STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURES (SOPs)

SOP | How To Schedule Push Notifications in One Signal

Push Notifications

Drafting

  • Login to app.onesignal.com and click anywhere on the blue chart under ‘Total Users Per Day’.
  • Click on ‘Messages’ and select the button ‘New Push’
  • Under Part 2 ‘Message’ fill in a catchy title (article title will do) – it won’t let you go over 48 characters so short & sweet!
  • Fill in the message – like a preview text/subheading, get people interested
  • Scroll to Part 3 ‘Schedule’
  • Under Delivery, select ‘Begin sending at a particular time’.
  • Insert the correct date and time in YOUR time zone.
  • Check off ‘Intelligent delivery (recommended)’
  • Select ‘Save as draft’
  • In the Content Team Schedule Spreadsheet under ‘push notifications’, type in ‘drafted’ and change the colour of the cell to orange.

Scheduling

  • From the ‘Messages’ drop-down menu (next to ‘new push’) select ‘Drafts’
  • Find your draft from before (the message portion of the notification appears not the title so it might look strange, but searching by the date is helpful)
  • Add the final (not preview) article URL under ‘Launch URL’
  • Add the image URL. Find this by opening the article (you must be logged in to WordPress to access it), right-click on the header image and click ‘copy image address’
  • Check that the delivery date and time are correct (should be YOUR time zone)
  • Make sure ‘Intelligent delivery (recommended) is selected
  • Click Confirm
  • Make sure all the details are correct in the ‘Confirm Before Sending’ pop-up box and click ‘Send Message”
  • In the Content Team Schedule Spreadsheet under ‘push notifications’ type in ‘scheduled’
  • (If email, bot, and push notification are all scheduled) Comment in IK, tagging Gavin and Sam to notify them that everything is scheduled
  • No amends after Sam checks it unless absolutely necessary.
  • Had to change something? Notify him to check again!

How To Check Email, Bot, And Push Notification Stats

Don’t worry – this takes a long time to explain, but it’s really quick to do!

  • Here’s the stats spreadsheet (we only care about the tab ‘Broadcasts from INFUSIONSOFT’ – everything else is old info and no longer updated).
  • Check broadcast stats at 7am CST on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (24 hours after each video goes live). Set an alarm to remind yourself!
  • Check subscriber stats at 7am CST on Mondays, right after broadcast stats.

Checking Broadcast Stats

  • Add a row at the top of the spreadsheet and put YESTERDAY’S day and date in the first column.
  • Login to keap.com.
  • Go to Email & Broadcasts > View Email Broadcasts and click Search.
  • Find the email that was sent 24 hours ago and click View.
  • Put the email subject line in the Subject column on the spreadsheet.

Fill in the blue ‘Email’ section.

  • Right under ‘Broadcast stats’ you’ll see ‘Total delivered’. Put that number in the ‘Total Sent’ column.
  • On the next line down, look to the right and you’ll see the open rate (it’s a percentage). Put that in the ‘Open Rate’ column.
  • Look another line down and you’ll see the click rate (also a percentage). Put that in the ‘Click Rate’ column.
  • If yesterday’s video had no sponsor or article: look to the left and you’ll see ‘Clicks: Unique’. Put that number in the ‘Clicks To Video’ column.
  • Otherwise: Mouse over the green logo at the top left and you’ll see a drop-down menu.
  • Under ‘CRM’ click ‘Settings’.
  • On the left, click ‘Tags’.
  • Scroll down till you see the tags for yesterday’s email. They’ll be ‘[date]-Video’ and either ‘[date]-Sponsor’ for a sponsored email or ‘[date]-Article’ for an unsponsored one.
  • Click ‘Show Number’ beside each one.
  • Put those numbers in the ‘Clicks To Sponsor’, ‘Clicks To Video’, and/or ‘Clicks To Article’ columns.
  • If your email took an unusually long time to deliver, the numbers will be lower than usual. Put ‘AR 25‘ in red in the ‘Weekly Net Subs’ column so we know why.

Fill in the green ‘Facebook Bot’ section.

  • Login to Manychat.
  • Click on ‘Broadcasting’ on the left.
  • Scroll down to ‘History’ and find the chatbot that was sent yesterday. (Ignore the ones that say ‘YouTube Post’.)
  • Under ‘Sent’ you’ll see a number. Put that in the ‘Total Sent’ column.
  • Under ‘Read(%)’ you’ll see a number with a percentage in brackets.
