The Side Panel is an overlay that is shown from the side and can contain messages and recommendations. It can be used to implement cross-selling strategies by pushing the user to buy additional products or to show general messages.
N.B. In the template section there is the new “Next Side Panel” version, updated, both in the graphic part and in terms of the simplification of customization that offers even more possibilities.
To configure a Side panel Message, go to Website -> Behavioral Messages from the left menu.
From the control panel, click on the “New Behavioural Message” button at the top right.
The configuration window will open (To learn more about the steps, read the following article “How to configure a behavioural message”). Continue with the settings until you choose the Template .
You can check the progress of the configuration through the bar at the top of the page.
At this point you can click on the “Select” button corresponding to the Side panel Message template and continue with the “Next” button at the bottom right of the page.
At this stage it will be possible to customize our message through the editor.
