Watch: how to set up an opt-in flow
How-to set up an opt-in flow
Set a trigger keyword phrase (e.g.
Hey! I want to subscribe to your WhatsApp channel 🙏) and copy the WA.ME link:
The WA.ME link you copied can be used anywhere to guide people into WhatsApp. Once tapped, clicked or scanned the trigger keyword phrase will be automatically pre-filled
2. Add a welcome message and ask to confirm the opt-in via reply buttons:
3. Set opt-in=YES by;
a. Connecting the YES reply button to a Manage Subscriber node=Subscribe
b. Select the correct opt-in
4. Set opt-in=NO by;
a. Connecting the NO reply button to a Manage Subscriber node=Unsubscribe
b. Select the correct opt-in
5. Add any additional questions
6. Store the responses using the Manage Tag node:
Remember: adding Tags off of the additional questions will mean you can use this information to segment your audience in the future.
7. Publish 🚀
Problems publishing your flow?
If you don’t ask a question with two QRBs before collecting an opt-in, you cannot publish your flow as this would be a non-GDPR-compliant opt-in.
To collect GDPR-compliant opt-ins, you need to always give your customers the option not to opt in. The best way to do this is to use a message node with two quick reply buttons (QRBs). After that message, you can then connect two opt-in nodes to the respective QRBs.
