Action Bars

Add quick links to make a reservation, call the restaurant, newsletter signup, offer a gift card, or open the location in google maps

Updated over a week ago

The action bar appears on every page of your website at the bottom part of the browser's screen. 

These are clickable items to perform a quick action, eg. opening the restaurant location in google maps, calling the restaurant, making a reservation, pop-up a newsletter signup form, redirecting to a gift card page, etc.

When the action bar is activated, it is always visible and "sticks" to the bottom of the screen while scrolling. You can customize the action bar that appears on the desktop view and mobile view.

Step 1 - Access the Action Bar Settings

To access your footer setting, open the page content editor and select "Desktop Action Bars" or "Mobile Action Bar" on the page's side menu to load the settings.

  • Desktop Action Bar - settings will be applied when the website is viewed through a desktop or laptop

  • Mobile Action Bar - settings will be applied when the website is viewed on a mobile device


Step 2 - Select Action Bar Elements
