Flodesk popup forms help you capture your visitors’ email addresses so you can grow your list and stay connected with your audience.

Popups appear on top of your website content and are designed to grab attention at the right moment—making them one of the most effective ways to turn visitors into subscribers.

This guide walks you through creating your popup form in Flodesk and adding it to your Showit website so it displays for your visitors.

  • Access to your Showit website editor

You’ll need to copy the Flodesk popup header code and paste it into your Showit page settings.

  1. Log in to your Flodesk account.

  2. Go to Forms.
