The video below shows another way to get to a new keyword/autoreply campaign page. However, once you are there, the create process is the same.
How to work with this page
There are four sections in this page.
SECTION 1
If you DO NOT have an existing group already created for this campaign, type in the group name on the data line.
Alternatively, click the purple Select an Existing Group if you have already created a group for this campaign. The screen will refresh to the image below.
Note...
 | Only groups which have NOT already been set up with a keyword will appear in the dropdown menu |
After choosing your group, the page will refresh, so you can continue with the remaining three sections.
SECTION 2
Step 1
Toggle on the Add Keyword(s) button (turquoise box below). Notice that two new options appear.
Step 2: LOCAL NUMBERS
If you wish to have this option when using local, 10-digit numbers, toggle on this button (brown box in image above).
Step 3: SHORT CODE (77411)
If you wish to have this option when using the PastorsLine shared shortcode, toggle on this button (gold box in image above).
***NOTE: Toggling on Local Numbers and/or Short Code causes new fields to appear. Let's look at those.

If you want to connect this keyword/auto-reply to a data capture campaign, click Save & Collect More Data.
***If you do this, PastorsLine will show the connection in this way: At the right-hand end of the detail line, we will show the data capture your Keyword/Autoreply is linked to (turquoise box and arrow in image below). Editing your campaign is done from the linked data capture. To get there, just click on the URL (see the purple link inside the turquoise box).
