Creating Campaigns

Details on how to create campaigns in the Sodyo Content Management System (CMS)

A campaign is content that has been published and assigned a Sodyo tag. A campaign can be scanned by users to receive the content associated with the campaign.

Creating a Campaign

Step 1: Navigate to https://cms.sodyo.com and sign in. Click the campaign module in the navigation menu. The campaign module is displayed.

Initially, the campaigns grid is empty as no campaigns have been created as of yet.

Step 2: Click the add new campaign button at the top right of the screen. The campaign editor is displayed.

If you do not have a paid plan with Sodyo, when clicking the create new campaign button the following message will be displayed.

This message indicates that the user has reached the campaign limit and can either start a free 30 day trial or upgrade the current plan.

To start a trial, click the start trial period link in the message. Your trial period will be started and will be indicated with a yellow bar on top of the CMS window as shown below. The yellow bar will indicate how long before the trail period expires. Sodyo will also provide e-mail notifications to indicate expiry of the trial period.

Note that each user can only utilize one trial period.
