Delayed Launch

Show the form after a delay or immediately when conditions are met

Delayed Launch controls when the form appears relative to a user action. Use Immediate to show the form right away when the trigger condition is met, or Delayed to wait a set amount of time—giving users a moment to settle in before asking for feedback.

ImmediateShows the form right away when the trigger condition is met.
DelayedWaits a set amount of time after a user action before showing the form.

When to use

  • Immediate — When you want instant feedback (e.g. right after a user lands on a support page or completes a key action).
  • Delayed — When you want to give users time to engage first—for example, a few seconds after they start a new session or enter the target audience.

Configuration

Launch Survey — Enter a number and choose the unit (e.g. 5 seconds). For immediate display, use the minimum value (0 seconds).

After the user... — Pick when the delay starts:

  • Started a new session — The timer begins when the user starts a new session.
  • Entered target audience — The timer begins when the user matches your targeting rules.
  • Was seen for the very first time — The timer begins on the user's first visit.

Tips

  • Avoid survey fatigue — A short delay (3–5 seconds) often works better than showing the form immediately on page load.
  • Match the flow — Use "Entered target audience" when you want the delay to start only after users qualify for your targeting rules.
  • Combine with recurrence — Use Recurrence Settings to avoid showing the form too often to the same user.
