# How to open a popup on Exit Intent?

| **Before starting the setup of the opening events for your popup, it is assumed that you have already [embedded the popup](https://help.popupmaker.com/en/article/how-to-add-a-popup-to-your-custom-website-arp8an/) into your website, or [attached via the plugin](https://help.popupmaker.com/en/category/plugins-and-extensions-1s4euao/) you are using connected to Popup Maker service.**

In the **Events** section of the Popup Maker editor (the left side of the page) you are able to select the events on which your popup will open on your site.

# Exit-intent 

Check the box and the sub-options of the Exit intent will open up. Select the mode for your Exit intent popup:

**Soft mode** - If this mode is selected, the popup will appear when a user tries to leave the site by navigating the mouse away from the website.

**Aggressive1** - If this mode is selected, an alert box will be shown to the user when he/she closes the tab, reloads the page or redirects to other page.

**Aggressive2** - If this mode is selected, the user will see an alert box + the popup, when he/she closes the tab, reloads the page or redirects to other page.

**Aggressive3** -  If this mode is selected, a popup will appear, without an alert message, when he/she clicks on the back button.

**Full** - This will enable both, the Aggressive 2 and Soft modes, so the popup will appear in any attempt of leaving or reloading the site.

| Please, note, that a kind of interaction with the website (clicking, scrolling etc.) is required for the Aggressive modes to function properly.

**Mobile Exit Intent** - Show popup on exit intent on mobile devices (more details here: [Boost More Sales with Mobile Exit Intent popup](https://popupmaker.com/blog/boost-more-sales-with-mobile-exit-intent-popup/) )

**Delay** - Specify the seconds for opening delay. After the user stays on your page for the specified seconds, the popup will appear if they try to leave the page.
