[SOLVED] Reusable Element Custom State To Trigger Workflow On Another Page

[philnauta]

I have a reusable element with a text element that when clicked, triggers a custom state to ‘yes’.

I’ve embedded that reusable element on a page and I have a workflow on the page that says “when this reusable element’s custom state is ‘yes’, show the popup”. The popup is on the page, not the reusable element (and it needs to be that way).

I’ve set the workflow to do it “Every Time”. It works the first time I click the text element, but not subsequent times.

Any ideas for how to do this? Thanks! Phil

Got it thanks to this:

Showing a popup from a reusable header element

Hey Jen You can do this by setting the state on the resuable header. For example, on the page with the button, you can create a workflow which “When favorite button is clicked and current user isn’t logged in”, element actions --> set state --> element: header, custom state: popup (for example, type: yes/no), value: yes. Then inside the resuable element header, create a “Do when condition is true (every time)” event which is “When this header’s popup is yes” --> Show Login/Popup…

I needed to set the custom state back to no every time the popup is closed.
