Do you want to see exactly how your messages will show up on people’s phones? Are you curious how people in your church are experiencing Gloo? The Texting Simulator is a great tool to test out every function of Gloo for yourself!
Test how people will experience texting with you
Navigate to Messaging and under Tools click the Texting Simulator.
Use the phone icon to text in and see how someone from your church will experience texting you. Type out any message and the simulator will take you through the onboarding process someone experiences the first time they text in.
Try it out by texting one of the keywords given on the simulor, asking a question, submitting a prayer request, or saying anything else you can think of! You can always set up additional keywords.
Note: Interactions in the simulator are not recorded in your Gloo account. The texting simulator will not actually record any prayer requests, unresolved messages, or interactions from this Demo.
Note: Workflows cannot be tested in the simulator. If you type in the keyword associated with a Workflow, you will get a message telling you that they cannot be tested here. To test your workflows, try texting the corresponding keyword into Gloo from your phone!
Test Broadcasts before you send them
Write a broadcast to see how it will look when people receive it. Simply type out your broadcast and watch it show up in the phone icon!
Note: When testing Broadcasts in the simulator, personalizations will not work. If you have a personalization set up in a Quick Response or Survey, the personalization will only work after you complete the onboarding process in the simulator. Otherwise, Gloo will simply leave a blank space where the personalization should appear.
