Verify Dashboard & Domain

Confirm that your ConvertBox is on the correct website dashboard. Each domain/website has its independent dashboard, so check if your ConvertBox is placed on the dashboard corresponding to the domain where you want it to appear.

Check Location Rules

Review your location rules on the “Display” tab in the editor. Verify that the rules for specific pages are correct and that any excluded rules are not hindering the display of your ConvertBox.

Frequency Rules

Pop-ups can be frustrating for users if they show up every time the user comes to your website. That’s why there’s an option to set the frequency of appearance for your ConvertBox. Inspect the “Frequency” rules in the editor. If you have set limitations on views per day/session or have suppression rules, ensure they are not affecting your ability to view the ConvertBox during testing.

Check The Embed Area

For embedded ConvertBoxes, ensure you have selected the correct embed area in the “Display” tab. Without a selected embed area, the ConvertBox will not show.

Countdown Timer

If using a countdown timer, check if it has expired.

For a fixed date countdown timer, ensure the set date hasn’t expired; once the deadline passes, the ConvertBox won’t display for visitors.

For an evergreen countdown timer, confirm it’s configured to stop showing the ConvertBox upon expiration. If the timer was triggered during your previous view and has now expired, the ConvertBox won’t reappear for you.

Visitor Targeting Rules

Inspect the “Targeting” tab for specific visitor targeting rules. If rules are preventing you from meeting conditions, your ConvertBox may not display. Follow the simple steps in our exclusive guide to set visitor targeting rules in ConvertBox.

Form or Button Settings

For ConvertBoxes with form or button elements, check if the option “Stop showing this ConvertBox to the visitor” is selected. If so, the ConvertBox may not appear after submission.

Why ConvertBox Shows Errors?

Understanding why ConvertBoxes may show errors is crucial. Common issues include incorrect installation, misconfigured settings, or expired timers.

If you’ve completed the checklist and done thorough troubleshooting of the ConvertBox but is still not working, don’t panic. Contact their support team by submitting a ticket with your ConvertBox’s name and the page URL where it should appear. They will investigate and assist you promptly.
