If you create a single-channel campaign by clicking on any channel, link the channel template created in. that particular service in the MSG91 account and select the contacts from the Phonebooks created in the Segmento. Then map the details and you can Launch the campaign right away and can also Test run it.

Note: You can edit the campaign name by clicking on it in the first step box. The Campaign Name can have up to 50 Characters.


4. Drag an option from the Library as per your requirement for creating the flow in the campaign, for example, we have dragged the node "SMS".


Drag the pin from 'Start' and connect it to the Node that we have added i.e. SMS.


If you are unable to view the campaign channels on the right side, click the pencil icon at the top to edit it.

Note: If you will not add any details under SMS Flow, it will be shown as "Incomplete" with an exclamation mark.


6. Click on the Save button and the node will be updated and you would be able to see the change on the screen itself.




7.  Similarly, you can use other communication channels such as SMS, Email, Whatsapp, etc.

Note: It will also help you in the cost-cutting of any campaign. 

For example: if on the first go, the SMS gets failed on any number instead of sending the SMS again, you can trigger an Email.
