Create a new Link Stream
When you're logged into your Ombea account, you can create a new Link Stream in just a few simple steps.
Add your question and content blocks
Click Streams in the menu -> Click the + button -> Select Stream -> Select Link
To interact with your respondents using Ombea, you can fill your Stream with questions and content blocks. As you will discover, we've already created your first block, to add additional blocks simply click on + ADD NEW BLOCK.
To define your block select the type. You can choose any of the following:
- Smiley
- NPS
- Multiple Choice
- Picture Choice
- Free Text
- Break
Depending on your selection you would have some additional options.
The last exit block is mandatory and designed to thank your respondents for their input and let them know about any next steps.
Distribute your Stream
Click Next or the **Distribution **tab and follow the steps.
Add shortcuts to your Stream
In case you have mutiple Streams associated with the same link you can create direct links to this Stream by adding shortcuts. These shortcuts will bypass the Stream selection page. Your Stream will be directly accessed by appending the shortcut to the end of the link. E.g. if your link is https://acme.ombea.com and your shortcut to your Stream is abc the direct link to this Stream would be https://acme.ombea.com/abc.
Click the field under Add shortcuts to this Stream to add a shortcut.
Add shortcuts to your Touchpoints
In case you have mutiple Touchpoints associated with a Stream you can create a direct link to a particular Touchpoint by adding a shortcut. This shortcut will bypass the Location selection page. The Stream for a Touchpoint will be directly accessed by appending the shortcut to the end of the link. E.g. if your link is https://acme.ombea.com and your shortcut to a Touchpoint is 123 the direct link to the Streams for this Touchpoint would be https://acme.ombea.com/123.
To add a shortcut to a Touchpoint follow the steps here.
Congratulations!
Your Stream is now ready! Depending on the start and end times you defined, you can access it by visiting the web address you chose to publish it on. The results will appear in your dashboard.
