Rock U - Additional Engagement - Interactive Experiences

Transcribed Video Content

With interactive experiences, attendees can engage directly with the content by responding to questions or answering polls. And if you want, the pastor and the attendees, can see the results of those answers coming in in real time. Let's take a look at how it works. We're gonna start by looking at how to configure an interactive experience, and then we'll see how the experiences will look based on that configuration. So first, we need to build the framework for the experience. This includes creating the experience itself and configuring actions, which we'll look at in a minute. Okay. So to start, we're gonna navigate to tools and then interactive experiences under the website category. From here, we're gonna go ahead and click on experience administration. And as you can see, we've already got one set up here. So let's take a look at weekend services. And I'm gonna go ahead and edit this so that we can look at, how how it's set up. And so first, of course, you have the name. You'll wanna make sure that it's active and you'll wanna give it a a good description. Then there's the public label. And people will see that, particularly when there are multiple experiences happening at once and the person needs to choose which one they want. The experience photo over here to the right is optional. By itself, it doesn't do anything, but it's here so that you can use it, , via Lava when you're displaying information about the experience on your public website, for example. Then we have down here the push notification configuration. When you start a new action, sending out a poll, you can choose to send push notifications to your Rock mobile app. Moving down, we have schedules. As you can see, schedules determine when and where the experience occurs. You can also use things data views or groups to determine who should be allowed to view an experience. Then below that, we have, some welcome content and also some no actions content. The welcome content is what people will see on their phones before the interactive experience starts. The no actions content is similar, but it shows up between actions. And as we continue to move down here, there are settings for action appearance. And this essentially lets you create a custom theme for actions, when they appear on people's phones using your Rock mobile app. And then down here at the bottom, we have, experience ended. And this is simply what people will see after the experience has ended. It's a Lava template, and you can put whatever you in there. But the last thing here is audience appearance. And these settings are similar to the action appearance, and they allow you to create a kind of a custom theme for the screens that show people's responses to questions or polls, which you can project during a service for everyone to see. Okay. So if we go back here, below our weekend services configuration, we have actions for weekend services. This is our list of actions. Actions are the real meat interactive experiences. This is where you'll craft the questions and polls that people will see on their phones and can respond to. So if we were to add an action to this list, which which we can do here, the first thing we need to do is select an action type. And there's three different types of actions. The first is embed web page. And this is the Swiss army knife of interactive experiences. It's simple but very powerful. By taking a person to a web page, you can show them documents, launch a workflow, or anything else that you can put onto a web page. So there's lots of opportunities here. Then next, we have poll. And the poll is is just a question where people choose their answers from a predefined, list of options. And then lastly, we have short answer, which lets people write a response in their own words. Let's go ahead and take a look at a configured example of an action, and we're gonna do that by clicking the pencil icon. And you can see that this is a poll, and we have the question here that we're asking in the poll and then our list of predefined answers that, people can choose from. You also have options to allow multiple submissions, which is exactly what it sounds . It's just whether or not the same person can answer more than once. And you can also make the responses anonymous, if you . Next, you have the response visual, which is a bar chart or a word cloud. And then you have the orientation for the bar chart, which is horizontal. And then you have colors. And this is a semi colon delimited list of colors, and that's for the bar chart what color the different bars will be to represent the different answers that people can give. And then you have a couple other options here for border width and fill opacity. Okay. So with our actions in place here, we're ready to check out the experience manager. And the experience manager is is the next page here under our menu of interactive experiences. And when we click on it, you can see that this is your central hub for running the experience during the event. This is where you control which actions are taken and when. First, we have the live event screen. This is where you'll go to send out the actions we just configured onto people's phones using your Rock mobile app. You can see how many people are participating at the top. This is a fake Rock instance, so right now it shows zero. And then below that, you can choose which action to send. And then to the right is a visualizer, and this is gonna show you what people see on their phones. Okay. So let's go ahead and click on an action. And when we do, you can see it appear in the visualizer. It changes accordingly. And keep in mind that the visualizer is interactive to the person kinda running the show here, which means you can make and submit choices here as well. And again, if we wanted to, we could make a selection here and go ahead and submit it. And it's submitted just anybody else in the audience would be able to do. Okay. Let's switch over to the moderation tab away from the live event tab. And under this tab, can review responses to questions live as they come in. And you can either approve or reject them based on their content. Then moving over to the right, have the live questions tab. And here you can see a list of responses to the selected action. Only responses that have been approved for those that require approval will appear here. One of the reasons you might want to view this page is to see what the pastor can see which we'll look at next. So we're gonna go ahead and click on the experience questions page. And this is a page that your pastor might have up on a tablet or some other device so that they can review and monitor responses as they come in. It's only for approved responses, for those that need approval, which we'll show here. Lastly, have the experience visualizer. And the visualizer is intended to be displayed during the service should you choose to do so, but you can use it however you want. This gives the audience a chance to see their responses displayed graphically in real time as answers are submitted. This is anonymous unlike the live questions tab that we saw earlier. We hope you found this helpful. Be sure and check out the designing and building websites using Rock guide for more information. And thanks for watching.
