Integration – Email Marketing Campaign

Below we describe the two most used email marketing campaigns using plan text email or MailChimp tools. The other tools can also be easily integrated by the same principle. Should you have any questions on any tools, feel free contact us.

Plain Text Email

You may just paste the URL of either Contact Form, direct Phone Call or direct Video Call in your email. Example is that 2ConnectMe send greeting email to any new account where we put URL of contact form. User can reach us to have live chat at any time.

Sample Marketing Campaign Email here

Email Text linked with Live Chat URL

Since it is rather odd to paste URL address directly on the plain text email. It is possible to “hide” such URL address by “linking” the the text to an URL address. The following illustrate how to do that in different mail clients, .e.g. Microsoft, Mac and Gmail.

Microsoft Outlook Client

Start by highlighting the text you want to link, and then:

– Right-click and select Hyperlink from the menu.

– Go to the Insert tab and select Hyperlink.

– Press Ctrl + K.

Any of those options will bring up the Insert Hyperlink window, where you can enter your Live Chat Room URL in the Address field.

In the Outlook Web App, highlight the text you want to link and then click the Insert Link button () and enter the URL in the Insert link box that appears.

Depending on the size of your window, you may need to click the down arrows (shown in the image below on the far right) in order to access the Insert Link button.

Mail Client on Apple Mac



Gmail



MailChimp is one of the most common used email marketing campaign tools. The integration has never been easy before. Just paste URL address of chat room (2ConnectMe) to either action buttons or linked texts (MailChimp) as illustrated in the examples below.

Create Live Chat button on MailChimp email

In design & edit email, choose “Button” with Url address pasted from copied 2ConnectMe chat room URL address.


Create plain text email with Live Chat link

1. Highlight the plain text and click the link button

 

2. Paste Url address from copied 2ConnectMe Chat room URL address.
