774861 - [Web Dev] SMS page on Mozilla.org front end implementation

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Winston Bowden]

Attachment: SMS mobile funnel

We're working on adding SMS as a channel.  We want to discuss the possibility of including a functional snippet on about:home that allows a user to text themselves a link to download Firefox for Android.  

We'll be using ExactTarget.  Some code samples here:
http://docs.code.exacttarget.com/020_Web_Service_Guide/Technical_Articles/SMS_API_Scenario_Guide

Proposed flow is attached.  There are two methods we'd like to develop.  A functional snippet and then a landing page that we'll use for various promotions including a text link snippet.  

We're still in the process of finalizing legal, privacy and security.  For now, this is just a placeholder bug.  But would like to get it on the radar and make sure it's prioritized.  

Our goal is to have this up and running mid-late August.

Hi Winston.

I love this idea and I think it has the potential to be very successful. Can you fill out our project request form to help gather more info about the needs and goals?

Thanks!

We're going to start off with a landing page vs an actual snippet.  But the snippet will link to the page.  Design for this will be completed by Friday.  Can we start implementation soon after the design is delivered?

Creative has finished the landing page design for the SMS channel.  The complete flow we'll be trying to achieve can be referenced in the gdoc below. See slides 9-14.

Lee Tom posted the PSD here.  The different states of the page are reflected in the Content folder of the PSD.  I’ve copied Lee on the bug so let him know if you have questions.

implementation note - this page should only display for U.S. users.

Here is a JavaScript solution on how to show this content for en-US and show a link to the play store for everyone else:

Edit: I meant we could use the JavaScript library or even the Python one to show the content to people in the United States and then a link to the play store if they are not. (I didn't mean to say en-US)

Thanks, Chris.  Would this require sec/privacy reviews?

Let's not do geolocation for this release and just have a statement on the page that it only works for US-based phone numbers. Depending on the success of this test, we'll decide if we want to do it in the future.

That works. We are going to need to edit the design of the first page of the funnel.  Working with Lee Tom/Brand on that.  Should be a minor change.

Comment 11

[Winston Bowden]

Note - Lee is working on the adjustments to the landing base to split out U.S. vs non-U.S. traffic.  We should have the changes finalized on Monday.

Breaking out tasks and making this bug front-end. Will file separate for back-end.

Attachment: Confirmed State, SMS campaign feature

One thing that wasn't included in the original request was the addition of a sharing feature on the "message sent" state of this page. This would allow users to share on FB/tweet after they have downloaded firefox for android. (see attached)

As I'm new here, I don't have the greatest insight into the current feasibility of this feature request. But it seems that this feature has already been covered here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723761. Hopefully we're ready to go. 

Here are the details for Facebook and Twitter:

Facebook: 
--Instruction for publishing to a user's profile feed can be found here (at least, I believe it can be)ozi: http://bit.ly/Pp5bkz
--Facebook requires three different fields (Name, Caption, Description). The copy will be as follows
   1) Name: Get Firefox for Android
   2) Caption:Fast. Smart. Safe. Download Firefox for Android. 
   3) Description: Just downloaded Firefox for Android. I entered my mobile number & got a text with a link. So easy to get a better browser! 

Twitter: 
"I Just downloaded Firefox for Android. I entered my mobile number & got a text with a link. So easy to get a better browser! <page link>"

Please let me know if there are any problems with my explanation, or if there are/were any blockers for implementing this new social feature.
