When you build a campaign in Triggerbee, everything starts with a solid structure. Unlike other "pure" design tools, Triggerbee uses a logical grid system that makes layout predictable, responsive, and easy to manage — without the risk of “misplaced” components.
This article will help you understand the underlying structure of a campaign and how to use drag-and-drop correctly within the grid.
The Grid System
Drag-n-dropping within a campaign is based of a grid system, with a canvas, containers, and columns. Triggerbee’s grid system keeps everything tidy and responsive. Here’s how it works:
Action | Description |
🔼 🔽 Vertical Drag-and-Drop | Within a Container, you can move components up or down freely |
⬅️ ➡️ Horizontal Drag-and-Drop | Within a Column, components can be moved left or right |
❌ Free Placement | You can’t place components anywhere. Everything must follow the grid rules |
This ensures that your campaign always aligns correctly on both desktop and mobile.
Canvas
Each step includes one Canvas, which is the foundation of your design.
This is where you choose:
Layout type (popup, embedded, fullscreen, panel, etc.)
Size (width and height)
Entry/exit animations
There is always one Canvas per step — no more, no less. The Canvas is accessed by clicking the top row of any step in the Layout menu.
3. Containers
Inside the Canvas, you can add one or more Containers.
Containers are vertical blocks used to group content logically.
Most campaigns use one container, but you can add two for side-by-side designs (e.g., form on the left, image on the right).
Each container can span a different percentage of the canvas width.
4. Columns
If you want to place elements next to each other horizontally inside a container, you’ll need to add Columns.
You can insert pre-made two- or three-column layouts, but you can add as many columns as you wish.
Components placed inside columns can be arranged left/right
Useful for aligning:
Text next to an icon
Two form fields side-by-side
Two buttons side-by-side
No column = no horizontal layout.
Add components to your columns via the ADD button, and rearrange them with the left/right arrows
5. Components
These are the actual content elements you drag into your layout. You'll find all the components available in the ADD menu. Among other components, some are:
Text, headlines, buttons
Images, stickers, input field
Radio buttons, dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.
Deadline clock, coupon code, memory and spin the wheel
Survey components
Components can be dropped into containers and are styled via the right-hand panel. Components are added to columns via the ADD button in the column component.
