What will my visitors see if I have multiple pop-up forms active on a page?
The following rules determine which pop-up form your visitors will see when viewing a page with multiple active pop-up forms.
Previous pop-up form submission or dismissal
If a visitor previously dismissed a pop-up form, that same pop-up form won't appear again until after the Show dismissed pop-up form again after time period has passed.
If a visitor dismisses a pop-up form on a page it will also hide any other pop-up forms on that page. However, any other pop-up forms on the page will appear during the next session until the visitor dismisses or submits the form.
If a visitor previously submitted a pop-up form and then views the same page in the same browser without clearing their cookies, the same pop-up form will not appear again. If there are any other pop-up forms on the page, the next active pop-up form for that URL that they are eligible for will appear, provided that the visitor meets the targeting criteria.
Pop-up form triggers
If there are two pop-up forms with different triggers set to display on the same page, the pop-up forms may conflict and not appear until one pop-up form has been removed.
For example, if one pop-up form is set to load on all pages and is triggered on 50% page scroll, and a second pop-up form is set to load on all pages and is triggered on exit intent, either or both pop-up forms may not load even when triggered respectively.
Pop-up form location
When evaluating two or more pop-up forms with the same form type and location, HubSpot prioritizes the targeting rules based on specificity in the following order:
- Website URL is: targets the specific URL of the page and is an exact match.
- Query parameter equals: targets a specific query parameter found on the page.
- Website URL begins with: targets the beginning of the URL of the page.
- Website URL contains: targets a word that’s found in the URL of the page.
For example, if you have a pop-up form set to load on All pages and a pop-up form set to load on a specific website URL, such as http://www.domain.com/home, the pop-up form set to load on http://www.domain.com/home will appear.
This applies to pop-up forms that have the same triggers or the same form type.

If the user has previously submitted or dismissed the most recently created pop-up form, they will be shown the next pop-up form they are eligible for.
How do I use a pop-up form as a contact filter, list criteria, or workflow enrollment trigger?
When you add a contact filter or list criteria based on Form submission, all pop-up forms will have the words Pop-up form preceding the pop-up form name.
If you have a Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise account, you can enroll contacts who have submitted a pop-up form into a workflow by using Form submission as an enrollment trigger and selecting the pop-up form.
Can I customize the style of a pop-up form with my own CSS?
Because of a pop-up form's HTML structure, it is not recommended to apply your own CSS for custom styling.
Can I use pop-up forms to subscribe contacts to my HubSpot blog?
No, it is not possible to use pop-up forms to have contacts submit your HubSpot blog subscription form. Learn how to manually add contacts to your subscriber list.
If you have a Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise account, you can set up a workflow to enroll contacts who have completed your pop-up form and update the blog email subscription contact property (or any other contact property that's used as list criteria for your blog subscription list).
Why is my pop-up form not tracking clicks or click-through rate?
HubSpot only tracks clicks and click-through rate for pop-up forms that have Form step selected in the Callout tab. If any other option is selected in this section HubSpot will track views only.
How do I select the subscription type a contact is consenting to on my pop-up form?
When configuring your form, you can select the subscription type for the pop-up form in the Data privacy options section.
