Launch Engagements

The Launch Engagement tab in Ushur Studio empowers users to initiate tailored engagements with selected groups or individuals. It offers a user-friendly interface for choosing workflows, and communication channels, scheduling a launch, and managing recipient groups. With the ability to build a list of target recipients and launch or schedule the engagement, this feature simplifies the process of sending out targeted communications from a central hub.

To launch an engagement follow the steps mentioned below:

1. From the left pane, navigate to Automation > Launchpad to view the page.

   

2. On the Launchpad page, select the Launch tab.

3. In the Ready to Launch panel, select the Workflow from the drop-down. Only the published workflows will be displayed under their respective project name. The drop-down displays the active legacy workflows as well.

   

4. From the Channel drop-down, select the channel through which the engagement will be launched:

   • Text (SMS)

   • Voice

   • WhatsApp

Note

To enable Voice and WhatsApp channels, contact your Customer Support Manager.

5. From the Group drop-down, select the group you wish to send the engagement. This will display all the contact details of the group on the right pane in a tabular column:

   

   • Name

   • Number

   • Email

   • Address

   • Group

6. To avoid sending the engagement to particular contacts within the group, use the checkbox to select the contacts and click Remove recipient.

   

Note

You can send the engagement to a maximum of 2500 contacts at a particular time. If there are more contacts, an error message in red will be displayed. All these options are captured in the screen below.

7. To change the contact group from the currently selected group, select the applicable group from the Group drop-down and click Replace in the confirmation dialog box.
