Adjust the time between visitors entering your website and showing the pop-up

You can delay the pop-up invitation Task Analytics uses to invite visitors to participate. Doing so allows you to invite visitors after a defined number of seconds. Follow the instructions below to adjust your survey code.

Adding a time delay to the pop-up invitation

Step 1

Copy & paste the code below into your preferred code editor or notepad. You can also download and open the zip-file at the bottom of this article.  

1. <script>
   
2. (function() {
   
3.   var delayMillis = 5000;
   
4.   var delay = RegExp('_tmc=(.*?)(;|$)').test(document["cookie"]) ? 0 : delayMillis;
   
5.   var loadTA = function() {
   
6.     // enter code here
   
7.   }
   
8.   setTimeout(loadTA, delay);
   
9. })();
   
10. </script>

Step 2

Log in to Task Analytics and find your survey code. Copy the code between the <script> and </script>. 

Copy your survey code (between the <script></script>)

Step 3

Replace the existing survey code, line 6 of the script shown in step 1 of this article, with your own survey code.

Step 4

Adjust the delay by changing the number of milliseconds in line 3. In this example, the delay is set to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

Step 5

Publish this code on your website.
