Simple JavaScript for Exit-Intent Detection

// Exit-intent detection script
let exitIntentTriggered = false;

document.addEventListener('mouseleave', function(e) {
    if (e.clientY <= 0 && !exitIntentTriggered) {
        exitIntentTriggered = true;
        
        // Get page category
        const pageCategory = document.body.getAttribute('data-category') || 'general';
        
        // Trigger webhook to n8n/Make.com
        fetch('YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                event: 'exit_intent',
                page_category: pageCategory,
                page_url: window.location.href,
                session_duration: Date.now() - sessionStart,
                user_agent: navigator.userAgent
            })
        });
        
        // Show exit-intent popup
        showExitIntentPopup(pageCategory);
    }
});

function showExitIntentPopup(category) {
    const popupContent = {
        'pricing': 'Get our pricing guide before you go!',
