Configuration

Quick start checklist

• Install & activate Renotify (WP Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload).
• Go to Renotify → Settings → General and enable required modules
  (Notifications, Popups, Hello Bars, Social Proof).

• Add IP Info Token (if using geolocation): Renotify → Settings → General →
  IP Info Token → Paste token → Test Token.
• Create one test campaign, Preview, then Publish after testing on desktop & mobile.
• If campaigns don’t appear: confirm Published, clear caches, verify visibility rules.

Notification Settings

• Location: Renotify → Settings → Notification Settings

Steps

• Go to Renotify → Settings → Notification Settings.
• Toggle Enable Notification (master on/off).
• Choose whether to Show Notification Title.
• Use Shortcode
  1

  Notifications

  You have no notifications

  to insert a notification manually into a page/post.
  Example: paste the shortcode into a product page to show a static notification.
• Manage templates: Import Template (.zip containing .json) or Export Selected Templates for backup/transfer.
• Save changes.

Screenshot placeholders

• [Screenshot: Settings → Notification Settings — show master toggle & template import area]

Best practice

• Keep notification text to 1–2 lines. Use a CTA button for conversions.

Troubleshooting

• Not showing? Confirm Published + check visibility rules (see section 5). Clear site cache.

Campaign Management — Step-by-step

• Location: Renotify → (Hello Bars / Notifications / Popups / Social Proof)

Steps to view & manage

• Go to the specific campaign tab (e.g., Renotify → Popups).
• Use the Campaign Table to view campaigns and status (Active, Draft, Expired).
• Click + Create New (or + Add New Notification / + Create Popup).
• Use Filters & Search to find campaigns by type, date, status.
• From campaign card: Duplicate, Edit, Preview, Pause, or Delete.

Creating a new campaign (quick flow)

• Click + Create New → choose Template or Blank Canvas.
• Step through: Appearance → Behavior → Visibility → Schedule.
• Preview → Save as Draft or Publish.

Pro tip

• Use templates to keep consistent brand style and speed up campaign creation.

Troubleshooting

• Not showing? Confirm Published + check visibility rules (see section 5). Clear site cache.

Triggers & Automations — Step-by-step

• Where: In each campaign’s Behavior tab when creating/editing.

Available triggers & how to set

• On Page Load — set delay in seconds (e.g., 3s).
• On Scroll — set percentage depth (e.g., 50%).
• On Exit Intent — enable to capture users moving to close/leave.
• On Inactivity — trigger after user idle for X seconds.
• Click Trigger — target a CSS selector or element ID to fire the campaign.

Frequency / automation

• Set Occurrence frequency: Once / Everytime / Once per Hour / Once per Day / Once per Week / Once per Month / Custom.
• For Social Proof: enable Queueing to play events one after another.

Example use

• Popup for cart recovery: Trigger = Exit Intent + Frequency = Once per session.

Troubleshooting

• Trigger not firing? Check CSS selector for Click Trigger, disable conflicting JS, test in incognito mode.

Visibility & Targeting — Step-by-step

• Where: Campaign → Visibility (also global targeting defaults in Settings)

Rules you can apply (examples)

• Pages/Posts: Entire site, homepage, or selected URLs.
• User Roles: Logged-in users, guests, or specific roles.
• Geolocation: Countries / regions / cities (requires IP Info Token).
• Device / Screen width: Desktop, mobile, or custom breakpoint.
• Cookie / Session storage: Show when specific cookie or session key exists.
• UTM / Referral / URL Parameters: Target traffic from campaigns or sources.
• Language / Browser / HTML element / User agent.

Steps to set visibility

• Open campaign → go to Visibility.
• Add rule(s) using drop-downs and input fields (e.g., Show when URL contains /checkout/).
• Combine rules (AND/OR) where supported.
• Preview the campaign on a page matching rules, then Publish.

Example

• Show a Hello Bar only to mobile users from India arriving with UTM utm_campaign=diwali:
  • Device = Mobile
    
  • Country = India (IP Info)
    
  • UTM parameter = utm_campaign equals diwali

Troubleshooting

• If a campaign doesn’t show despite rules: check for conflicting rules (e.g., page URL excludes it), check IP Info token validity, and confirm caches are cleared.

Campaign Controls — Step-by-step

• Where: Campaign → Schedule/Settings

Steps

• In campaign editor, open Schedule.
• Set Start Date and End Date (for limited-time promotions).
• Configure Daily Timing (e.g., show only between 09:00–18:00).
• Set Auto-Close (dismiss after X seconds or on interaction).
• Use Status toggle to set campaign to Draft / Active / Paused.

Best practice

• Use Start/End for seasonal campaigns to avoid forgetting to disable them.

Testing & Debugging — Step-by-step

• Before publishing, always test each campaign on staging & in different contexts.

Steps

• Preview inside editor (Preview button) to confirm layout and copy.
• Test Device views: Desktop, Tablet, Mobile (use devtools).
• Test Triggers: simulate scroll depth, exit intent, or click target.
• For geolocation: use Test Token (IP Info) and/or VPN to test country targeting.
• Check Templates import/export to ensure JSON structure is valid.
• If campaign doesn’t appear:
  
  • Confirm campaign Status = Published.
  • Clear WordPress cache & CDN cache.
  • Disable conflicting theme CSS/JS temporarily.
  • Open browser console to find JS errors that block triggers.
• For Social Proof: verify events queueing and duration settings.

Useful debugging checks

• Is the shortcode placed on a page that matches visibility rules?
• Are frequency rules preventing re-showing? (Once per session, etc.)
• Does theme use position: fixed overrides that hide elements?
