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.
