Should I delay pop-ups until engagement signals appear?

I'm struggling with when to display pop-ups on my e-commerce site. Every time I show them immediately after a visitor lands, they seem annoyed and quickly close them. But I also don't want to miss opportunities to capture leads or offer discounts. I've heard about waiting for engagement signals, but I'm unsure about the precise timing, what constitutes a meaningful engagement signal, and how this impacts conversion rates. How can I strategically time my pop-ups to maximize conversions without frustrating potential customers?
