Print block

Paper and digital communication in one place? Who would have thought...  Catch up on our articles on Print template and Print campaign to know what we are talking about here.

• From the Flow block library, drag & drop the Print block to the Flow canvas.
• Hover over the block to see the settings and delete button.
• Click on the settings button. 

Print settings

In the settings you can:

• Browse for an already created print campaign and click Copy to Flow. 
• Make one from a published print template by clicking Use.
  • Personalize this template.
  • When you are done save it and click I'm done, select this campaign to use it in a Flow.
• If you change your mind, swap the print or edit it. 

The contacts connected to this print block will receive this print communication.

Note: Make sure that in the selected Print campaign the PDF receiver field is not empty. 

Connection types

You can connect print blocks with other blocks. 

• Choose the type of connection.

There are two types of Print block connections: 

• onSend - when the Print document is sent to the PDF receiver the contacts move onto the other connected block.
  Note: In Flow, when a contact arrives to the Print block, a PDF will not be immediately sent to the print receiver. Instead, Loopify would wait for the day to gather all contacts that arrive to the block, and the print receiver will be receiving the email at midnight with all the contacts from that day. This is to prevent receiving hundreds of emails (per each contact) and instead just receive one.
• onLinkFollowed - when a short link from your print document is opened i.e. typed in a browser, the contacts move onto the other connected block.

Tab reports

The summary of the tab reports can be previewed after activating the flow campaign. In an active flow, hover over the block, click the settings button and access the Print block reports through the reports tab. Here you can see the data about the total number of sent print campaigns.

Tip: The full Print reports can be accessed by hovering the block and clicking the reports button or through the reports tab within the block reports.

If you wish to see the generated data from the whole account go to the Loopify Dashboard → Reports.
Here are the General reports that contain data from all communication over time. 

Now you can send Print documents via Flow whenever you want👏👏👏. Print is obviously not the only communication that can be sent. So why not read about the Email block and SMS block? Feel free to devour them.
