Campaigns

Campaigns allow you to send relevant and timely news via email or SMS, making it easy to communicate with employees.
Campaigns are a powerful tool for reaching and engaging with your entire workforce, including employees who may not be directly connected. With campaigns, you can deliver relevant and timely news through email or SMS, simplifying communication within your organization. Internal communication teams can leverage campaigns to create compelling and professional employee communications targeted at specific user groups, reducing email overload and increasing engagement.
Here are some examples of campaigns you can create:
  • "Onboard newly joined clinicians"
  • "Share best practices with store managers for efficient store execution"
  • "Send approved security and operational practices to branch managers"
With campaign tracking, internal communication teams gain access to valuable data and metrics to improve their communications and demonstrate the effectiveness of their campaigns. Users responsible for creating or managing campaigns can view detailed insights for each sent campaign.
Network admins or admins with access to the "Campaigns" module can clone, edit, deactivate, and delete campaigns as needed.

Multi-channel smart delivery of targeted information

Campaigns empower you to disseminate messages through various channels and devices. When configuring each step within the campaign, the creator can choose between two delivery methods: Smart delivery or Single channel delivery.
Opting for "Smart" delivery prompts MangoApps to prioritize the following sequence for delivering messages to the user: Email first, SMS, and M Mail (Private Message).
How it works:
If the step message cannot be delivered via email, either because the user does not have an email address or the email was undelivered, the system will try sending the message through the SMS channel.
If the step message cannot be delivered to the user via SMS, either because the user does not have a phone number in the system or the SMS was undelivered, then the system will attempt to send the message through the Private Message channel.
Note that if the Private Message feature is disabled in the domain, then a Private Message delivery will not be attempted.
If all the delivery channels fail, the user's status will be changed to "Error," and no further step messages for that Campaign will be sent to the user.
Here's an example:
Consider a user base of 25,000, with 20,000 users having an email address, 3,000 having only an SMS number, and 2,000 having neither email nor SMS.
For the 20,000 users with email addresses, an email delivery will be attempted.
For the 3,000 users with only SMS numbers, an SMS delivery will be attempted, and this will also be attempted for any users from the 20,000 who experienced a bounced email.
For the 2,000 users with neither email nor SMS, a delivery attempt will be made via M Mail (Private Message). This delivery method will also be attempted for any users from the 3,000 whose SMS was undelivered and for any users from the 20,000 whose email bounced and SMS was also undelivered.
​
Single-channel delivery (Manual) option
If the Single-channel delivery (Manual) option is chosen, MangoApps will only try to deliver the step message on the selected channel.
However, if the message cannot be delivered to the user on the selected channel, either because the user requires the channel address or the message was undelivered or bounced. The user's status will be changed to "Error." In such cases, no further step messages for that Campaign will be sent to the user.
​
Message Designer
The Message designer is a feature that comes with each step of the Campaign. It provides a user-friendly interface with various options to create visually rich messages. Users can embed various media types into the messages, such as videos, images, text, posts, files, and tables.
Users can choose from different fonts, layouts, and colors that work together seamlessly to create a beautiful, company-branded communication that can be accessed from any device, including mobile and web.
The Message designer also provides easy-to-use UI tools to move blocks up/down, increase/decrease block widths, duplicate blocks, fetch media from URLs, integrate media gallery, and much more.
Changes are auto-saved as a draft so that Campaign creators don't lose their work. Additionally, Campaign creators can edit a step message using the message designer at any time, regardless of the Campaign's status.
​
Placeholders:
Variable placeholder support in Campaigns allows creators to personalize subjects & content. These placeholders include:
  • Campaign title
  • Message Title
  • Recipient Display Name
  • Recipient First Name
  • Sender Display Name

User Lifecycle in a Campaign

  • Series Campaigns allow the creator to set up automation rules based on user personas using any of the user profile attributes.
  • Automation rules allow audience targeting in unlimited ways, for example, sales associates who join in the last 30 days in a specific region, frontline staff who have the lowest engagement in the last 30 days, etc.
  • Campaign creators can also manually add any user to a Campaign at anytime.
  • Campaign creators can un-enroll a user from the Campaign at any time.
  • Campaign creators can re-enroll a user into the Campaign (who hasn't finished the Campaign) to re-start from the beginning or from the step at which they were un-enrolled
  • Campaign creators can see at which step enrolled users are at any time.
  • Detailed progress logs for each enrolled user are provided to track their progress through the Campaign.
  • Users can continue to be enrolled in paused Campaigns. They can't be enrolled in archived Campaigns.

FAQ

When Should I Use This Feature?

The Campaigns module makes it easy to reach and engage with your audience, including employees who are completely un-engaged with your intranet. It is the best way to deliver relevant and timely news over email and/or SMS.
Campaigns are recommended in the following scenarios:
  • When you want recipients to easily view the campaign contents without requiring them to log onto your platform.
  • When you want to personalize the campaign by addressing each employee by name in the subject line of their email/message.
  • When you desire more detailed analytics compared to regular posts, such as day-by-day graphs showing total views, opened vs unopened, clicked vs not clicked, and more.
  • When you want to target a specific segment of users based on their engagement level.
  • When you want to target specific segments (or a combination of segments) that may not be their own department, group, or project.
  • When you need to bypass users' notification settings.
  • In situation when the content you are sharing does not necessarily need to appear in users' news feeds.
Using campaigns in these situations can provide you with greater flexibility and control over your communication efforts.
Use-Cases for Campaigns include:
  • Open Enrollment information
  • Branch/location closing due to weather
  • Onboarding new employees
  • Mandatory training
  • Leadership update
  • Encourage users to login to or learn the benefits of your platform
  • Communications that would benefit from specific user targeting and personalization, as well as specific delivery methods
