Show a Popup on Entering a Funnel or Website in GoHighLevel

When you move workflows from tools like ClickUp into your CRM, you often need precise control over how and when popups appear. This guide explains exactly how to show a popup as soon as a visitor lands on your funnel or website in GoHighLevel, covering the options available in the builder settings.

Understanding Popups in GoHighLevel

In GoHighLevel, a popup is usually attached to a form or survey element. Instead of redirecting users to a separate page, you can display that form or survey in a modal window when a specific condition is met, such as entering a funnel step or clicking a button.

This behavior is managed directly on the page that contains the popup element. You control it from the popup settings panel inside the funnel or website editor.

Accessing the Funnel or Website Editor in GoHighLevel

To start, you must open the funnel or website where you want the popup to appear.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Navigate to Sites in the left-hand menu.

  3. Select either Funnels or Websites, depending on where your popup is built.

  4. Click the specific funnel or website.

  5. Choose the funnel step or page where the popup should be shown.

  6. Click Edit to open the GoHighLevel page builder.

Opening Popup Settings in GoHighLevel

Once inside the builder, you will configure how the popup behaves.

  1. Look for the Popup option in the top bar or the left-hand panel (depending on your current GoHighLevel layout).

  2. Click Popup to open the popup configuration area.

  3. Ensure that the popup element (often a form or survey) is already created and assigned to this page or step.

If the popup is not yet created, add a form or survey to the popup area before configuring when it will appear.

How to Show the Popup on Page Load in GoHighLevel

The main goal is to display the popup automatically as soon as a visitor enters the funnel step or website page. You will do this by changing the popup trigger settings.

Step-by-Step: Enable Popup on Enter in GoHighLevel

  1. Within the builder, make sure the correct page or step is selected.

  2. Click the Popup settings tab.

  3. Locate the Trigger or Open Popup option.

  4. From the available trigger types, choose the option that corresponds to On Page Load or On Page Enter (wording may vary slightly but it will clearly refer to entering the page).

  5. If a delay setting is available, specify the delay in seconds:

    • Set to 0 seconds if you want the popup to show immediately.

    • Use a small delay (for example, 3–5 seconds) if you want visitors to see some content before the popup appears.

  6. Confirm that the correct popup (form or survey) is selected as the one that will be displayed.

  7. Click Save inside the builder.

Previewing the Popup Behavior in GoHighLevel

Before publishing, you should test how the popup behaves on the live page.

  1. In the builder, click Preview.

  2. Wait for the page to load fully.

  3. Confirm that the popup appears according to your trigger setup:

    • Immediately on enter, or

    • After the delay you specified.

  4. If it does not appear, return to the popup settings in GoHighLevel and verify that:

    • The popup is enabled.

    • The trigger is set to page load or page enter.

    • No conflicting conditions prevent it from opening.

Alternative Popup Trigger Options in GoHighLevel

Sometimes you may not want the popup to show instantly when the user enters the page. GoHighLevel supports other trigger styles you can combine with the default behavior.

Common Trigger Types in GoHighLevel

  • On Button Click: The popup opens only when the user clicks a specific button or element.

  • On Exit Intent: The popup appears when the user moves the cursor toward closing the tab or navigating away (availability depends on current platform features).

  • On Scroll: The popup opens after the user scrolls to a percentage of the page.

To switch between these behaviors, return to the same popup settings area in the funnel or website editor and adjust the trigger choice. You can experiment to find the best conversion rate for your audience.

Best Practices for Funnel Popups in GoHighLevel

To keep your popups effective and user-friendly, consider these tips.

Design and Content Tips

  • Use a clear headline that explains the value of the offer.

  • Keep form fields minimal to reduce friction.

  • Add a strong call to action (CTA) button.

  • Ensure the popup is mobile-friendly inside the GoHighLevel builder preview.

User Experience Considerations

  • Avoid showing the same popup too frequently, especially to returning visitors.

  • Consider adding a small delay before showing the popup so users can see the page content first.

  • Always provide an obvious close button to prevent frustration.

Saving and Publishing Your GoHighLevel Funnel or Website

After finalizing your popup configuration, you need to ensure your changes go live.

  1. In the funnel or website editor, click Save.

  2. Exit the builder.

  3. If required, click Save or Update at the funnel or site level.

  4. Open the live URL of the funnel step or website page in a new browser window or an incognito session.

  5. Verify that the popup shows correctly when entering the page.
