How do I add content to my course?
Let's start by adding a lesson to the course.
Show available content by clicking on content to toggle arrow to display your content possibilities. Lessons is first on the list, so we'll start there.
Assuming you have built your lessons for this campaign, click and drag lesson the the content stage. At this point the lesson "card" is marked as an incomplete draft:
Click anywhere on the card to get into the scheduling zone
On the left panel (scheduling) you can:
Name your lesson - this is a name your audience will see it as in the list
Choose when it should release as dripped content or select a specific date Learn more about scheduling content >>
Select the order in which it should appear (particularly if there will be more than one lesson at this date/time)
Determine if the lesson needs to expire (just leave this alone if there is no expiration)
AND you can even apply this lesson to only certain contacts if they meet certain conditions. Use this sparingly because it limits who will see this lesson.
On the right side (lesson components and alerts) you can :
Select/Change/Edit your lesson
Select an image related to this lesson, upload your own or grab one from the gallery
Set your alerts and messages to let your audience know they have content they can engage with. You can use text messaging, email, or both!
