With the new UPS Digital Connections Vendor Portal, UPS sales teams now can easily learn about your company and services and communicate with you in an accessible way.

Now that your Tolstoy has been created and uploaded to the portal, the next step is to learn how to manage your Tolstoy accounts in order to understand how to make changes, respond to the sales team members, and oversee your activity & analytics.

Here's a walkthrough of your Tolstoy dashboard and how to manage it:

1. Understanding the toolbar

  • Builder: Clicking on the builder tab opens up the video parts of your Tolstoy. You can click on the builder and make changes to your Tolstoy at any point, and it will automatically update on the landing page.

  • Responses: Clicking on the Responses tab will show you each user's activity with your Tolstoy: which buttons they clicked and any information they submitted.

    If the user provided an email address, you can respond to that user by selecting the Reply button, and your reply will be sent back to their email.

  • Lead form: The lead form allows you to ask your user's any contact information you're interested in learning such as name, email, and phone number. You can select add field to add any additional information you want to collect.

  • Settings: Within your Settings tab you'll find options to customize your Tolstoy and decide who receives email notifications any time there's an interaction with your Tolstoy.

If you would like to add captions to your video, scroll to the bottom of your settings page and turn on the "Add captions to video" toggle.

  • Analytics: The analytics tab will show you the data for user interactions with your Tolstoy. Here you can understand the number of users who viewed your Tolstoy, clicked start, and the % of users who completed your Tolstoy, all seen over the course of time.

2. Managing responses from submitted forms

Within your Tolstoy account we have created two additional Tolstoys for you: one collecting the responses to the popup form for submitted questions, and one collecting the responses to the popup form for submitted leads, both being transferred over from the portal.

  • Responses dashboard for the two additional Tolstoys--show where they will be stored, what it will look like,

  • How to respond to sales reps and continue the conversation (reply button).

    A. Ask partner a question button: the popup form the sales teams will see on your page in the Vendor Portal is shown below.

  1. Navigate to the "Questions" Tolstoy we created for you to view all of the submitted questions from this form.

2. Here you will see all of the submitted questions from each user. Click on any response to open the question submitted by that user.

3. Once opened, you will see their name, email and message they left. To reply to this user via text or video, click on one of the buttons below.

5. When you reply to each user, this is an example of what it will look like in your dashboard.

6. The user will receive the answer straight to their inbox, and it will look like this:

7. After clicking View Reply, they will be able to see your message and reply back to you via Video, Audio, or Text by clicking the corresponding button below.

After the user submits a response, you will get notified by email and be able to continue the conversation from within the Responses page in your Tolstoy account.

B. Submit a Lead button: the popup form the sales teams will see on your page in the Vendor Portal is shown below.

  1. Navigate to the "Leads" Tolstoy we created for you to view all of the submitted leads.

2. Here you will see all of the submitted leads from each user. Click on any message to open the lead submitted by that user.

3. Once opened, you will see all of the submitted information about that lead. To reply to this user, click on the "Reply" button on the right, where once again you can reply via video or text.

5. When you reply to each user, this is an example of what it will look like in your dashboard.

6. This is an example of what the user will receive in their email inbox.

After clicking "View Reply" the sales rep will once again be able to respond via video, audio, or text, to continue the conversation from there if they have any additional questions.

And that's it! Now you know how to use your Tolstoy accounts and manage the responses coming in from the UPS Digital Connections Vendor Portal.
