How to display modal after a delay?

I want that if a user stays on my website for around 20 seconds, a modal asking for user's name and email address will be displayed. I have fetched id of the modal div and stored it in the function myFunction(). The main problem here is nothing gets displayed after 20 seconds.

Following is my code:- 

<!-- Apart from window.onload, I have also mentioned the function with body onload-->

<body onload="myFunction" id="myPage" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar" data-offset="60">

            <script type="text/javascript">

            window.setTimeout(function myFunction() {

                document.getElementById("exampleModal");

                },20000);

            </script>

        <!-- Modal code -->

             <div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
             <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
             <div class="modal-content">
             <div class="modal-header">
                    <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">New message</h5>
                    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
                      <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
                    </button>
                  </div>
                  <div class="modal-body">
                    <form action="MessageServlet" method="post">
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="recipient-name" class="col-form-label">Recipient:</label>
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="recipient-name" value="[email protected]" readonly="readonly">
                      </div>
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="recipient-name" class="col-form-label">Your Email ID:</label>
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="email-name" name="email-name" placeholder="Email ID">
                      </div>
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="message-text" class="col-form-label">Message:</label>
                        <textarea class="form-control" id="message-text" name="message-text"></textarea>
                      </div>


                  <div class="modal-footer">
                    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send message</button>
                    </form>
                   </div> 
                  </div>

                </div>

              </div>

My aim here is, when a user enters a value within the modal fields and clicks OK, user's data will be sent to the email servlet. Thank you

You can see below example. Replace second and modal code as per your need.

setTimeout(function() {
    $('#myModal').modal('toggle');
}, 200);
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
  <div class="modal-dialog">

    <!-- Modal content-->
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>Some text in the modal.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>

  </div>
</div>
