Rock U - Additional Engagement - Interactive Experiences

Transcribed Video Content

A live poll on the big screen, a prayer wall that fills in real time, or a question that people answer straight from their phones. These are all things that you can do with the interactive experiences feature and you can turn a passive audience into a two way engagement. So to get started with interactive experiences, head to tools, down to interactive experiences, click into that, and we're gonna click on experience administration. Now out of the box, the weekend service experience will be shown to you and there's a couple actions on that. Then I've created a new one here and just done some custom theming so you can see just how far you can extend to these experiences. Something to note is that if an experience is live, you can pull it up pretty easily from here. The open experience manager option will be available to you. But let's click on the experience and we're gonna edit it and step through this. So the name here, pretty simple. This isn't a great example. Then description and public label. These are important when you have multiple experiences running at once and people are picking between them. You'll wanna make sure these are descriptive. You can also add an experience photo, and this is something you can use Lava to display, but it won't show up anywhere out of the box. Then if you want to combine this with a Rock mobile application, if you have one, it's a really nice thing you can do. You can actually send push notifications for actions, which you'll see what these actions are soon, but you can pick if it happens never for every action or just specific actions. You can pick what the title is and even the detail using lava of that push notification. Then schedules, this is important. This is when the experience actually goes live and you can pick whether for campus you filter schedules by campus geofences or you determine the campus from a geofence. And these geofences are just something that are on the actual campus that you set up in Rock and it defines the boundaries of your campus on a map. Or you can just use the individual's campus tied to their profile. And you can pick a default campus too, and you can easily add a schedule. You can have multiple, especially if this experience you're gonna be using again and again, but we'll edit what we already have. I simply have a schedule running today for twelve hours one time, though you can make it recurring, and the experience will show up thirty minutes before the start. You can pick what shows up before the experience actually starts. I'll show you how to edit that soon. Then you can filter and limit who will see experiences on the list And you can do it by campus, by even a data view or a group. So you can get super specific about who can see this. An example of when you'd have filters is if you have a similar experience, but you want to run it at multiple campuses and maybe it's at different times, but on the same day, for example, if you're a multi campus church, then you would want to do filters this. But we've got our schedule set up. Now before the experience starts, which we set up thirty minutes beforehand, you can pick the content that shows up then and a header image. Same with when you're between actions being shown, you can show, this content. And here is where you can really tailor and theme. So we make it easy for you to pick a nice color palette that you want to display for the background color, text, buttons, and more. Then you can even pick a background image. Or if you have CSS knowledge, you can really, really tailor what this experience looks . And right here, this is the action appearance. We can also pick with lava what shows up when the experience has ended. Now you can in the same way as you theme the actions that show up on the board, you can theme what the audience sees on their phones, for example, when they're going through this experience. But we're gonna save this and actions. So this is what actually shows up and it's the stuff that you're engaging with during this experience. You can easily reorder these once you add them to pick the order of how they show up on the screen. But when you add one, there's four action types. Embed web page allows you to straight up place a web page within the experience that you can engage with. Long answer, you can add a question. The attendees can answer the question with multiple lines of text. Then you can pick whether these answers need to be moderated. I'll show you what that how that can be done later. You can allow multiple submissions if you want people to answer multiple times. You can pick whether the responses will show up anonymously, and you can pick a visual between a bar chart and word cloud. I'll show you both of those in a moment. Short answer is pretty similar to long answer, but the attendees can only answer on one line of text. Then pull, you can pick multiple answers that people select between, you can pick whether they can allow multiple submissions, and then again we can pick a response visual. But we've got some things set up here. Click into one of these, for example, the poll we have many answers, you can do multiple submissions. And we've actually used a semicolon delimited list to show the colors that we want to pop up for this bar chart. And we've been really specific. We want this to be a vertical bar chart with a border width of two, fill opacity. You can really theme this. But let's actually get into the experience. So we'll go back to interactive experiences and click on the experience manager. Now we have this running actually, and we can see when we first show up, it says welcome to Rock Solid Church. This hasn't started just yet, but we can start managing the experience. So let's head over to our view here where I'm actually showing what would be up on the big screen and a phone, for example. And if I go to the block here, it's simply just the experience visualizer. But I'm gonna head back and I'm just gonna be flipping back and forth to show you how we moderate. And I've clicked this. Now the first action is actually gonna pop up and you can interact with it in the same way as an attendee would here so you can see what it looks the question is being asked. And now that we flip over, we actually already had a response filled out, but this is what it looks for the attendee. They can pick an option and submit. And we already submitted an answer, we can't submit multiple, another one here, but you can see that it popped up on this bar chart and this will all show up live. Then let's head back here and we'll flip to the next action. We'll come back and we can say which part of today's message will carry you into this week. You and say daily prayer, submit, and you see that shows up live. Then this one allows multiple submissions. You can see that there's different colors we've set up for these, and we'll head to the next action. Come back here. And in one word, what are you hoping God does in you this year? Say peace, patience, and this is a word cloud by the way. So what that means is if one thing is entered multiple times, it'll start to get bigger and we'll just simulate that here and things just move around on the screen. Imagine a lot more people entering values at once, this would change faster and just have a cool effect. Then we'll head back here. We'll go to the last one, which is a long answer. And we'll come back and let's say, tell us about the time this year when God came through for you. Last week, we'll say, and just to show you that line breaks work, hit return a couple times. God helped me with a tough situation. We'll submit it, and you'll notice nothing showed up here. And in this case, the long answer is tailored towards something that the pastor could pull up on an iPad or something that and view responses live. But we have moderation set up for that. So if we go to the moderation tab here of the experience manager, we can filter through all these responses. We can even filter by campus. And a lot of these were auto approved, all those word cloud things, though you can remove it if you want or delete it. You can unapprove it basically. Then here we have that long answer we just submitted. And if we want to say that it's approved actually, before I do that, I'm gonna show you here. If we go to live questions and we go through to this question, this is an example of what the pastor would see. Nothing shows up here, but if we say yes and we approve this question, now it pops up for the pastor. So this is a great way for someone that is ready to experience or manage this experience live to handle, to handle your interactive experience. But we're gonna head back here. If you go to enter or experience questions, this is something that you could have pulled up for a pastor, and they can simply click through as the experience is happening. And it's a really nice simple page where they can deal with a Q and A or they can see what people are saying in response to a word cloud. You can see people's responses to all of these different actions. Interactive experiences give your audience a voice without having to hand out paper. Start with one poll and build from there as your team gets comfortable.
