Creating a Call-to-Action (CTA) Overlay

A CTA overlay is a small, interactive pop-up that appears over the destination site when someone clicks one of your short links. It’s a powerful way to share messages, collect emails, promote offers, or ask questions without needing a full landing page.

Here’s how to create your first overlay in just a few steps.

 

1. Go to the CTA Overlay Section

From your dashboard, navigate to the CTA Overlays section. This is where you can view, create, and manage all your overlays.

 

2. Click the “Create” Button

Start building your new overlay by selecting Create. You’ll be asked to choose the type of overlay you want.

 

3. Choose Your Overlay Type

Different overlays serve different purposes. You can select from the following:

  • Message
    Display a short notification, announcement, or welcome message.

  • Contact Form
    Allow visitors to send you a message or request information directly.

  • Newsletter Signup
    Collect email addresses to grow your mailing list.

  • Poll
    Ask a simple question and gather quick feedback.

  • Coupon
    Offer a discount or promo code before users continue to the main link.

  • Image
    Show a graphic, product photo, or custom visual content.

Each overlay can be paired with a destination URL, so your message appears before redirecting visitors.

 

4. Customise Content and Appearance

After choosing a type, you can edit the content, adjust colours, add buttons, and fine-tune the layout. This includes:

  • Title and body text

  • Form fields (if applicable)

  • Button labels and links

  • Visual styling (fonts, colours, borders, etc.)

 

5. Click Save

Once your overlay is ready, click Save. You can now assign it to a specific short link, preview it, or start tracking its performance.
