auto popup on homepage

[ed_geis]

Can anyone point me to a tutorial showing how to create a popup that automatically opens on the homepage? I'm on Magento 2.3.1.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for those links, Dave.

I installed the mageplaza extension and created a new popup but couldn't get it to actually display.

Then tried some custom code but had difficulty customizing it the way I wanted.

I'll go back to the extension again and see if I can get that to work. Maybe there's a conflict with another extension?

Thanks again, I'll report back with results.

I'd create a block with the content.

On homepage, add a modal html window with that block/js.
Add css either inline, or in a separate file (added in page layout update xml in backend or as module.less or theme.less file)
