This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the customer support team to help customers set up and customize Opt-in templates in PushOwl. It’s designed to make the process clear and efficient.

Process

1. Access the Opt-ins Section

  • Go to the Opt-ins page in the PushOwl dashboard.

  • Select New Opt-ins in the top-right corner.

2. Choose a Template Type

  • Select Code Your Own Template.

  • A preview screen will open, allowing customers to add or modify code in a boilerplate template.

3. Customize the Template

  • Guide customers on how to personalize the template:

  • They can directly edit the code within the preview window to align it with their brand and content needs.

4. Map Contents

  • Assist customers in mapping key elements, such as:

    • Data Fields: Link fields for collecting emails, names, or other information.

    • Buttons and Call-to-Actions: Map relevant CTA elements.

    • For SMS opt-ins, ensure they map the corresponding fields.

5. Create Custom Attributes

  • Explain how to add custom attributes for email and SMS.

  • These should match the customer’s unique data collection needs.

6. Save and Enable the Opt-in

  • Instruct customers to save their changes.

  • They should then enable the Opt-in to activate their custom template.

7. Preview and Perform Final Checks

  • Remind customers to preview their Opt-ins before publishing:

  • Verify that the Opt-ins display correctly and meet expectations.

  • Encourage using desktop and mobile previews to check the template’s appearance on different devices.

8. Publish the Opt-in

• Once satisfied with the preview, customers can publish the Opt-in template.

Important Reminders

  • Double-check all customizations and mappings before enabling the Opt-in.

  • Always preview the Opt-in in both desktop and mobile modes for accuracy.
