External Embed Layout Options for forms
After clicking on it, a popup will appear with the Embed Layout Type. It provides 4 forms of design layout for users to choose from:
Sticky Sidebar
Polite slide-in
Popup
Inline
1. Sticky Sidebar
A Sticky sidebar will appear on the side of the screen. Users can choose for the sidebar to appear either on the right or left side of the screen. The sidebar can also be minimized, and a user prefers to choose whether they would like it to be minimized. To set the preference to minimize or not, a user can use the checkbox in the image below the sticky sidebar (see the image below). A user can also give a specific title for the sidebar to show when the sidebar is minimized.
2. Polite Slide-In
A polite slide-in appears at the bottom of the screen. A user can select either the right or left side of the screen for the form to appear. Slide-in forms stay for a limited time on the website. Once the user is done, it disappears and gives a user a free space to scroll through the website. Just like the sticky sidebar type of form, it is possible to allow the form to minimize it or not.
3. Popup
Pop-up forms are used to collect visitor's information on the website. This type of form can be closed when they appear on the screen, but it can not be minimized.
4. Inline
In an inline form, all elements are inline and left-aligned, and the labels are alongside. This type of form appears along with the content of the page. Sticky sidebar and slide-in forms can either be closed or minimized, but Inline forms cannot be closed or minimized.
Trigger Type
