Add a Flow to a page and Flow Activation settings

Learn about the settings in the Activation tab of the Flow Builder.

Set the page where a Flow will be shown (Activation Page)

To ensure that the Player is shown on a web page, you need to set the Activation Page.

  • Switch to the Activation tab in the Flow Builder.

  • Set the Page - Specify the exact URL of the page where the Flow will appear on your website e.g. /about.html relative to the Activation URL for your Workspace

Showing a Flow on several URLs at once

We are trialling a new feature which allows a page to match only the first part of the URL entered and therefore appear on multiple pages. All performance metrics are combined and count as one entry against that Flow. To request access, please contact our support team.

To show a Flow on several pages at once:

  1. Switch to the Activation tab in the Flow Builder.

  2. Configure the following:

    • Page: Specify the URL of the root page where the Flow will appear on your website e.g., /about/ (relative to the Activation URL for your Workspace)
  3. Toggle on the "The show the Flow on all pages where the URL starts with this" switch
  4. This would match and show on all sub-pages e.g. /about/, /about/company

Important things to note about matching Flow URL using this feature:

  • All performance metrics are combined into a single Flow report (in the example, against /about/). You are not able to filter or differentiate between the indiviudal pages. 

  • If you enable this on your homepage (i.e. /), it will load on every page across your website
  • We do not warn if your Flow clashes with other Flows assigned to specific pages when using this feature
  • We do not support wildcard or regex page matching. This URL matching feature is designed for simple situations where the URL contains extra information you want to ignore. It is however possible to disable the player by writing some custom code using our Player API. 
  • We ignore anchors (#my-element) and query parameter strings (?query=true) and do not match based on these URL elements

Activation Settings for Overlay Players

Setting when the Eye-catcher appears (the Activation Point)

Choose when an Overlay Flow Eye-catcher shows for a visitor:

  • Immediately on page load
  • After the visitor has started scrolling
  • After 3 second delay on page load
  • After 5 second delay on page load

You can also disable the eye-catcher entirely, which is useful if you wish to launch the Overlay Player with a click, from a button, link or other page element.

Activation Settings for Inline Players

Setting the Target Element

This is the identifier for the empty space on a page where an Inline Player will appear.

For information on selecting or creating an appropriate Target Element on the webpage for the Inline Player, see our guidance on adding the Inline Player to a page. 

Setting the Video Fit

Choose how you wish the videos in your Flow to appear within the Inline Player.

  • Optimized is best for videos focused on a single person, talking to camera. The video fills out the Player and may crop.

  • Reveal is best for videos containing more than one subject, or where the content is wide. The whole video will be visible in the frame, with no cropping.
