Send One Time Notification for Proactive Messaging

Updated 

Sprinklr allows brands to send one-time marketing campaigns on WhatsApp for promotional, transactional, and marketing purposes. This involves starting a brand-initiated conversation hence only HSM templates can be sent. The whole process can be divided into 4 steps where:

  1. Create marketing content (HSM template) to be sent using Digital asset management.

  2. Upload customer details using the Audience profile section.

  3. Create cohorts of target customers using the Audience segment.

  4. Create a marketing journey and schedule the same (either immediately or for a future time) using the Journey facilitator.

Create marketing content using the Digital Asset Management module

1. Click the New Tab icon. Under the Sprinklr Social tab, click Assets within Engage.

2. In the top right corner of the Asset Management window, click the Dropdown icon alongside Add Asset and select Omni Chat Templates from the dropdown.

3. On the Create New Asset window, fill in a name and a description for the asset in the respective fields under Basic Details

4. Under Asset Specific, select HSM from the Template Type dropdown and WhatsApp Business from the Channel dropdown.

5. Under Message Details, select the Header Type as None, Text, Image.

a. None - Selecting None will provide you a template without the header

b. Text - Enter the text you want to appear as a header

c. Image - Select Add Image - You can either select the image from SAM, Media Valet, or upload it.

6. Next, enter your message content in the Message box. Formatting messages in the template is easy. You can bold, italic, strikethrough, make code blocks, and add emojis.

(You can also create dynamic content using placeholders. To create dynamic content using placeholders, use double curly brackets while creating the content. Use numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) inside the double curly brackets, which will represent the custom fields below the Message box.)


7.  From the Buttons field, select from the following options:

a. None: Select None if you do not want to add any button to the template.

b. Quick reply: Quick reply buttons allow your customers to send a simple text message. Enter a label for the button and a postback message which

is stored at Sprinklr backend whenever a user clicks on quick reply.

c. Call to action: With Call to action, you can allow your customers to call on a phone number and/or visit a URL     

8. Click Save in the bottom right corner to create the template.

After saving, this template will automatically be added to the Facebook Business Manager for approval. You can see the current approval status of the HSM templates in the Digital Asset Manager itself. The status will be visible in the DAM preview as well as in the edit mode of that template. 

Upload customer details using Audience profile module

Sprinklr enables you to import user profiles from CSV or Excel files. You can add a CSV or Excel file containing all the audience profiles to be added to specific Profile Lists via Audience Profile in Sprinklr.

Note :
If there is some issue with any data field in the CSV or excel file, the audience profile will fail to upload or update, and you will get a notification stating the number of failed profile uploads or updates, with a link to download the file with failure reasons stated. Below are some reasons for failure.
