You can use toggleModal to manually trigger the popup from the server.

library(shiny)
library(shinyBS)

ui <- fluidPage(
  mainPanel(
    bsModal(id = 'startupModal', title = 'Dum Dum', trigger = '',
            size = 'large', p("here is my mumbo jumbo")),
    width = 12
  )
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  toggleModal(session, "startupModal", toggle = "open")
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
