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
Navigate to Main Menu > Campaigns > Campaign Settings > Invite Tools.
Locate the "Sign Up Hashtag" section.
Choose a simple, one-word hashtag (avoid spaces. Hyphens are allowed).
Ensure your welcome messages are set up in Campaign Settings > Registration & Confirmation.

Example Scenario

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.
