The 'Email collection' user choice on your Offerwall message gives site visitors the option to provide their email address and, after successfully completing this task, earn access to your site content. Offerwall implements the email collection choice on your behalf, so that no code changes are needed on your site.
To get started, select the email collection choice within the Offerwall message builder. This can be your only choice, or it can be included along with other choices such as 'View an ad' (rewarded ad).
After the Offerwall message is published, the message will show on your site with the configured options, including email collection.
How you can manage your Offerwall
You can control exactly where, when and how your Offerwall message is shown to visitors on your sites. You can choose to deploy the message to more than one page. Use URL inclusions and exclusions to target and customise your Offerwall messages so that they only appear on specific pages of your site.
You can also set thresholds to determine when site visitors will see the Offerwall message within a certain period of time, helping guard against showing the message too often.
