# How to Start a Manual Campaign in Bullseye Pro

## This guide walks you through the process of manually starting a campaign in Bullseye Pro, particularly useful in cases where API limitations prevent automated triggers.

**Audience:** Users, CSMs  
**Author:** Adam Dye  
**Purpose:** To guide team members or Clients in walking clients through the process of manually starting an **Open Estimate Campaign** in Bullseye Pro, especially when CRM/API limitations prevent automation.

#### **Overview**

Due to API limitations, some clients cannot auto-trigger estimate campaigns. To resolve this, Bullseye Pro offers a simple manual tagging solution that kicks off the process with a predefined message flow.

This article walks you through:

- How the Open Estimate campaign is structured
- How to trigger it manually using a tag
- Customization options for messaging and timing

#### **Example Campaign Workflow Summary**

When a custom TAG (Decided by you or your CSM) is applied to a contact:

1. The first message is sent in the workflow: Lets use an open estimate as an example:
   
     - *“Hi, this is \[Agent Name\] with \[LocationName\]. Thank you for visiting with us today. Let us know if you have any questions about your estimate.”*
     - Message timing can be customized if the tag is applied after the day of the visit.
2. The system waits for a Yes/No response:
   
     - **Yes** ➝ Notifies the team to jump into the conversation.
     - **No** ➝ Sends a follow-up message:
       
           - *“Please don't hesitate to contact us if you do. Have a wonderful day.”*
           - This message is customizable based on client preference.
3. If there’s no response:
   
     - Add automated follow-ups (e.g., after 5, 10, or more days) as needed.

---

#### **How to Manually Start the Campaign**

1. **Go to the Contacts section** in Bullseye Pro.
2. **Search and select the contact** you want to add to the campaign.
3. On the **left-hand side**, find the **Tags** section.
4. **Add the "Start Estimate" tag**. or whatever you have created to trigger the campaign launch. 
   
     - ⚠️ *This will trigger the campaign (once it's published).*
5. The system will **automatically** launch the associated campaign messaging.

---

#### **Customization Options**

- The timing between follow-up messages is flexible.
  
    - Examples:
      
          - Some clients prefer: Day 2 ➝ Day 5 ➝ Day 14
          - Others prefer: Day 5 ➝ Day 20 ➝ Day 30
- Verbiage in messages can be tailored to match timing and tone preferences.
- All campaign logic is built and managed **within Bullseye Pro**.
  
    - ❗**Note:** Tags must be applied inside Bullseye Pro—not your external CRM. Tags from CRMs are not synced.

---

#### **Next Steps**

Once other core campaigns (like **Review Requests** and **Speed to Lead**) are live, we recommend to:

- Utilize this manual start process to launch targeted messages to your customers.
- Collect feedback on timing and message preferences in order for your future campaigns to have success.
- Update the campaign logic based on their needs.

#### ✅ Final Reminders

| Task | Action Required |
| --- | --- |
| Start Campaign | Add `start_estimate` tag inside Bullseye Pro inside the contact. |
| CRM Tagging | ❌ Not supported — must be done in BEP manually |
| Custom Timing Requests | Let your CSM know, and we will help to configure these for you. |
| AI Bot Edits (if used) | Not applicable to manual campaigns |
| STOP Campaign | Same process, Just add the `end_estimate`tag inside Bullseye Pro inside the contact. |

#### 📞 Need Help?

If you or the client have any questions:

- Reach out to your **BEP specialist**
- Customize timing and messaging with help from the support team
