Make and promote a text opt-in path

1. For a text-in path, start by going to your campaign and creating a new opt-in path using the correct naming convention
   
2. Select your keywords. Caps don’t matter but spacing does.
3. Write the conversation. Here's a suggested series of messages in the conversation that will help you collect important information!

First message:

UNITE HERE Local XX: Reply ENG for union texts in English

Responda ESP por textos sindicales en español

RecurringMsgs/Txt STOP 2quit/Msg&DataRatesMayApply

[SAVE RESPONSE AS “Language” in the long green menu on the right. Be sure you're scrolling within the "Save Response As" section]

Second message:

UNITE HERE Local XX: {% if language has "esp" or language has "espanol" or language has "español" or language has "spanish" or language has "eso" %}OK. Siguiente paso: responda con tu NOMBRE COMPLETO (ej .: Rosa Díaz.)

MsgsRecurrentes/Txt STOP 2quit/ TarifasSePuedenAplicar {% else language has "eng" or language has "english" or language has "ingles" %}Ok. Next step: reply with your FULL NAME (ex: Rosa Diaz).{% endif %}

[SAVE RESPONSE AS “Name”]

Third message:

UNITE HERE Local XX: {% if language has "esp" or language has "espanol" or language has "español" or language has "spanish" or language has "eso" %}Genial, {{first_name | capitalize}}. Ultima pregunta: Donde trabajas? Esto es importante para obtener informacion precisa.

{% else %}Great, {{first_name | capitalize}}. Last question: Where do you work? This is important to get you accurate information.{% endif %}

[SAVE RESPONSE AS “Company” or “Property” or whatever you usually use for workplace. Be aware that whatever someone responds will overwrite what is already in that field.]

Final message:

UNITE HERE Local XX: {% if language has "esp" or language has "espanol" or language has "español" or language has "spanish" or language has "eso" %}Estas registrado. Para mas informacion visita nuestra pagina web

{% else %}You're signed up. For more info, visit our website

Make an opt-in path for your Website

1. Start by going to your campaign and creating a new opt-in path using the correct naming convention. Choose the second radio button for a path via web form.
2. Write your conversation (see suggestion listed above)
3. Get the Web Form Code Snippet and change the key and the redirect website.
4. Put the code snippet on a page on your Website!

IMPORTANT: people who sign up via an opt-in path (either by filling out this form or by texting l878 to 877877) won't be in any groups yet. To be sure they get the information they need, you will need to add them to the correct group so they get the messages meant for their workplace.

The web form and the text messages that come from it ask for workplace, but people don't always answer the question. From your campaign, click Report to the right of the name of the opt-in path:

From there, you can click the number of subscribers and either review them or download a CSV. Once you see the numbers and figure out what groups each one needs to be in, you can upload them to the right groups.
