Grow Your Email List with a Flodesk Popup on Your Showit Website: How to Add a Flodesk Popup to Your Showit Website (Step-by-Step Guide)

Why Add a Flodesk Popup to Your Showit Website?

Ever wondered how to add a Flodesk popup on Showit website? If you’re using your Showit website to attract dream clients, having an email list is one of the best ways to build trust, nurture leads, and stay top of mind. Pairing Flodesk (my favorite email marketing platform) with Showit (my go-to website builder) makes it easy to collect emails and deliver freebies automatically.

And the best part? You can set up a popup form so your visitors are instantly prompted to join your list and grab your lead magnet.

Step 1: Create Your Freebie in Flodesk

Before you add a popup, you need the freebie (lead magnet) ready to go. This could be:

• A PDF guide
• A checklist
• A discount code
• A mini training or resource

I LOVEE using Canva to quickly create these.

In Flodesk:

1. Go to Forms → New Form
2. Select Popup Form
3. Customize the text, colors, and fields to match your branding
4. Connect it to your Freebie Delivery Workflow (this ensures subscribers get the freebie automatically after joining)

💡 Pro Tip: Keep the form simple. Usually, just first name + email address converts best.

Step 2: Customize Your Popup Form in Flodesk

Flodesk gives you several style options. You can:

• Add a headline that makes the freebie irresistible
• Use your brand colors + fonts so it looks seamless on your site
• Adjust the timing (e.g., appear after 5 seconds, on scroll, or on exit intent)

Once you’re happy with it, click Embed Code → Copy.

Step 3: Add the Flodesk Popup Code to Showit

Now we bring it into your Showit website.

1. Log into your Showit dashboard.
2. Go to Site Settings → Custom Head HTML.
3. Paste the popup embed code from Flodesk into the box.
4. Publish your site.

🎉 That’s it! Your Flodesk popup will now appear across your website.

Alternative Ways to Connect Flodesk and Showit

Beyond popups, you can also:

1. Embed Inline Forms:
   Place a Flodesk form directly on a Showit canvas (like your homepage or blog sidebar). Great for a “Join the Newsletter” section.
2. Standalone Landing Pages:
   Create a freebie landing page in Showit, then embed the Flodesk inline form. Perfect for ads or direct traffic campaigns.
3. Link Buttons to Flodesk Pages:
   Instead of embedding, you can create a Flodesk-hosted form and link to it with a button in Showit. Quick and easy!

Best Practices for Flodesk Popups on Showit

• Don’t overdo it: One popup per site is plenty—too many interrupts the user experience.
• Offer value: Make your freebie irresistible so visitors want to give their email.
• Test your workflow: Always sign up yourself to ensure the form connects to the correct workflow and delivers the freebie instantly.
• Mobile-friendly: Check how the popup looks on phones and tablets.
