Best Practices: Sharing a survey via email or SMS

Campaigns can be scheduled or sent immediately. They can be triggered manually based on a time and date, or automatically via an API.

Setting up a push campaign

Feedback → Surveys Share → Email/SMS → Create New Campaign

  1. Stack follow ups within the same active campaign and select the delay before scheduling a further push

  2. Add a condition to ONLY send to those that haven't given feedback yet.

  3. If you want to avoid sending pushes on certain days of the week, like Saturday or Sunday, you can select the days to ignore with the "Days to skip" feature.

Uploading recipients

When uploading a .CSV, the file must have a column email for the email campaign or phone for an SMS campaign. Any other column will be attached to the Feedback as Attributes and can be used in the message.

Phone numbers must follow the International prefix (using the E.164 format), have a maximum of 15 digits, and are prefixed with the country code with the plus (+) character.

Attach attribute information that you already have on the contact here, in order to better analyse your feedback once it gets completed.

Trigger pushes using the API

Feedback → Surveys → Share → Email campaign → Info

You can setup an email or SMS campaign to be sent out automatically using Feedier's API with a connection to your database. Setup the campaign in advance, then attach the campaign id to be triggered.

Reporting on pushes

Dashboard→ Pushes

The graph gives you pushes that were sent, the ones that were opened, clicked, and the feedback that you received through all your email campaigns.

 

Editing existing pushes

  1. If you need to make adjustments, you can cancel a campaign which will remove ALL pending pushes so you can start again

  2. If you need to edit an individual email, or block an individual email from being sent, you can make the changes directly on the push status and listing table.

NOTE: The timing on the dashboard (campaign, feedback and pushes table) is related to your current timezone. If you need reports to match a different timezone, you can go to

A drop occurs when you try to send a message to an email address listed on one of the suppression lists: Bounces, Unsubscribes, Spam reports and Invalid Emails.

Editting the unsubscription message

For emails sent by Feedier, the unsubscribe text is added automatically by Feedier.

The content can be personalized under Feedback → Survey → Content Editor → General

Feel free to update it to your needs, but make sure to keep the [unsubscribe] tag, as it will be replaced by the unsubscribe link automatically by Feedier.
Example:

<a href="[unsubscribe]">Unsubscribe here</a>

 

FAQs

Updating a push campaign step (changing the time delay between steps) will have no impact on the already scheduled pushes. Only when new recipients added to the campaign.  

Yes, adding a new email step within a campaign will automatically create a new push for existing recipients.
