Vibes Txting 101

made with txt love byNatalie

On the right, click “Login” (you’ll only have access to your own station)

In the grey box on the “nav bar” click “Campaigns”.

Here you’ll see every campaign, whether it’s an Alert, Vote, Info, etc..

WSSP Alert Keywords32961

• TEAM (breaking sports news or WSSP news)• BREWERS (breaking Brewers news/scores)• BUCKS (breaking Bucks news/scores)• PACKERS (breaking Packers news/scores)• BADGERS (breaking Badgers news/scores)• ADMIRALS (breaking Admirals news/scores)• PERKS Please never touch this, all 3 brands PERKS txt clubs

live on the WSSP short code, you’ll never have to update this

• WIN This is TBD, don’t worry about it right now, we’re squatting on this keyword

Other pre-set campaigns• INFO (by txting keyword info, listeners will be txt back our

address, hours of operation & are reminded to bring a photo ID to pick up a prize, very useful)

• REQUEST (this is the keyword listeners use when they want to txt you in the studio, followed by their message. Ex: Request Doug, Mike is correct on that score from yesterday)

• WSSP (this is the old keyword from mSnap & we want to take it out of circulation for a while so we can reuse it. If listeners txt WSSP and their message, it will still come to the studio, but they will get a bounceback message telling them the keyword isn’t valid & they should txt keyword REQUEST)

To send a txt to a certain “alert list” click either the description or keyword. Ex: click TEAM

Now, click on the green box “Broadcast Message” to send a txt to the “breaking news” alert list

The description is for your reference only. The message is what will actually be sent. And you can

also see how many subscribers the list has.

Compliance language (the not fun part)

• Anytime we send (or “push”) a message to an alert list, we legally must include the following language at the end of the message:

• Txt rtes aply/Reply STOP ____ 2quit• The _____ is whatever the keyword is for the

alert list you are using, otherwise if they are signed up for multiple alerts lists it will opt them out of every single one of them

This is a continuation of that same page, scrolled down. You’ll want to send to ALL (as indicated here). You cam click SEND NOW, or you can schedule it

to be delivered later but clicking on SCHEDULE.Ask me to explain “Override this message for a specific carrier”

Even if you click SEND NOW, you still must Review your message & then click OKAY to confirm or CANCEL

(if you need to tweak your message before it goes out)

Make sure the green stripe says “Congratulations, your message has been saved” otherwise, it’s not & it

won’t be sent

Info Campaign… you won’t have to change this, ever, but you can use it! Give it to contest winners. If they txt STATION to 32961, the bounce back

will give them our address and business hours & main phone number!

Request Campaign… this is how listeners will txt you in the studio

Click keyword LIVE and…

Scroll down to the bottom where it says REQUESTS. You can see comments come in & above it you can see the automatic bounce back message

listeners receive when they txt in. If you wan to “chat” with someone in particular, click on their

This handy box will pop up & you can type your message right in the box. You can type something to that person specifically in the SEND MESSAGE

box. Then hit “Send Message”.

Then, in the big box, your “chat” will come up, just like when you IM someone or CHAT on facebook. To clear it, just click the

red X in the upper right of the chat.

To create a new campaign, like a VOTING or TRIVIA thing, go back to the DASHBOARD & click on the green box “Create a

New Campaign”

Let’s look at Txt2Win Campaign You’ll click on Text-2-Win on the blue line, the click the green

“Create a New Txt2Win Campaign”

Txt2Win walk-throughAdd your end date/time and describe it (the description won’t

be seen by anyone)

Under the description, you’ll select your keyword & it will tell you right away if it’s available. Under Sweepstakes TYPE, click to see your options….

1. Random selection at end (most common) & you can pick how MANY winners will be randomly selected2. First Nth # of txters (like… the first 5 people who txt, win!)

3. The Nth txter wins (like… the 1250th txter wins!)4. Every Nth txter wins (like… every 3rd person who txts wins. Probably won’t use a lot)

5. Winner (s) MANUALLY selected (let the system just do it for you)

Here is where you’ll pick how often someone can enter. I like to keep it once per contest, seem more fair to me.

Number of winners (if there is more than one)

Response upon entry is the bounce back, like “Thnx 4 entering, we’ll have a winner b4 6pm”.

Response to winner(s) is optional, but you can easily type “u won the Bucks tix 4 2morrow! Reply INFO 2 get our address/hours of operation so you can pick them

up”

This is a continuation of the same page. You don’t have to send a response to non-winners, but you can (Ex: Sorry, u didn’t win the Bucks tix but we’ll have another change 2morrow around

2pm) to drive listening back to the station at another time

Very Important… you must click CREATE at the bottom

Trivia is a little challenging, took me a couple tries to get it right. Click “Create a New Trivia Campaign” in the green box.

Let’s take a look at a TRIVIA campaign

Trivia Campaign Walk-ThroughStart by putting in an end time

Put in your description (won’t be seen by the public), the keyword you want to use (it will tell you right away if the keyword is available or not), and the Trivia Type, which is either 1) pick a random winner(s) from all correct entries received or 2) the first “x” number of correct entries

win

Here is where you add your question, I haven’t tried adding a clue

Not sure why, but it prompts you to add a question before you’ve given possible answers to the first question, so scroll down to Questions & Answers

The keyword here is what listeners will txt as their answer. I use 1, 2, 3 if giving them 3 options. Then the description is the

“answer” that corresponds. Make sure you click “This is a correct answer” when you type that one.

Now I’m adding the second possible trivia answer, so 2 is my keyword & 212,000lbs is the corresponding answer. 212,000 is the correct answer so I checked the “This is a correct answer”

box

Here’s my 3rd choice for an answer. You can see all your answers too! Hit NEXT (at the bottom)

when you are finished

This is the screen after you hit “NEXT” & where you will finalize your campaign, tell the system how many winners to randomly pick from correct

entries received & write your bounceback messages

Bounceback messages to listeners who finished all the questions, winner(s) & those who didn’t complete the questions. You must hit ACTIVATE at the

bottom (not shown) to activate your campaign

Once you hit “Activate” you’ll see this screen

this is just scrolling down, but keep scrolling…

You can delete or move your trivia questions here

Here at the end, you can click at the very bottom “automatically subscribe to _____” which means …

The system can put anyone who enters the trivia contest into one of our Alert Lists, like TEAM, if you select an Alert Keyword from the drop down

box & hit SAVE. BUT… if you do that, you MUST disclose on air that by entering the contest, you’ll be put into our Txt Club.

VOTE CampaignGo back to the dashboard, where everything starts

and click on VOTE

VOTE Campaign Walk-ThroughClick “Create a New Vote Campaign” in the

green box

Add your end date & time (maybe it ends at the end of your shift; maybe til your shift starts the next day)

& your description that is for your reference only

When you scroll down it asks how many times a person may vote. You can do unlimited or 1-20 times per campaign, per day, per week, per hour, per month. Unlimited or once per campaign

make most sense to me.Assign a keyword they will txt to get the choices sent to their phone. Txt VOTE & see!

Then you write your question, keyword (like 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C) & then the corresponding description or choice

You can leave the Default Vote Response Message blank. Let the system just sent one. But… you MUST click CREATE at the bottom

The green box at the top tell you your VOTE campaign is active!

Scrolling down, you can review what you did. At the bottom (red box) here is The system can put anyone who enters the trivia contest into one of our Alert Lists, like

TEAM, if you select an Alert Keyword from the drop down box & hit ADD, then SAVE. BUT… if you do that, you MUST disclose on air that by entering the contest,

you’ll be put into our Txt Club.

On the far LEFT under Campaign Overview, click on “MANAGE WEB VOTING WIDGETS”

Click “Create a New Widget”

I’ll have Mo investigate this to see what boxes we should/shouldn’t be checking. I’m too afraid that a made up VOTE campaign I created will wind up on the site by accident

Click the NAME of the widget you want to create

And the url and iframe are created for you

Things we still wanna find out….Anything else??

• If there’s an app for this• If we literally have to type: Txt rtes aply/Reply

STOP ____ 2quit *** after any outgoing alerts are sent or if we can get the system to tag it automatically *** I spoke with legal & the wording has changed slightly from what I said this morning & it’s been updated in this ppt

• More about widgets (this will probably be a Mo thing), not be confused with midgets

The End

• I’m here to help• I’ll never claim to know everything because this is new to me

too• If I don’t know, I’ll tell you I don’t know & that I’ll find out for

you so we both learn how• Make sure any message you send to an entire ALERT List/Club

is: 1) anticipated 2) relevant 3) personal. Meaning if you received the txt you’re about to send, you wouldn’t make a strange face and say “why the heck would WSSP tell me this?”

• You can always call (or txt!) me at 414-429-1037 (unless you’re just drunk at a bar and need a ride)
