Confirm Button

Overview

The Confirm Button asks readers one question with two buttons, such as "Get our morning briefing by email?" with Yes, please and Not now.

Yes saves the answer to the reader's profile and shows "Thanks, that's saved." Readers who have said yes are not asked again.
Not now hides the question for a number of days you choose, in that browser.

The answer is saved to a Yes/No profile field you choose, such as "Morning briefing". Create it in Data Management > User Data > Data Schema, or with the Create a field link in the experience. See Profile Fields.

Set up

Go to Audience Operation > Experience and click New Experience.
Pick Confirm Button, then click Next Step.
Enter a Name, choose the Project and turn on Enable.
Set the settings:

Setting	What it does
Question	What you ask the reader. Required.
Yes button	The text of the yes button. "Yes, please" if you leave it empty.
No button	The text of the other button. "Not now" if you leave it empty.
Ask again after (days)	How long the question stays hidden after a reader clicks the no button. 7 days for a new experience.
Saved to field	The Yes/No profile field you choose for the answer. Required.
Button colour	The colour of the yes button.

Click Save Changes. The preview shows how the question looks.

Put it on your pages

Place the question where it should appear, for example at the end of your articles. Copy the snippet from the experience, which fills in its ID, or replace EXPERIENCE_ID yourself:

<div data-exp="unis-confirm-button" data-exp-id="EXPERIENCE_ID"></div>

You can leave out data-exp-id. The question then uses the Confirm Button experience delivered to the page.

Who sees the question

Readers who are not signed in see the question. When they click yes, the sign-up window opens, and the answer is saved once they have signed up or logged in.
Signed-in readers see the question until their field is Yes.
Anyone who clicked the no button doesn't see it again until the days you set have passed.

Use the answers in segments

A yes sets the field you chose to Yes. The no button doesn't change the field. Use the field in Segments, for example the field equals Yes, to target the readers who said yes, or does not equal Yes to keep asking the others.
