Below you can find all settings that are configurable when you choose the "on Exit" Trigger.
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger Point | on Click | Fires when the visitor clicks on specified element |
| Trigger Element | .myElement | Specify the ID or the Class of the element(s) that should fire this trigger. You can specify multiple elements separated by comma. Example 1: .item-100, .item-101 Example 2: #logo Keep in mind that query selectors must always begin with an underscore (_), a hyphen (-), or a letter(a–z), followed by any number of hyphens, underscores, letters, or numbers |
| Prevent Default Action | Enabled | If enabled, stops the default action of the element from occuring. For example: Prevents a link from following the URL. |
| Delay | 0 | Delay trigger in miliseconds. Leave 0 for immediate execution or enter 2000 for 2 seconds delay. If the trigger point is set to onElementHover then this value is used to delay or prevent the accidental firing of the box and attempts to determine the user's intent. It is recommended to use at least 30 ms. |
