Message
An automated conversation is an email that is sent to a subscriber after a certain time after subscribing to the newsletter or after the previous chain event.
Through the email of the sequence subscribers receive a magnet (a free product) for which they left their contact information in a subscription form.
Sms
Sms – a small text message that will be sent to the phone number specified in the contact card.
Note! SMS messages are paid. Sending sms will be possible only if the required amount is on the balance. If there are not enough funds, then the chain will skip sending sms and move on to the next event. For all the rules for sending sms, see the corresponding article.
Action
Using Action, you can automatically add a contact to other groups and/or exclude from groups. This behavior is convenient if you need to translate a contact into another chain after the end of the current one.
Adding and editing chain events
All events are added to the chain sequentially one after the other and in the same way run from the moment the contact is subscribed to the group.
In the upper part of the window there are buttons Letter, Action, clicking on which the transition to the form of adding a new event to the chain – respectively emails or actions.
If you want to add a message that partially copies one of the existing ones, instead of adding a new message, you can click on the copy button located in the last column of the table and edit the opened message.
To edit an event, click on its title in the Name column.
Statistics
The basic statistics for each event are displayed directly in the table. For emails, this column is Done, Open, Clicks, Unsubscribe, Spam. For the action – the column Done.
For sequence letters, you can see more detailed analytics by clicking on the Statistics button located in the last column of the table.
Inseparable chain
If you do not want the subscriber to receive your instant messages while receiving the sequence, you can set up a so-called “inseparable chain.” This is done using the button with an exclamation point in the left column. You need to click on the button next to each item, which should not be smashed by instant messages. The exclamation mark will change the color from gray to green, and the elements will be merged into inseparable chain.
This function is convenient, for example, when a sales series of messages is configured in the auto-chain. In order not to distract the subscriber by other offers at this point in time, it is better to make such selling-messages inseparable.
Deleting events from the conversation
To delete an event, use the button with a cross in the right column. You must click on it and then OK in the confirmation window.
