A complete overview of all six Cavaco AI on-site widget types: Sign-Up Forms, Content Blocks, Recommendations, Product Reviews, Agents, and Consent Pages.

Site Widgets Overview

Cavaco AI provides a comprehensive suite of on-site widgets designed to engage visitors, capture leads, drive conversions, and build trust. Instead of requiring developers to build custom components, you can design and deploy high-converting widgets directly from the Cavaco dashboard in minutes.

All widgets are managed from the Site section in your left-hand navigation sidebar. They are categorized into six distinct types, each serving a specific stage of the customer journey.


1. Sign-Up Forms

Sign-Up Forms are your primary tool for audience growth. They capture emails and phone numbers from anonymous traffic, converting them into known leads that you can nurture through automated campaigns.

Universal Display Rules

Regardless of which widget type you use, Cavaco AI provides a universal set of Display Rules to ensure the right message appears to the right person at the exact right time. You can control:

  • Triggers: Time on page, scroll percentage, exit intent, or click-to-trigger.
  • Frequency: Show once per session, once per day, or stop showing after conversion.
  • Targeting: URL path rules, device types (mobile vs. desktop), and specific audience segments.
