That depends on the browser! Each browser will display your notifications somewhat differently, but in general the notifications will look appropriate for the device/OS/browser on which they are displayed

Are there any design templates to choose for opt-in box?

Yes, there are many templates for HTTP based setup opt-in. Configuration is possible within your ReachDrip control panel.

Targeting Subscribers with Segments

You can quickly categorize subscribers into different segments. This helps you efficiently target a particular set of subscribers registered under particular segments (group). A typical use case could be one segment each for your categories i.e. Sports, Fitness, Homepage, etc.

  1. Step 1: Create segments from Segments tab.

  2. Step 2: Add the following JS code on your category pages or on any pages of your site

Subscribing for Single Segment

<script>
    var _rd = [];
    _rd.push('Sports');
</script>

**Subscribing for Multiple Segments

<script>
    var _rd = [];
    _rd.push('Sports', 'Fitness');
</script>

Soon, you have some subscribers under segments, you would be able to send personalized messages to specific segments. Users interested in Sports are more likely to click on your notifications about Sports than Politics.
