OptinMonster makes it easy to show campaigns to visitors only after they have or have not viewed a specific page of your site.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use the Pages Visited Display Rule in OptinMonster.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin:

  • The Pages Visited rule requires a Growth subscription.
  • The Pages Visited rule lets you display your campaign based on specific pages the visitor has already visited during their time on your website.

Troubleshooting

What should I enter in the Key field?

This field accepts only a valid URL Path.

The URL path is a specific portion of a web page’s URL, but not the full URL. The URL path is the text after the domain and before any query arguments or anchors.
URL Structure

Entering a query argument into the Key field will cause the targeting to fail. Only valid URL paths are accepted. It is not possible to target query arguments or hashes with this Display Rule.

In some cases, this rule may not work as expected on SPA sites. If you’re experiencing this issue please submit a support ticket.
