The Hashtag Method: Enabling Quick Sign-Ups via SMS

Using Hashtags in Campaign Sign-Ups

The Hashtag Method allows participants to sign up for your ConveYour campaign by sending a text message with a designated hashtag. This is especially useful for:

• Live events (speakers, performances, workshops).

• Follow-up courses after an in-person or virtual session.

• Easily testing your campaign from the learner’s perspective.

How to Set Up a Hashtag Sign-Up

1. Navigate to Main Menu > Campaigns > Campaign Settings > Invite Tools.

2. Locate the "Sign Up Hashtag" section.

3. Choose a simple, one-word hashtag (avoid spaces. Hyphens are allowed).

4. Ensure your welcome messages are set up in Campaign Settings > Registration & Confirmation.

How the Hashtag Method Works

Example Scenario

• You’re a speaker at an event and want attendees to stay engaged post-event.

• You display:
  "Text #JoinUs to [Your ConveYour Number] to sign up!"

• Attendees text the hashtag, and they:

  • Receive an automatic confirmation message.

  • Get a direct link to the campaign portal.

  • Are added to your contact list for follow-ups.

What If They Make a Mistake?

If someone texts the wrong hashtag but uses your ConveYour number, the SMS Catch-All feature will:

• Still capture their contact information.

• Send them an automated response to guide them.

• Notify you so you can manually assign them to the correct campaign.

Why Use Hashtags?

• Instant Sign-Ups – No need for forms, just a simple text message.

• Better Engagement – Encourages attendees to connect with your content in real time.

• Automated Tracking – Automatically categorizes learners into groups.

• Easy Follow-Ups – Capture contact info for continued outreach.
