A friction-free way to collect email addresses when someone downloads a file from your site. Drop it into any post or page with a shortcode (or the block editor), and you're set.
Features:
- Simple to set up — no coding needed
- Show the download inline on the page, or trigger it from a button
- Or hook it up to a button you already have, so your site's styling stays untouched
- Choose from three popup styles to match your site
- Trigger the popup on exit intent, or after a set number of seconds
- Looks good on any screen — fully responsive
- Create as many downloads as you need — one plugin, unlimited lead magnets
- Works with the WordPress block editor — just drag it in
- Export everyone who's signed up as a CSV file, any time — your list is always yours
- Want new subscribers sent straight to your email marketing tool automatically? Low-cost addons are available for that. Download Magnet Addons
- Works with Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Kit, MailPoet, and Webhooks
- The Webhook option connects to almost anything — Zapier, Make, Automate.io, or your own system
- Optionally ask for a name too, and add GDPR consent so you stay compliant
- The download popup always displays on top of your theme, with an option to turn that off if it ever conflicts with something else
- Got a feature request or found a bug? Get in touch — I read every message and love hearing from users.
