Editorial Process (First Steps)
The Scope Content Suite supports you in publishing news feeds. This includes not only newsletters, but also updates for your website, your social media channels or the preparation of a publication that you can further process in your existing tools (CMS/CRM/newsletter tool etc.).
This Wiki article describes the first steps required to set up the Scope Content Suite. The login can be found at http://app.thescope.com.
1. Set up Discover
You start by defining your searches. From our point of view it is important not only to focus on full text search, but also to think about RSS feeds and parsing other newsletters. These wiki entries will tell you how to create your searches in detail. Further information on this module can also be found in this blog post (German only).
2. Open projects
Consider who the target group(s) of your publications are. Scope will help you to serve several target groups simultaneously. Typically, you open a project for each of them, for example, one for "internal" and one for external communication (e.g. customers). You do this by clicking on the “Case”-icon on the left and selecting "New Project" on the right.
3. Curate articles
Back to the Discover module (bulb icon): View the results of your searches (and RSS feeds, etc.). All you need to do is click on them. If you like an article, select it by clicking on the plus symbol, write (optionally) an article comment (describing why the article is worth reading, classifying the content, etc.) and select one or more of the previously created projects in the drop-down menu. More on curating content can be found in these Wiki entries.
4. Create a publication
Open one of the projects and create a new publication by clicking on the button "New Publication" (as mentioned before newsletter, website update, push to CRM/CMS etc.).
Assign a unique name (e.g. Newsletter from 30 October 2019) and save by clicking "Save". Add the desired modules (text, title, articles) via drag and drop.
5. Compile news feed
To add the articles belonging to the project to this publication, switch to the "Articles" tab at the top right and also drag and drop them into the "Articles" module. More information about the editor can be found in this blog post (German only).
6. publish newsfeed
If the preview (click on "Preview Mail") looks as desired, the publication is ready for publication. Go to the "Publish" tab. There you can see the connected channels. As described in this blog post (German only), all options are open to you. (The only requirement is that the desired channel offers an API.) Click on the "Plus" symbol to select the channel, add the necessary information (e.g. email subject line) and click on "Publish" at the top to send the publication directly, publish it on social media and/or push it into the connected platforms (CRM/CMS etc.). More about "Distribute" can be found in these Wiki entries.
