What You Can Add to a Text Message
Want to send a text that includes an image, audio file, pdf or video? Follow along with the video below to see exactly how it's done!
🎥 Video Tutorial:
Creating a Text
From your VipeCloud account, click the green Send Text button at the top of almost any page to open a text conversation box.
Tip: These same options are available in the VipeCloud mobile app, although the layout looks slightly different, click the + (plus) icon in the lower-left corner of the conversation box to access all of the items you can insert into your message.
Add a Merge Tag
Personalize your text messages by inserting merge tags.
Click the Merge Tag icon (it looks like a small price tag).
Choose the field you'd like to insert, such as %First_Name%.
When your text is sent, each recipient will see their own information automatically inserted.
Insert an Image
Click the Insert Image icon.
If your image has already been uploaded, simply select it.
If not, click Add Content to upload a new image from your computer or device.
Once selected, you'll see an image preview in your message, confirming it has been added successfully.
Insert a Video
Click the Insert Video (film strip) icon.
Select an existing uploaded video, or
Click Add Content to upload a new video.
Instead of displaying the video itself, VipeCloud inserts a link into your text message.
Important: Do not delete this link. It is what your recipients will click to watch the video.
Insert a PDF or Other Attachment
Need to send a flyer, Look Book, or PDF?
Click Insert Attachment (paperclip icon) to add your document.
Attachments are inserted into the message as a link.
Send a voice memo or audio file
Click the Insert Audio icon to:
Upload an existing audio file, or
Record a new audio message.
Like videos and PDFs, audio files are shared using a link.
Add Emojis
If you're working from a computer, you can easily add emojis by clicking the Emoji icon and selecting the one you'd like to include.
Send or Schedule Your Message
Once your message is complete:
Review your message and recipients.
Choose to Send immediately or Schedule it for a future date and time.
You're all set!
