How To Add A Growform Multi Step Form To Unbounce (Overlay Method )

This post shows you how to add a multi-step form to your Unbounce page as an overlay – i.e. how to get a form to “pop up” when somebody clicks a button:

The overlay method is a nice way to avoid overwhelming your visitors when they first see your form.

If you want to embed a multi step form directly on the page, you’re in the wrong place, and should head to this guide.

2 – Get your Growform share code

To get your Growform share code, open Growform and make sure your form is saved. Then, navigate to “Share form” in the top blue bar.

Choose the second option – “Show Growform as a modal when your users click something on your website”.

Click the code and copy it to your clipboard.

3 – Find your Unbounce trigger button and give it a custom class name

In Unbounce, find the button you wish to use as a “trigger” in Unbounce and click it (whilst in the editor) to reveal the properties panel.

Find “class” under “Element metadata” and enter any class name you wish – let’s call it “growformTrigger”:

Take a note of your class name – you’ll need it in the coming steps.

Don’t forget to save your Unbounce page and do the same for mobile view.

4 – Get your Growform share code

To get your Growform share code, open Growform and make sure your form is saved. Then, navigate to “Share form” in the top blue bar.

Choose the second option – “Show Growform as a modal when your users click something on your website”.

Click the code and copy it to your clipboard:

5 – Paste your code into Unbounce‘s JavaScript area

Click “Javascripts” at the bottom of the Unbounce editor and then “Add new Javascript”.

Ensure “Before body end tag” is selected under “Placement”.

Paste the code you copied in step 3 into the box.

Finally, replace the growformTargetClass on line 4 (“myButtonClass123”) with the class name you copied in step 2 (in this example’s case, “growformTrigger”).

This is vital so Growform knows to trigger the modal when somebody clicks your Unbounce button.

Hit “Done” and then save and view your changes:
