Content-Gate Pop-Up

Display a Pop-up when a Member clicks a Course for the first time.

Written by Christoph Gimpl

With a Content-Gate Pop-Up, you can display a Pop-up to your Members before they open a Course for the first time.

Members can only start the Course once they have fully completed the Content-Gate Pop-Up.

This allows you to collect important information, have Members complete Member Properties, or display information to your Members before they start the Course.


What Can You Use Content-Gate Pop-Ups For?

1. Collect data before the Course starts:

For example, if you offer free Courses through your website, you can use them to acquire new potential Customers.

With a Content-Gate Pop-Up, you can request additional information from interested parties before the Course starts that is relevant to your sales process.

Members can only open the Course after they have entered the required information.

2. Have Member Properties completed or generated

If you use Member Properties in your Course, you can have them completed before the Course starts with the help of a Content-Gate Pop-Up.

For example, you can request personal details or other information that you need for your Member Properties.

If you use generated Member Properties, you can also ensure that they have been fully calculated before the Member starts the Course.

3. Display information and promotions

You can also use Content-Gate Pop-Ups to welcome your Members or share important information with them.

You can also draw attention to new products, services, or upcoming events.


How Do You Create a Content-Gate Pop-Up?

To create a Content-Gate Pop-Up, first open the desired Course and navigate to Settings → Configuration.

Here, you can create a new Content-Gate Pop-Up.

You can then either select an existing template or create your Content-Gate Pop-Up from scratch.
​


In the editor, you can customize your Pop-Up.

Simply drag and drop the desired elements into your Pop-Up.

In our example, we added a Course banner and a form. We use the form to request the Member's fitness data.

Add Multiple Pages

You can also split your Content-Gate Pop-Up across multiple pages.

This allows you to guide your Members step by step through different forms or information.

In the sidebar, you can also specify whether Members can return to a previous step.

Element: Loading Spinner

With the “Loading Spinner” element, you can display a loading animation in your Content-Gate Pop-Up.

For example, you can use it to create the impression that the Course is being prepared individually for the Member.

This element is especially useful if you use generated Member Properties that must be calculated before the Course starts.
​


You can customize the loading spinner and specify which text is displayed during and after the loading process.

You also have two options for setting the duration of the loading process:

  • Fixed duration: The loading spinner is displayed for a period of time you specify.

  • Generated Member Property: The loading spinner remains active until the selected Member Property has been fully calculated.

With the second option, your Members can only continue once the calculation is complete.

Preview and Publish

Once you have finished designing your Content-Gate Pop-Up, you can test it before publishing it.

To do this, click the eye icon in the top navigation bar to open the preview.

This allows you to check whether all elements are displayed correctly and whether your Pop-Up works as intended.

If you are not finished yet, you can exit the editor using “Exit” and continue working in the same place later.

Once you are satisfied with your Content-Gate Pop-Up, click “Publish” at the top.

The Pop-Up is then displayed to Members who open the relevant Course for the first time.
​

Management and Analysis

To manage your existing Content-Gate Pop-Ups, navigate to Pop-Ups → Content-Gate in the sidebar.

Here, you will find an overview of all Content-Gate Pop-Ups you have created for your Courses.

You can edit existing Pop-Ups at any time or set them to inactive if they should no longer be displayed to your Members.

You can also view the statistics for your Content-Gate Pop-Ups.

The same statistics are available for Content-Gate Pop-Ups as for regular Pop-Ups.

For example, you can analyze which Members have fully completed your Content-Gate Pop-Up.
