Popup Builder Inactivity Event

Description

The Inactivity Event add-on adds a trigger to Popup Builder that monitors visitor inactivity (no mouse movement, scrolling, or keyboard activity) and displays the popup when the defined period without interaction is reached. The component is designed for those who want to re-engage visitors who are about to leave the tab by displaying coupons, email capture forms, or relevant notices before the user switches context.

Key Features of Inactivity Event

• Inactivity trigger
  Displays the popup when the visitor remains idle for a configured period of time.
• Configurable wait time
  Allows you to define, for each popup, how many seconds without interaction must pass before it is triggered.
• Mouse, scroll, and keyboard detection
  Considers the absence of movement, scrolling, and typing to identify actual inactivity.
• Compatible with all popup types
  Works with the layouts and styles created in the Popup Builder dashboard without additional adjustments.
• Individual configuration for each popup
  Each popup can have its own inactivity period without affecting the others on the site.

Benefits of Inactivity Event

• Re-engagement at the right time
  Recaptures the distracted visitor’s attention before they switch tabs or leave the session.
• More conversion opportunities
  Increases the chances of collecting email addresses, offering coupons, or displaying a CTA during long sessions.
• Alternative to exit intent
  Works on mobile devices and in foreground tabs, scenarios where the mouse exit trigger fails.
• Fine-tuned timing
  The independent time setting for each popup adapts the approach to the type of content on each page.

Who Is Inactivity Event Recommended For?

• Those who publish blogs and long-form content portals, where readers often pause before finishing the page.
• Designed for those who sell through e-commerce and want to reactivate visitors who stopped browsing between products.
• Those who maintain capture landing pages and need a trigger that complements the exit popup.
• Those who offer online courses, member areas, or documentation and want to re-engage distracted students.

How to Download Inactivity Event

Inactivity Event is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it with Popup Builder already installed on the site. After activation, the inactivity trigger appears in the event options when editing each popup.

On sites with high session duration (blogs, extensive catalogs, and content platforms), a considerable portion of the audience stops interacting before converting. The inactivity trigger fills this gap by activating communication the moment the visitor becomes distracted, without depending on mouse movement toward the top of the window, an approach that fails on mobile devices and on constantly focused screens.
