A 3% opt-in rate isn’t a traffic problem.
It’s a timing problem.
PushEngage opt-in prompts fire when a visitor has shown intent: after 20 seconds on page, at 60% scroll, on a click, or at exit. A branded soft ask screens out the nos before the browser dialog ever appears, so a decline today is not a subscriber lost forever.

Why it works
No moment in the retention loop decides more than the ask.
Segments, automations, and attribution all run on the list the prompt builds. Capture more visitors, capture them better, and every downstream campaign gets larger without new ad spend.
Fire on intent, not on load
Time-on-page, scroll depth, element clicks, and exit intent decide when the ask appears. A visitor 60% through your page converts at a very different rate than one who landed two seconds ago.
Never burn the browser prompt
The soft ask absorbs the no. Visitors who decline it never see the native dialog, so the browser permission stays intact and Smart Opt-In Reminder can ask again on a later visit.
A different ask for every page
Targeted Opt-In Triggers show restock copy on product pages, topic copy on the blog, and order-update copy at checkout. A contextual ask outperforms one generic site-wide prompt on every page type.
How it works
From anonymous traffic to a list that compounds.
Segmented from the second they subscribe
The page a visitor subscribed on, the trigger that fired, and the segment that page belongs to are stored as subscriber attributes at opt-in time. Your cohorts build themselves from the moment of capture, not as a cleanup job later.
- Subscription page and trigger type captured automatically
- URL-pattern rules assign segments at opt-in
- Cohorts ready for campaigns on day one
Watch the list grow, then prove it paid
Subscriber growth, opt-in conversion metrics, and campaign revenue live in one dashboard. A two-point lift in opt-in rate compounds into a larger list every month, and goal tracking shows what that list earned.
- Subscriber growth and delivery metrics in one view
- Opt-in conversion metrics on Premium and above
- Revenue attribution through goal tracking
What’s included
Exactly what you’re buying, on one dashboard.
Opt-in prompts are the Capture stage of the same platform: the subscribers you capture here feed every segment, workflow, and channel you run on PushEngage.
Multi-step soft ask
A branded modal asks first, in your copy and with your logo. Only visitors who say yes meet the native browser dialog, which is why soft asks convert at two to four times the native rate.

Visitors who decline get asked again on a later visit, after a delay you set. Second-visit captures are pure list growth, and the feature ships on every plan, including Free.

Questions, answered.
Won’t a popup annoy visitors and hurt the brand?
The soft ask fires on intent signals you choose, in copy you write, with your logo. Slide-in and bottom-bar styles keep editorial pages uninterrupted, and a visitor who declines is never escalated to the browser dialog.
What’s wrong with just using the native browser prompt?
It converts at roughly 3 to 6% for most sites, and a visitor who clicks Block can never be asked again by the browser. The soft ask screens intent first and preserves that permission state for a future visit.
Which plans include which prompt features?
Single-step opt-in, Smart Opt-In Reminder, and Targeted Opt-In Triggers ship on every plan, including Free. Multi-step soft asks with time and scroll triggers start on Business. Exit-intent and click triggers plus advanced per-URL targeting arrive on Premium, and full SDK control with opt-in webhooks on Growth.
What happens when a visitor declines the soft ask?
Nothing is burned. The browser dialog never fires, so the visitor stays eligible, and Smart Opt-In Reminder re-surfaces a prompt on a later visit after the delay you configure.
Can developers control the opt-in flow?
Yes. The JavaScript SDK supports custom HTML modals, programmatic trigger conditions tied to your own events, opt-in event callbacks, and webhooks into your analytics pipeline on the Growth plan.
