A Floating Bar is a type of web content that appears at the top or bottom of your page, spanning the entire width. Additionally, this bar remains fixed while users navigate the page.
In this article, you will learn how to create a Floating Bar and insert it into your website with Connectif.
STEP 1: Creating the Floating Bar web content
1. Go to your Connectif Store.
2. Go to "Content > Web content" and click Create new content.
3. Select the Floating Bar content type and assign it a name.
4. In the General tab, adjust the background color and select the position of the floating bar (top or bottom of the page).
5. In the Components tab, add and edit the components you want. For example, add a Text component to add a message to your Floating Bar.
6. (Optional). Add a link to the text by clicking the Insert link button. You can also add other elements, such as variables, if desired.
7. Adjust the text design options such as color, typography, margins, etc.
8. Click Save to save the changes to the Floating Bar design.
STEP 2: Creating the workflow to display the Floating Bar
9. Go to the Workflows section and click Create new workflow.
10. Select Create blank workflow.
11. Edit the "Start" node to trigger for your entire contact list, both existing and new, as shown in the image.
12. Add a trigger node "On page visit" and edit it to choose on which pages the Floating Bar will appear.
13. Add an action node "Send web content" and select your Floating Bar. Click Next .
14. Configure when the web content will be shown to the contact visiting your page. For example, "After a few seconds", to display it 5 seconds after a contact arrives on your site. Click Next .
15. Keep the default node limitation active so that the Floating Bar is shown only once per contact, as shown in the image.
16. Click Apply to save the node settings.
17. Save your workflow and activate it to determine when it should start and, optionally, when you want it to stop, so the Floating Bar will no longer be displayed.
