To edit any part of your popup, simply click on it.
Let’s have a look at how that works.
Click on the text.

OptinMonster has so many ways to make sure the right visitors see your full page popup at the right time, like:

- Scroll trigger: display after someone has scrolled down the page
However, today, we’ll go with Time on Site. This will let you control when your full page popup is displayed to your site visitors. For example, you could show as soon as someone lands on your site. Or, wait until they’ve spent some time viewing your content so you can display it to your most engaged visitors.
Click Display Rules.

Select the time.
You can fine-tune this even further when you add another display rule.

This way, whenever someone completes your optin form, their email address will be added to your email database.
Head over to Integrations.
Click Add New Integration.
Find and select your email provider from the dropdown.
Follow the prompts to connect to your email service provider.
