    Hi Rares,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. To clairfy, are you referring to Jotform Apps? If yes, can you specify what kind of pop-up youy'd like to add to your app?

    If you're looking to embed a form into your Jotform app, it's currently not possible to do so, since the Pop-up Embed method is only available for embedding forms into a website. You can embed your form into your app using the Form element under Basic. Let me walk you through adding it to your app:

    1. In App Builder, click on Add Element on the upper-left corner.
    2. Under Basic, click on Form.
    3. Select the form you want to embed, and click on Add Form.

    2. Search for iFrame Embed, and click on it.
    3. Click on the Gear icon, and enter the form URL into the Frame URL field.

    Hey, thank you for your time. It's almost what I would like. I thought you could show me a possibility, whenever the users enter the app, a pop-up window will show, and then they can complete the form. Thank you again, if it is not possible, it's not possible. Have a great day.

    Hi Rares,

    Thanks for using Jotform. Unfortunately, we don't have this feature yet with the App Builder since there's no option to inject CSS code. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available, rest assured we’re always working to add new services and features to Jotform. I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. When or if it's implemented depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know. 

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
