Welcome to Tech Tuesday. Today we are going to dive into What Campaign Properties are in Contact Reach?
The campaign properties is where you can find additional not so common features to configure in your campaign.
Today we will go over all of those sections and what they can do for your campaign!
Step 1:
To view your campaign properties go to your regular campaigns list first.
Step 2:
In the action menu click on the properties menu.
Step 3: [ADDRESS INFO]
The address info is where you can add the business address of the campaign.
This is not a required field but it helps to identify the location of the campaign especially if the business has multiple branches.
Step 4: [SHORTENER]
By default all campaigns will use a shortener that is selected in the settings of the account.
However if you want to override that default choice in your campaign you can do that here.
Bit.ly and rebrand.ly uses an API to integrate, you will have to add the API keys in the settings to be able to choose a shortener.
If no API is set in the settings then URLs will not be shortened and will use the regular links.
Step 5: [GDPR COMPLIANCE]
The GDPR Compliance tab is disabled by default.
You can enable it be using the switch.
A pre made compliance message is already created for you – which you can customize accordingly.
Step 6: [3RD PARTY LIST]
The 3rd party list is your auto responder that you would use to forward subscribers from contact reach.
Set up is required in your account settings to show the list in this tab.
Step 7: [NOTIFICATION SETTINGS]
The notification settings is used to receive notifications when their is a new subscriber SMS and API lead notification will send a notification if someone has subscribed to the campaign via text keyword.
Full lead notification will send a notification if someone has subscribed to the campaign via webform.
Notifications can be set through both SMS and email.
The Lead Notification Phone will send a SMS for New Subscribers
While the Inbox notification phone will send an SMS if a subscriber is sent a message to the campaign phone number .
The phone merge tag in the inbox notification phone will be replaced by the phone number of the sender.
And the message merge tag will show the message.
The chat link merge tag will be replaced by a link which redirects to a chat page to directly send an sms to the subscriber
The email notifications work similarly with the SMS notification – the message will be through email.
Lead notification Email will send an email for new subscribers while inbox notification email will send an email if a subscriber sends a message to the campaign number.
The broadcast email will allow you to send a broadcast message without going to your contact reach account.

The type is a requirement and you can only choose from SMS, EMail or both.
The body is also required as it helps the system determine which part of the email is the message
To send a broadcast message via phone SMS enter the campaign number as the recipient.
Then add the pincode you have generated followed by a space and then the broadcast message.
Step 8: [PAGES AND TEMPLATES]
The pages and templates section is where you can find the pages that came with your template.
If you have imported a template this page will show the coupon pages, form thank you page, coupon thank you page and email templates that came with the template.
For manually created campaigns it will not show the pages & email templates in here since the pages and email templates can be changed right away and the system will not be able to track it.

If both are selected in this area then the subscriber will automatically join the contest after filling out the regular campaign form and will also receive the survey welcome message.
Step 13: [REFERRAL PROPERTIES]
Referral Properties is a reward type feature of contact reach campaigns.
Subscribers can get points which can turn into rewards whenever someone subscribes to the campaign using their referral link that they shared through Fb or something similar.
