"Go Live" Checklist

Ready to go live with your Interactive Q&A? We recommend reviewing the following list before launching and double-checking that you have:

• If you're using your Interactive Q&A as a competition, ensure you've updated the T&Cs template accessible here, and hyperlinked them to the opt-in-field, which is created in the data capture section of the settings tab.
• All images uploaded to each screen are the correct dimensions. Export image files in 2x to ensure none of the images appear pixelated. 
• All your communications fully set up and ready to send.
• Ensured you have set your Q&A open for questions so that users can submit questions.
• Set up your data capture form to gather the user data you're looking to collect. 
• Ensured that you have nominated a moderator to approve/ reject questions and keep track of the back end of the mechanic. 
• Ensured that you have set the question and question character limits to your liking. 
• Edited the Gameplay screen of the Interactive Q&A to reflect your branding. 
• Checked the overview tab to make sure that all required settings of the Interactive Q&A card have been configured. 

Then you're ready to go live!

FAQ

Is there a limit to the number of questions audience members can submit? 

You can set your own limit to the number of questions an individual user can submit (between 3 and 5). However, there is no limit to the number of questions that can be submitted from users in general! As with any Card on the Komo Platform, the Interactive Q&A is built to scale with you, no matter the size of your event. 

Can I reject a question once it's in the live tab?

We have provided this feature, just in case your moderator accidentally approves a question that should have been rejected. Simply navigate to the live hub and reject any question you wish to archive immediately. 

What's the difference between the different tabs in gameplay?

The Popular tab of the gameplay screen will show those questions that have the most 'likes' or 'votes'. This tab makes it easy for users and moderators alike to identify the audience's most burning questions. 

The Recent tab will simply show the questions that have most recently been approved and made live. 

The 'You' tab will display questions the user has submitted, either with a 'waiting for approval' status or simply displaying as live. 

 

Top Tips

• Plan a seamless Q&A session in advance by embedding your Interactive Q&A card in an email to your audience pre-event and having them submit their questions before your event starts! 
  • This way, you can also moderate questions in advance and go straight into answering.
• Try pre-populating your Q&A with a few questions before you invite your users to submit their own questions. This will give them some inspiration and make asking their own question feel less intimidating! 
• Use your cover image and gameplay screen to give your audience some context. Use these graphics to make the theme of your Q&A clear.
• Send your users an SMS after filling in the data capture form to set some ground rules for your Q&A. A tactic as simple as this can make a huge difference in reducing the number of inappropriate questions you'll have to weed through!
