Overlapping messages

  • Hello,

    I have two messages on page, one is showing after 20s and the other one on button click.

    Now if the message on click is opened at the time when timed message should open, then the timed message will just pop over the opened button click message.

    This way someone might start populating the form and gets interrupted with another message which he needs to close, then open again the popup form he started to populate, which is very confusing and frustrating.

    Is it possible that if one popup message is opened that timed message gets delayed or paused until active message is closed?

    Can you please advise on this.

    Thank you.

    It would certainly make sense to delay the timed message in your scenario.

    I recommend you don’t use two popups in this case. If your main form is in the popup, use an action bar / messenger / or any other message type to show your timed message. This way they won’t overlap.

    If you indeed need both to be popups, you will need to write some custom JavaScript code to delay the timed popup. Icegram has a very good JavaScript API that triggers events when a message is shown / hidden. What you can do is catch the “show” event of the first popup, and in it’s event handler, reset the timer for timed popup. Then catch the “hide” event of the first popup, and restart the timer for the timed popup.

    We won’t be able to add this feature in Icegram core because many people expect a timed message to show at the defined time – irrespective of other messages visible at that time.

    Hope this gives sufficient background and information to solve the problem you are facing.
