rival Elementor Pro's popups.

Overview

Enabling this function adds two new sections to the Dialog (VX) widget in Elementor:

• Auto Trigger (VT) — when the dialog opens and who sees it
• Auto Trigger — Advanced Rules (VT) — additional display conditions

Triggers never fire inside the Elementor editor, and everything is evaluated in the visitor's browser, so it works correctly on cached pages.

Key Features

• Four triggers: page load (with delay), exit intent, scroll depth, inactivity
• Each trigger fires independently — exit intent still works after a page-load show was closed
• Frequency capping: every page load, once per session, or once every X days
• Audience: everyone, logged-in, or logged-out — plus user roles and Voxel membership plans
• Advanced rules: page views, sessions, max shows, referrer URL, traffic source, device, browser, and scheduling
• Option to hide the dialog's trigger button entirely

Setup Instructions

1. Edit your page with Elementor and select the Dialog (VX) widget
2. Open Auto Trigger (VT) and switch on Enable auto trigger
3. Pick one or more Triggers and configure their settings
4. Set Show frequency and Show to (audience)
5. Optionally enable Hide trigger button if the dialog should only open automatically
6. Save

Triggers

Trigger	Fires when	Setting
On page load	N seconds after the page loads	Delay (seconds)
Exit intent	The cursor leaves the viewport toward the top (desktop)	—
Scroll depth	The visitor scrolls past X% of the page	Percentage
Inactivity	No mouse/keyboard/touch activity for N seconds	Seconds

Multiple triggers can be combined — each fires independently, at most once per page view.

Frequency & Audience

Setting	Options
Show frequency	Every page load · Once per session · Once every X days
Show to	Everyone · Logged-in users only · Logged-out visitors only
Limit to roles	(Logged-in only) Show only to selected WordPress roles
Limit to membership plans	(Logged-in only) Show only to members on selected Voxel plans

Membership targeting makes upgrade prompts trivial: show a "Go Premium" dialog only to members on the free plan.

Advanced Rules

All rules are optional; every enabled rule must pass before any trigger arms:

Rule	Description
Show after X page views	Wait until the visitor's Nth page view
Show after X sessions	Wait until their Nth visit
Show up to X times	Lifetime cap per visitor
When arriving from specific URL	Match the referrer against URL patterns (* wildcards), show or hide
Show when arriving from	Traffic source: search engines, external links, internal links, direct
Show on devices	Desktop, tablet, mobile
Show on browsers	Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera
Schedule date and time	Only between a start and end date/time (site timezone)

Troubleshooting

The dialog doesn't auto-open

• Triggers don't fire in the Elementor editor — test on the live page
• Check frequency: "once per session/days" may have already shown it. Clear the vtDialogAt:* keys in DevTools → Application → Local Storage, or test in a private window
• Check audience and advanced rules — all enabled rules must pass

It opens on every visit

• Set Show frequency to once per session or once every X days

Exit intent doesn't fire on mobile

• Exit intent is cursor-based and desktop-only by nature — combine it with another trigger for mobile
