Attracting people to reel
Hello! This is for the reel creators. Attracting new people to the matchmaking reel of your community may be challenging but it's worth it!
Here we will tell how Mate Bot can help you to draw more people at your reel. In the first place you can access these options from reel's Admin panel.
Inviting people
The first basic option is to send a direct invitation to your group.
Mate Bot has an inline mode to compose such message with a special layout.
The difference is that
You can see an example on the screen below:
To use inline mode just open any chat and start typing "@WaveMateBot" with some text. You will see the inline options to choose from over the text field.
Three options for your choice:
1) Member template. Default invitation from the view of a community member who tried Mate Bot.
2) Admin template. Default invitation from the view of an admin/owner, who added Mate Bot to group.
While templates are simple to use, they may not fit to every group. That's why there is a custom invitation option.
3) Custom invitation. In the inline mode type your message after "@WaveMateBot" and choose Send this message. Important: custom message cannot be longer than 256 symbols.
Feature member
Second way to attract people is to feature a member. This is a healthy and entertaining option for your community. Mate Bot can send the intro of one of reel members to the group with a greeting description. It is sort of a spotlight for your community members: others see what person is here and can say "Hi!".
You can go through featuring steps from Reel admin panel of your reel. Sequence is following: bot randomly chooses the person, you approve, bot sends proposal message to this member. Then, if member gives consent to be featured, you get the confirmation from bot. Finally, you tap "Send featuring message" and bot sends featured member's name + intro to group.
Here is how featured member message looks like:
Conclusion
These were the options to attract members of your group to the Mate Bot reel.
Direct invitation to group works better when you address new members or unfamiliar audience.
Featured member is a positive activity which the Mate Bot can bring to your group. Use it to encourage the community to open up and connect with each other.
And remember - different people perceive new things with different speed and attitude. It's alright if only few members joined the reel after your first invitation. Give others time, be positively persistent and connected community will grow!
