Form Submission is One of 3 Default Triggers #

The Form Submission trigger is one of the 3 triggers included with the free version of Popup Maker ( the other two being the Auto Open / Time Delay, and Click Open triggers ).


Backward Compatibility for Users of Ninja Forms, GravityForms, and Contact Form 7 #

Users of the Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, and Contact Form 7 plugins were previously advised to use a default trigger with a plugin-specific form submission success cookie, such as: 

That approach using those plugin-specific cookies remains valid, but will be deprecated in a future version of Popup Maker and eventually removed from the Popup Settings box. 

The form plugin cookie methods will continue to work in the Popup Maker version 1.x series, which will maintain backward compatibility.  The individual form plugin methods will removed from the plugin in Popup Maker version 2.0. Going forward, you should use the newer “Form Submission” option instead which works with all three of these form builder plugins and many others.
