Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to add a newsletter pop up to the Dawn Theme. We have received numerous requests for this feature, and we are here to deliver! The newsletter pop up allows you to capture email addresses and connect them to your Klaviyo account. It offers a more visually appealing and customizable alternative to the default email section provided by the Dawn Theme.

Adding a Newsletter Pop Up to the Dawn Theme

The Dawn Theme is equipped with an email section, which serves its purpose well. However, it lacks a newsletter pop-up feature. To address this, we have developed a snippet that adds a sleek and effective pop-up to your website. The pop-up includes options to blur the background, an X button, an email image, customizable text, and a submit button. By using this snippet, you can enhance your brand's email collection process while providing a visually appealing experience for your visitors.

Customization Options

With the newsletter pop-up snippet, you have the opportunity to customize various aspects of the pop-up's appearance. You can choose the overlay opacity, blur intensity, border radius, and even the image displayed. This allows you to align the pop-up with your brand's aesthetics and create a seamless user experience. Additionally, you can modify the input label, entry text, and subscribe button text to match your brand's tone and messaging.

Integrating with Klaviyo

The newsletter pop-up seamlessly integrates with Klaviyo, a popular email marketing platform. If you already have a Klaviyo account installed through apps, the integration will be automatic. You can verify the successful integration through the apps section in your backend dashboard. This integration ensures that the email addresses captured through the pop-up will be seamlessly added to your Klaviyo email list.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Accessing the Backend Dashboard

To add the newsletter pop-up to your Dawn Theme, you need to access the backend of your website. Navigate to your dashboard and locate the "Edit Code" section for your Dawn Theme version. If you are using Dawn 7.0.1 or a similar version, you can proceed to the next step.

2. Adding Required Files

In order to implement the newsletter pop-up, you will need to add specific files to your theme. These files include Megaman, Micro Modal, and the pop-up assets. If you already have these files, you can skip this step. Otherwise, follow the instructions in the provided html file to add these assets to your theme.

3. Editing Theme Code for Newsletter Pop Up

Once you have added the required files, you can proceed to edit your theme code. Open the theme.liquid file and locate the footer section. Add the newsletter pop-up code at the very bottom of the footer. Save the changes to apply the newsletter pop-up to your website.

4. Previewing and Customizing the Pop Up

After applying the changes to your theme code, refresh your website to see the newsletter pop-up in action. On the right sidebar, you will find various settings to customize the pop-up's behavior, including its visibility on the homepage and time delays for displaying the pop-up. You can also modify the overlay opacity, blur intensity, border radius, and other visual elements of the pop-up.

5. Testing and Finalizing

To ensure everything is working correctly, test the pop-up by interacting with it as a visitor would. Confirm that the email addresses entered are being captured and integrated with your Klaviyo account. Make any necessary adjustments to the pop-up's settings or appearance based on your preferences. Once you are satisfied with the final result, publish the changes to make the newsletter pop-up live on your website.
