Product · Send · Capture

A question that fills a field.

Ask a question in a broadcast and the answer writes onto every contact who replies. Free text captures verbatim. A constrained question captures a choice. Point it at a field you have, or name one inline and it mints on send.

The problem

A campaign asks a question by text and gets back two thousand replies nobody has time to read. The answer was data, and it died as a conversation.

How it works

How Capture works.

1

Mark the message as a question

A composer tool points the send at a field. The composer then states what it captures into, the field name, the options or free text, and whether the field is new.

2

The reply reads into the field

A required target makes no new column. A named target that doesn’t exist yet mints one on send. Either way the answer lands on the record, not in a pile of replies someone has to sort.

3

The blanks are the next send

Ask two thousand, six hundred answer. The blank count is a re-ask segment on its own. The question builds its own follow-up.

Why it matters

What you actually get.

A reply becomes a fact

Free text on a record is a note. A captured answer is a field, and a field is something a segment can read. That’s the difference between a conversation and a database.

Thirteen locked, the rest yours

Name, phone, email, consent, stage, party, address, city, state, ZIP, district, risk. The required spine never renames or deletes, so a segment built on District means the same thing on every account. Custom fields sit beside them, defined once by an Owner.

Every answer is a segment

Ask which issue matters most and each option becomes an audience. The schools answer gets the schools message. Nobody exports anything.

The fourth door

Keyword, pledge page, QR, and now capture. A send that asks is a send that learns, and the field it fills carries its provenance, the question, the send, the date.

One honest note.

Capture writes into the field registry today, and the field, the options, and the blank count are real in this build against seeded contacts. Live, the reply router reads the inbound message against the target field, mints a named field that doesn’t exist yet, and files the answer with the send that asked it.

Questions

Asked and answered.

What is Capture?

A composer tool that marks a message as a question and points it at a field. Free text captures verbatim, a constrained question captures a choice, and the answer writes onto the contact record instead of dying in a reply pile.

Can a capture question create a new field?

Yes. Name a field inline and it mints on send. Point at one of the thirteen locked required fields and no new column appears. Either way the field carries its provenance, the question, the send, and the date.

What happens to the people who never answer?

The blank count is a re-ask segment on its own. Ask two thousand, six hundred answer, and the fourteen hundred blanks become the next send. The question builds its own follow-up.
