Adding a Home Page Popup message to your website

This article shows you how to add and remove Pop Up Messages to/from the Home Page of your website so you can share important updates with your customers e.g. New Opening Hours, Changes to Dine-In or Online Ordering, or Special Promotions etc.

1) In the Engage Admin, scroll the left navigation down to the "Website" section and click on Popups.

  1. Name your popup message,
  2. Select if you would like it enabled or disabled, and then
