Tips
- Prepare all the campaign text content in a text document. Then copy and paste the content over to Spaaza Console. This way it’s easier to keep track of changes.
- Open multiple browser sessions at the same time to make working with console easier. You can do this by creating a second browser window but putting that window in incognito mode. Then you can put both browser windows side by side and start editing.
- Use the pull-to-refresh feature of the corresponding screen in the mobile app where you made content changes in console to refresh the mobile app’s page.
- When running a new type of campaign test them out in Spaaza’s Staging console environment and staging mobile app first.
