Popup Maker Forced Interaction

Description

The Forced Interaction addon blocks the closing of Popup Maker popups until the visitor interacts with any element of the modal, removing the X button, neutralizing the ESC key, and disabling clicks on the external overlay. Designed for those who use email capture popups, cookie notices, or critical announcements and need to ensure that the content is read or the form is completed before navigation continues on the site.

Main Features of Forced Interaction

• Close button blocking
  Hides or disables the modal’s X until the visitor performs the expected action.
• ESC key deactivation
  Prevents the keyboard shortcut from closing the popup prematurely.
• Overlay without exit click
  Cancels closure when clicking the dark area outside the popup box.
• Per-popup configuration
  Enables forced behavior only on chosen modals without affecting others.
• Compatible with Popup Maker triggers
  Works with exit intent, scroll, time, and click triggers already configured.

Benefits of Forced Interaction

• Higher opt-in conversions
  Increases signup rates by focusing the visitor on the desired action.
• Guaranteed attention to notices
  Legal messages and critical alerts stop being ignored in seconds.
• High-priority campaigns
  Flash sales and urgent announcements gain prominence without visual competition.
• Granular behavior control
  You choose which popups require interaction and which remain optional.

Who is Forced Interaction For?

• Those capturing emails for newsletters or lead magnets wanting to reduce popup abandonment.
• Those needing to display mandatory legal notices such as cookie consent, age verification, or terms of use.
• Those promoting limited-time offers and wanting the visitor to read the call before continuing browsing.

How to Download Forced Interaction

Forced Interaction is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate. With Popup Maker already active, forced interaction options will appear in the settings of each popup created in the dashboard.

Operators of lead generation campaigns, regulatory notices, or strategic announcements find this addon a direct boost to popup effectiveness. By removing all quick closing routes, the module extends the message exposure time and channels the visitor toward the defined goal, turning the modal into a real decision point within the navigation flow.
