Switching the campaign on makes it live for your visitors. OptiMonk runs a quick check first and tells you if something would stop the popup from showing.

What to do

  • On the campaign page click the switch in the header. If the check finds a problem, such as a missing trigger or a button that does not record a conversion, it tells you exactly what to fix.
  • Watch the bar above the campaign page. A red alert means the campaign is blocked (usually the code is not installed yet); an amber one means it is running but something needs attention. No bar means all is well.
  • To see the live popup yourself without showing it to visitors, add a Current page / URL rule that includes only pages where the URL contains optimonk=true, then open https://your-domain.com/?optimonk=true. Everything is real here: triggers, targeting, frequency and integrations. Remove the rule when you are done.

Done when: the campaign status reads Active, there is no red alert on the campaign page, and the popup appeared for you on your own site.
