Viber element in Automation 360
In SendPulse's Automation 360, you can add a Viber element to send service messages, for example, about order confirmation and status, delivery of goods, or debiting or crediting bonuses.
Add an element
Drag the Viber element to the flow. Connect it to the element after which you need to send the message.
You can also change your element name to differentiate between elements. Click the Element name option, and enter your new name in the field.
Specify your sending time
Select the time at which you want to send the message. You can choose Right away to send the message immediately, After to delay the sending time, or Exact time to set the time yourself.
Read more about block execution conditions in the article: Element (Block) Execution Time.
Select a sender
Select the sender on whose behalf users receive messages.
Add a message template
Select a message template. The selected template must have the Active status.
Please note that you can only choose a template to send service messages. The message template will be sent in its original form with variables filled in.
Select variables from the list.
If in the Flow start element you have selected Add subscriber, Special date, Contact webhook, or Change variable, then they will be filled in from the specified mailing list.
If in the Flow start element, you have selected Create a deal or Change deal stage, then the variables with the _deal suffix will be filled in from the fields in the selected CRM pipeline.
If you chose to start the flow by event, then the variables will be filled in from the body of the event that the contact sends, or from the body of the event and the mailing list, if the mailing list is selected (if there is a contact in that mailing list).
Set up a message lifetime
Set the message lifetime — the period during which the service will try to deliver your message to subscribers who were unavailable at the time of sending. The minimum message lifetime is one minute, and the maximum is 24 hours.
You can also add the Condition element and track the Delivered event to branch the flow script depending on the delivery status. For example, if the message was not delivered to the user via Viber, you can send an SMS. To do this, add the SMS element to the No branch.
