Broadcasts Library and Ready-Made Broadcasts

The Broadcasts library: thirteen ready-made broadcasts written by Avox, from a new offer to asking for a review, each with its template, a suggested list, tips and a phone preview.

You don't have to start a broadcast from a blank page. Avox has written ready-made broadcasts for the messages businesses send most: a sale, a restock, an invitation, a review request. Each one comes with:

• its template from the Avox template library, written to be approved as a Marketing template;
• a suggested list: who it's best sent to, filled in for you;
• tips for getting the most out of it.

Pick one and the broadcast wizard opens with everything filled in. Change anything you like before you send.

Where to find them#

3. 3

   Use it

   With Template ready, click Use this to open the wizard filled in. With Needs its template, click Add its template first (see below).

Template ready or needs its template#

A broadcast can only send a template Meta has approved. Each ready-made broadcast checks whether your Switchboard has an approved copy of its template:

• Template ready: you have it. Use this uses your approved copy ("It uses your approved copy of the ... template. Everything stays editable in the wizard.").
• Needs its template: you don't have it yet. Add its template opens the template library with that template picked. Meta reviews it, usually within a day, then the broadcast is ready to use. Come back to the library and it says Template ready.

Tips for each#

What "Use this" fills in#

Use this opens the broadcast wizard with:

• the Name, ready to change;
• the Template: your approved copy of the ready-made broadcast's template;
• the Variables, for example each contact's first name, with "there" when a contact has none, and empty boxes for what only you know (like what's on offer);
• the suggested list on the Audience step, as a starting point.

Nothing is sent until you go through the check, tick the permission sentence and press Send now or Schedule. Check the suggested list against your own contacts and tags: it's a starting point, not a rule.

When Use this is greyed out#

Hover it to see why. It's greyed out when:

• you don't have Create and send broadcasts;
• creating broadcasts is turned off for your account (AVX-3871);
• there's no active plan (AVX-3869);
• this month's broadcasts are used up (AVX-3868);
• your Switchboard already has 10 broadcast drafts (AVX-3894).
