How to Trigger Chat Only After a Visitor Scrolls 50%

Not every visitor is ready to chat the moment they land on your website. In fact, showing a chat widget too early often leads to lower engagement and higher bounce rates.

A smarter approach is to trigger chat only when the visitor has scrolled 50% of the page—a signal that they’re engaged, interested, and more likely to interact.

PushEngage’s chat widget makes this incredibly easy.

This quick guide will walk you through why scroll-based triggers work and how to set them up in just a few clicks.

Why a 50% Scroll Trigger Works

A visitor who reaches 50% of a page has shown clear intent. They’ve invested time, absorbed your content, and signaled curiosity.

A 50% trigger helps you:

• Avoid interrupting readers too early
• Catch visitors when they’re fully warmed up
• Increase chat open rates
• Improve lead quality
• Reduce agent workload from low-intent chats

This is especially effective for:

• Long blog posts
• Product comparison pages
• Ultimate guides
• FAQ-sidor
• Tutorials

How PushEngage Handles Scroll-Based Chat Triggers

PushEngage includes built-in Behavior Rules for chat widgets. These rules determine when a chat widget appears based on visitor actions.

One of the most useful is: Show When Visitor Scrolls X%

This allows you to delay the widget until any scroll threshold you choose—50% being one of the best-performing settings for informational or content-heavy pages.

Denna flexibilitet är precis vad som möjliggör "sidtypsbaserad personalisering".

How to Trigger Your Chat Widget at 50% Scroll (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Create or Edit a Chat Widget

In your WordPress dashboard:

Go to PushEngage » Chat Widgets and click Create New Widget or Edit an existing one.

Set up your message, channels, and design as usual.

Step 2: Open the Behavior Tab

Inside the widget editor, go to Triggers. This controls when the widget appears.

From the trigger dropdown, choose Display after scroll %:

You’ll see a percentage input box appear. Set the scroll depth to 50%. This tells PushEngage to wait until a user has scrolled halfway down the page before displaying the chat widget.

Step 3: Save and Publish

Click Save Widget.

Then ensure the widget is enabled and targeted to the pages you want. Your chat widget will now trigger exactly at the 50% scroll point on every assigned page.

Pro Tip: Combine Scroll Trigger + Page Targeting

Scroll-based triggers become even more powerful when paired with targeting rules.

You can show the widget:

• Only on blog posts
• Only on WooCommerce product categories
• Only on long-form content
• Only for returning visitors
• Only on pricing pages

Just go to the Triggers tab and set page conditions.

Best Practices for 50% Scroll Chat Triggers

To get the best results:

1. Don’t combine 50% scroll with instant triggers

It defeats the purpose of intent-based engagement.

2. Keep the message helpful, not pushy

Exempel:

• “Need help understanding this page?”
• “Want personalized recommendations?”
• “Have a question? I’m here to help!”

3. Avoid using multiple scroll-triggered widgets at once

One widget per page keeps the experience clean.

4. Test on both mobile and desktop

Scroll depth can feel different across devices.
