If the trigger point is set to onElementHover then this value is used to delay or prevent the accidental firing of the box and attempts to determine the user’s intent. It is recommended to use at least 30 ms.

Open box as soon as the page is ready

A use case for this trigger would be when you want to show a box right after the page is available to your users without waiting for all the assets of your site to finish loading. This helps bring the box into your users attention as soon as possible.
