What Kind Of Buttons Can I Create?

The only limit is your imagination. But here are a few examples to get you started:

Schedule Service - Send customers directly to your V8 Scheduler form or Contact Us page so they can set up an appointment.

Bill Pay - Provide a direct link for customers to pay their bill.

Careers - Hiring? Send inquiring minds straight to your online application.

Phone Number - If they’re on their phone, one tap and they’re automatically calling you.

This is just a taste of what you can do with LaunchSMS FAQs. Need additional ideas? Contact your CSM at 919-758-8420 and they can help!

LaunchSMS FAQ Best Practices

Here are some general tips for getting the most out of your LaunchSMS FAQs:

• Try and limit the number of custom FAQs you use to 4 (though there is currently no limit to the number you can create).
• Make button names short, snappy and to the point.
• Enter in complete URLs (example: https://www.domainname.com/jobs/apply/)
• When possible, link clients to pages on your website - keep them on your page! However, there are circumstances (encouraging customers to leave a review or pay their bill) that might require external linking.
