Creating a Carousel Template

A Carousel template allows you to showcase multiple products or services in an interactive, horizontal scrollable view, requiring a minimum of two cards.

Step 1: Select Carousel Message Type

• In the Add Template screen, under Message Type, select Carousel (highlighted).

• The interface will update to show an Add Cards button.
  

  

Step 2: Add and Configure Cards

1. Click the + Add Card button.

2. You can add multiple cards (e.g., Card 1, Card 2).

3. For each card:

• • Header type: Select Image or Video to feature media prominently.

  • Body: Enter the descriptive text for the item featured in the card (e.g., Upto 70% OFF in Women's Wear...).

  • Add Button: Click + Button to add an interactive Call-to-Action (CTA).

  • Action Type: Select a button action, such as Visit website, Quick Reply, or Phone Number.

  • Button Text: Enter the visible text on the button (e.g., Shop Now).

Step3: Using DynamicFor URLs for Click Tracking

You can use Dynamic URLs to track which specific customers clicked a link within your campaign, improving campaign analytics.

1. When configuring a Visit website button, select the Dynamic URL type.
   

   

2. Click the search/placeholder icon next to the URL field.

3. In the pop-up, paste your base URL.

4. Click Shorten Url if your platform's tracking requires it. 

5.  After shortening, you will see a unique placeholder (e.g., {{1}} for a merge tag) appended to the shortened URL (e.g., bll.in/GcUc{{1}}). This placeholder is typically for a Customer ID (CID) or similar tracking variable.

6. Click Apply. The resulting URL in the button configuration will contain the tracking placeholder.
   

      
   

   
   

Step 4: Save the Template

1. Review all the entered information, especially the message body and merge tags.

2. Click the Save button to finalize and store your SMS template.
