Campaigns

A campaign chains several messages around a date: a teaser, the announcement, a follow-up. Each one goes out on its own at its due time, in a channel or as a direct message.

Following your campaigns

Every campaign gets a card, with its status:

Status	Meaning
Brouillon	Nothing is scheduled. This is the only editable state.
Planifiée	Launched: the sends will go out at their due time.
En cours	At least one step has been sent.
Terminée	Every step has gone out.
Annulée	Stopped along the way; messages already posted stay in place.

The card shows how many steps were sent, the pivot date, the partner servers targeted, then the step timeline: offset, delivery mode and the start of the message, with the number of recipients served and failures for those already sent.

On a running or completed campaign, four figures are computed: Envoyés, Échecs, Réactions and Arrivées.

Creating a campaign

The Nouvelle campagne button opens an editor in four blocks: what you say, to whom, and how you will know whether it worked.

General

Nom of the campaign.
Date pivot (jour J): the date every offset is counted from.
Description interne: seen by the staff only.

Steps

A step is one message and its moment. The Décalage (min) is counted in minutes from the pivot date, and it accepts negatives: −10080 min places the step one week before D-day. The timeline spells that offset out (J−7 j, Jour J, J+2 h).

Every step picks its Diffusion:

Dans un salon: the message is posted in the chosen channel.
En message privé: the message is sent to the computed audience by DM.

In the text, {server} is replaced by the server name, and {user} by the recipient in direct messages.

Audience

The criteria stack, and they only apply to direct message steps: a channel message is seen by everyone with access to it.

Rôles visés and Rôles exclus.
Niveau minimum, Ancienneté (jours), Inactif depuis (jours).

The Compter button shows how many members match and a few names, without sending anything.

Measurement & partners

Code d’invitation à créditer: joins that went through this code since the pivot date are counted as conversions. Without it, no join can be attributed to the campaign, and the Arrivées figure stays empty.
Diffuser aussi sur (IDs de serveurs): partner servers where Kotbo is present. Channel steps are posted there if a channel with the same ID exists; unreachable servers count as failures.

Launching, cancelling, deleting

The Lancer button asks for confirmation, recalling the number of steps and, if any, those going out as direct messages.

Annuler stops a scheduled or running campaign. It can then be moved back to draft with Repasser en brouillon.
Supprimer erases the campaign and its measurements. Messages already posted stay in your channels.
