Create Activity
After creating the Campaign, it will be directed to Activity page.
1. Click Create New Activity button and enter the Activity name.
2. Click Upload File button to upload the base excel file. Refer Editing the Base file section before uploading.
Info! Upload and run the test file before running the actual file to make sure all the data is captured like, sent, delivered, failed, read and the button clicks. If any of the above is not captured then please get all the events enabled from the respective person who has raised the campaign request.
3. Then, the total records present in the excel will be fetched and displayed shown in the Record Count.
4. Select the TPS (Transaction Per Second) to send the message.
Info! By approximate, it will take around 9 minutes to send the message for 50,000 people. Maximum time seconds in TPS is 100 sec.
5. Map the variables we have given in the base file as Var0 = 0, Var1 =1 in Body Variable and Value in Template with Value Type as Map Column Value. You can also give constant value to the assigned variable by clicking Assign Constant Value.
Basically, the variables defined in the message template are mapped against the column headers in the Data file. Also , we can assign a fixed constant value to one of the variables if it remains constant across customers (For example: Gold Rate for the day for a jewellery campaign)
6. Enable Distribute Batch check box and enter the batch size (number of records in each batch) and time interval to send messages for each batch.
7. Choose the Send option when to send the campaign: immediately or at the scheduled time.
8. After filling out the information click Create Activity.
Info! Click Campaign Estimate to view the estimation time and record counts for each batch.
