What it is
Time on page, in plain words.
Time on page makes a campaign wait until a visitor has spent a set number of seconds on the page they're on, anything from 0 to 3600.
The timer starts when the page has loaded and restarts on every new page, so it's about this page, not the whole visit.
It's a condition, not a trigger: it decides who is eligible, while the trigger decides when the popup appears.
