How do I open a popup from a button?

Hi, new user to bubble and having trouble simply linking from a button to a popup. I want to program the workflow to say “when button is clicked, open this pop-up”, but I can’t even figure out how to get the pop-up to appear. It doesn’t appear in “navigation” and doesn’t appear in “elements” on the workflow tab.
Please help !

Hi there, @leah.cohen.shohet… I’m not sure what you mean by “doesn’t appear in the ‘elements’ on the workflow tab,” but you are looking for the Show (and I believe Toggle works, too) action under Element Actions in the workflow. So, when the button is clicked, initiate an action to show (again, Element Actions >> Show) the popup. Does that make sense?

Best…

@mikeloc- THANK YOU! This worked. I hadn’t realized that I could use the actions contained within element to get to the next step. Works and thank you so so much

@mikeloc to revisit this… when I tried Show an Element in my workflow, the popup I designed is not among the list of Elements to show. :thinking:

Did I miss a step?

Hi there, @matsonian… if you created a popup on a page and then you added the Element Actions >> Show workflow to that page, the popup should appear in the element list. Can you share some screenshots of the popup and the workflow?

@mikeloc Thank you for the reply… I looked at it again in testing and realized my mistake… I was adding the popup to the page I wanted it to appear on, but the Element was part of my Header. I tested the PopUp as part of the header and it worked fine. Just have to think through this a bit more. Thank you again!

Hi Mike,

The pop-up element doesnt’appear if the button is within a REUSABLE element.

Any idea how that can be resolved?

I’ve never tried it myself, @zahir, but I think I’ve seen other posts that say the button and the popup both need to be inside the reusable element in order for that scenario to work.

Yes!! That works. Thanks a ton, @mikeloc :pray:
