{% embed url="<https://d7networks.com/media/documents/campaign.webm>" %}

**Campaign Page Overview**

Our campaign page is designed for maximum user convenience, organized into three intuitive tabs to simplify the process of setting up and managing your SMS campaigns.

**1. Message Tab:**

<figure><img src="/files/CGYqowBiLPYit4ssncBf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this tab, you can craft the content of your SMS campaign. We offer several features to help you create effective messages:

* **Personalization Options**: Easily personalise your text messages with placeholders for recipient names, dates, and other custom details to enhance engagement.

{% embed url="<https://d7networks.com/media/documents/message.webm>" %}

**2. Contacts & Schedule tab**

One of the key aspects of campaign scheduling is adding your target audience, specifically the recipient phone numbers. Given that your list might include thousands of contacts, manually adding each number would be incredibly time-consuming. To streamline this process, we offer four efficient options for adding recipients to your SMS campaign:

<figure><img src="/files/FxKpEJPmGSRtvaeIGPS4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Copy Paste:** Enter phone numbers individually for smaller or highly specific lists.
* **Add from Contacts:** Quickly import phone numbers directly from your existing contact list within the platform.
* **Add from Group:** Select predefined groups of contacts that you’ve already organised, making it easy to target specific segments of your audience.
* **Import from CSV:** Upload a CSV file containing all your recipient phone numbers for bulk additions. This is ideal for large-scale campaigns, ensuring a quick and hassle-free import process

**Note:** For detailed instructions on adding Contacts and Groups, please refer to the [Contact book](/contact-book/add-your-contacts) section in the documentation.

We provide the flexibility to allow or disallow **duplicate contacts**. When disallowed, only unique contacts will be included as campaign recipients. However, if permitted, the same contact number may appear multiple times. This duplication feature proves beneficial in scenarios where you filter your contacts based on variables or if you have personalised messages to send, where the same contact number may have different associated variables in your contact book.

Additionally, there is an option to [**filter recipients**](/sms/send-sms-campaign/campaign-filters) based on rules you provide, allowing for more precise targeting.

Once the recipients are added, you can easily schedule the timing of your campaign to ensure it reaches your audience at the optimal moment.

**3. Summary Tab**

In this tab, a country-wise recipient list will be displayed, giving you a clear overview of your campaign's reach and ensuring that your messages are being sent to the correct regions.

# Set up WhatsApp ChatBot

Create and manage WhatsApp chat flows with our chatbot feature.

Our dashboard includes a chatbot feature that lets you design and manage your own WhatsApp chat flows, providing an intuitive way to create automated conversations and enhance customer interactions.

<figure><img src="/files/C8pXNHJnmmdeR8FEyZ1s" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Getting Started**

1. **Creating Your Chatbot**:
   * Upon accessing the chatbot feature, a form will open asking you to provide a name for your chatbot. Choose a name that represents the function or purpose of your chatbot.
   * Additionally, you will have the option to choose a registered WhatsApp phone number for your chatbot. This step is optional, meaning you can create your chat flows without connecting to a WhatsApp registered number. Note that, as of now, one phone number can be connected to one chat flow.
   * You will have the option to add keywords. This step is optional. If added, the chatbot will start replying when a user sends a first message that matches the keywords.
   * Enable session expiry to set an idle time in minutes. If the user becomes inactive during a conversation, the chatbot will automatically send a session expiry message.
2. **Drawable Page Interface**:
   * After naming your chatbot and optionally selecting a WhatsApp phone number, you will be taken to a drawable page. This is where you can define and visualize your WhatsApp chat flow.
   * The drawable interface allows you to create nodes and connect them, representing the flow of the conversation.

**Creating Your Chat Flow**

1. **Adding Messages**:
   * **Text Messages**: You can add simple text messages that will be sent to users at specific points in the conversation.
   * **Media Messages**:Upload and share images, videos, documents, stickers, audio, contacts, and locations with users.
   * **Interactive Messages**: Enhance user engagement with interactive elements such as buttons, lists, and links for quick responses.
   * **Conditional Logics**:Control how the conversation flows by setting up rules. Based on whether a condition is met, the bot automatically routes the user to the correct next step.
     1. **User input & value** \
        Define conditions based on what the user types or a specific value you set. If the condition is satisfied, the flow moves to the corresponding **Yes** step. If not satisfied, it redirects to the **No** step — ensuring every user always follows the right path.
     2. **Business hours**

        When a user messages within the configured time zone and active time window, the flow continues to the next step. Messages received outside business hours are routed to a separate fallback step.
   * **Integration :**&#x59;ou can trigger automated actions and extend your conversation flow.
     1. &#x20;**Webhook**&#x20;

        Call any external API directly from your flow\.You can test the webhook before saving and capture the response. Based on the response received, the flow can be routed to different next steps — letting you branch logic depending on what the external service returns.
     2. **Nested bot**

        Within your deployed bot, you can connect other bots you've already built and saved on the platform. When the conversation reaches this step, messages are passed through the connected bot — allowing complex, reusable sub-flows to run seamlessly within the main conversation.
   * **Frequency Control:**&#x53;et a trigger frequency to manage how often a flow runs. You can choose to either stop the flow entirely or skip the current step and move forward if the time limit is reached.
2. **Defining the Flow**:
   * Use the drawable interface to connect different messages and create a coherent conversation flow.
   * Each node represents a step in the conversation, and arrows define the path the conversation takes based on user interactions.
3. &#x20;**Test Your Flow**:
   * Once you have defined your chat flow, save your progress and use our built-in simulator to test it. This allows you to preview exactly how the chatbot interacts with user responses in real time, ensuring everything works perfectly before you deploy it.
4. **Saving and Deploying the Flow**:
   * Once you have defined your chat flow, save the flow.
   * To see your chat flow in action, deploy the flow. This will activate your designed conversation and make it functional for user interactions.

**Chatbot Performance Analytics**\
Gain deep insights into how your automation is performing with our comprehensive data dashboard.

Track the following key metrics to optimize your user experience:

* Total Users:The number of users who have interacted with the chatbot since its deployment.
* Unique Users:The number of distinct user who have messaged the bot.
* Active Conversations: The number of conversation currently in progress.
* Completion Rate: The percentage of users who started a flow and successfully completed.
* Drop-off Rate: The percentage of users who exited the flow before finishing.&#x20;
