Scheduling & Triggers

FloatMessage gives you fine-grained control over when a message appears, how it enters the viewport, and where it is positioned on the page.

Schedule Checking

All schedule checks run against the visitor's local time, not the server's. This means a message scheduled for 9 AM–5 PM will appear during business hours in every time zone.

Date Range

Set a start date and/or end date to limit when the message is active. Both dates are inclusive. Leave either field empty for an open-ended range.

Days of Week

Select specific days of the week the message should appear. For example, enable only Monday through Friday for a business-hours campaign.

Time Range

Define a start time and end time in 24-hour format. Overnight ranges are supported — for example, setting 22:00–06:00 will show the message from 10 PM to 6 AM the next morning.

URL Targeting

Restrict a message to specific pages on your site. Add one or more URL patterns — the message will only appear if the current page matches at least one pattern. Leave empty to show on all pages.

Exact URL — https://example.com/pricing
Wildcard — Use * to match any characters, e.g., https://example.com/blog/*
Path only — /pricing matches the pathname on any domain

Example: Add https://example.com/checkout/* to show a promo message only on checkout pages.

Trigger Types

The trigger determines what event causes the message to appear after it passes all schedule and dismiss checks.

Trigger	Value	Behavior
`IMMEDIATE`	—	Message appears as soon as the page loads
`DELAY`	milliseconds	Message appears after the specified delay (e.g., 3000 = 3 seconds)
`SCROLL`	percentage	Message appears when the visitor scrolls past the given percentage of the page (e.g., 50 = halfway)
`EXIT_INTENT`	—	Message appears when the visitor's cursor moves toward the browser's close/back area (desktop only)

Positioning

Choose where the message appears on the visitor's screen. All positions use position: fixed so the message stays visible while scrolling.

Position	CSS Details
`bottom-right`	`bottom: 20px; right: 20px`
`bottom-left`	`bottom: 20px; left: 20px`
`top-right`	`top: 20px; right: 20px`
`top-left`	`top: 20px; left: 20px`
`center`	`top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%)`
`top-center`	`top: 0; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); width: 100%`
`bottom-center`	`bottom: 0; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); width: 100%`

Click Tracking

Every CTA button click inside a FloatMessage is automatically tracked. When a visitor clicks a button, the embed script sends a tracking event to the FloatMessage API before navigating to the target URL. You can view click counts and click-through rates in the dashboard analytics.
