Magnet has two columns, so you’ll have enough space for an image of your lead magnet and your copy.
After this, you’ll be prompted to name your campaign.

Step 3: Display Your Pardot Popup
Even if you’re marketing to other businesses, you’re still targeting real people.
So, a generic popup campaign isn’t going to deliver the results you want.
What you want is to show the right offer to the right person at the right time.
One of the advantages of OptinMonster is that it gives you total control over where and when you display your popup.
This is possible with triggers and targeting rules.
Targeting lets you display campaigns based on your visitor’s:
- Physical location
- Device they’re using to browse
- Referring site
Triggers use your site visitor’s behavior to show popups:
- When they’re about to leave your site
- After they’ve spent a certain amount of time on your site
- Once they click a link or image
In this tutorial, we’ll be using 2 different targeting rules: Exit Intent and Page Level Targeting.
Exit Intent®
Exit intent triggers a popup as your visitor is about to leave your site.
It’s a great way to show your visitor a targeted offer one last time before they leave your site.
IMSource increased their list by 4,250% using exit intent popups!
Head over to Display Rules.
Select Exit Intent®.
Exit popups are one of the most powerful ways to increase your conversions.

Page Level Targeting
You’ll also need to select which page you want to display your popup.
You could use Page Targeting to only show your popup on certain pages. For instance, you might want to display your popup on pages about email list building.
Step 4: Integrate Pardot and OptinMonster
Syncing OptinMonster with Pardot is simple.
Head over to Integrations at the top of your editor.
Select Add New Integration.
Choose Pardot from the Email Provider dropdown menu.
Now, you’ll need to log into your Pardot account to get your API User Key.
From your Pardot dashboard, click on the gear icon in the top right corner.
Click on Settings in the menu.
On the next screen click the My Profile tab.
Scroll down to the API User Key.
Copy the key.
Head back to your OptinMonster account.
Paste the API key into the corresponding field.
You’ll also need to add an account label. Choose anything that makes it easy for you organize your integrations.
The final step is to publish your campaign.
