Introducing Cleo Streem® Notify
The Cleo Streem software is a Microsoft Windows-based fax processing platform that provides a complete range of
advanced voice and fax capabilities. This guide focuses on the voice capabilities of the Cleo Streem software, which
we refer to as Cleo Streem Notify.
Use the Cleo Streem Notify system to create messages and send them to contacts or contact groups, either
immediately or at a time you schedule in the future. Your messages can be delivered as electronic files using email or
fax, or as audio files using phones (mobile or land line). You can create a new message, or select an existing, ready-
to-send message.
Options available for sending a message are specific to the distribution method chosen for the message. For example,
a message distributed using email will not have the same options available as a message distributed using phone.

Sending a message
With Cleo Streem Notify software, you can send a message using a five-step launch process or the express launch
process.
• Use the five-step launch process for maximum flexibility when sending messages.

• Phone

depend on the method configured by the user.
3. Optionally, select Survey. This option is only enabled if one or more surveys are available in the system.
When you select Survey, the only distribution methods available are phone and cell. If you selected other

On the New Message - Review page:
• If you are satisfied with your message, click Send Message. The message is sent.
• If you want to make changes, click Go Back to Options. The Options page appears. Make updates on the
Options page, or click Go Back until you return to the page where updates are necessary, and repeat the message

Using Express Launch

With Express Launch, you can create and send a message from a single page.
To begin the Express Launch, navigate to the Messages page and click the New Message link.
Use the Express Launch page to provide the information required by the Cleo Streem software to send your
message. The information falls into the following sections on the page:
• Message Header on page 10
• Message Content on page 10
• Recipients on page 11
• Message Format on page 12

Message Header
Specify the basic information for the message.
• The Name field is automatically filled in with information determined by the Cleo Streem administrator, and is
typically the user's name. Enter text to change this field if desired.
• The Subject field is used as the subject line for any email, fax, or text messaging recipients and also as the
Message Title for reports. If you select a message template, the Subject field is automatically filled with the
template name.
• By default, all messages are set as Normal priority. Selecting High priority will cause the message to interrupt
and take precedence over any currently running messages that are set as Normal or Low priority.
• By default, the message is set to send Now, which sends immediately upon clicking Submit.

any attachments for the message.

Sending a message
 Cleo Streem® Notify | 11

Content
The Content field contains the main message. You can manually type the message or select Select Template and
choose a pre-built message from the Template menu. The text from the Content field will appear as the body of the
email, text message, pager message, or fax. The text is converted to voice for phone and cell calls.
• Select the HTML option to enter the content using an HTML editor, which allows you to add HTML
formatting and images to your email message. The Cleo Streem Notify software uses CKEditor. Visit http://
docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Users_Guide for information about how to use this editor.
Note: Copying and pasting images works in Mozilla Firefox, but not Internet Explorer. Users are
encouraged to use either uploaded images or images with accessible links.
• Select Plain to display the Content field without HTML formatting.
• Select Sync to keep the content between HTML and Plain modes synchronized. Sync is selected by default.
When this option is selected, you cannot edit the text in Plain mode. WhenSync is cleared, you can edit the text
in the Content field in HTML mode and Plain mode independently. This allows you to send only the plain text
message for email clients and other destination types that do not display HTML.
• Sync is cleared by default when using a Template. This helps prevent unintentionally modifying each respective
message area.
• To save your message as a template, select Save as New Template. A new Template Name field appears where
you can enter a name for your template. The template is saved with the assigned name when the message is
submitted. To edit or delete existing templates, navigate to Messages > Templates. You can also use the template
manager located here to create templates. When selecting a template, either during the creation of a broadcast or
to edit from the Templates page, the Sync option is never selected, since templates may contain different HTML
and plain text content. When editing a template, you can select Sync to automatically copy all the HTML content
to the plain text message. If you leave Sync cleared, you can edit each message independently.

Responses
Use the Response feature to configure a voice message to record a key response from the recipient. To use the
Response feature, compose your response message to include instructions that prompt the recipient to press a key
from up to ten possible key assignments. Use the Responses menu and choose Add Response Message to display
the fields used to set the key assignments. Select the Number of Responses that match your message instructions and
then assign the desired keys, 0-9, with the Response that will be recorded when the key is pressed by the recipient.
The status report for the message will show a tally of the key responses received by all recipients for each assigned
key.
If your message will prompt an SMS response, make sure to read about SMS opt-out keywords before composing
your message.

Attach
The Attachment option allows you to search for and add attachments to the broadcast. Attachments are only
applicable with email and fax messages. Click Browse to search for an attachment. When the attachment is selected,
its path and filename appear in the Attachment field. Click Add Attachment to add the attachment to the broadcast.
Repeat this process to find and add more attachments. All attachments added for the broadcast will be listed at the
bottom of the Express Launch page where they can be viewed or removed prior to submitting the broadcast.

Recipients
Specify one or more recipients for the message.
There are three options for adding recipients to the message. Choose any or all of these options:
1. Enter a number or email address in the Number/Email field and click Add.

Sending a message
12 | Cleo Streem Notify User Guide

2. Select an entry from the Contacts list and click Add. Alternatively, double-click an entry from the Contacts list.
3. Choose a pre-defined list and double click or select Add.
Click Show to display details for a selected Recipient or List.
Click Refresh to update Recipients and Lists with any changes made by other users since you last logged in. The
count preceding Contact(s) and Group(s) will reflect additions, deletions, or share level changes. Any changes made
to contacts or groups are automatically updated to Express Launch and therefore do not require using Refresh.

Message Format
Specify which message format to use for each recipient.
This section shows all the contacts and groups added from the Recipients section. In the Message Format section,
specify the format of the message for each recipient or list. If the default message format has been pre-set for the
recipient or list, the message format will be selected accordingly. Once you have specified the message formats for
your recipients, click Apply.
To Remove one or more recipients:
• Select individual destinations to remove them from the message.
• Select Remove in the title bar to remove all destinations from the message.
• Click Apply after removing the desired destinations.

Opt-out keywords in SMS messages

When creating an outbound SMS message that elicits a response, be aware that there are several keywords that some
SMS providers will interpret as cancelling the service. As a result, if a recipient responds to your message with one of
these keywords, outbound messages will no longer be sent to recipients unless they text back with a restart keyword.
This will only occur if the user responds with any one of the keywords individually, with no other characters.
The opt-out keywords that will stop a user from receiving any outbound messages are:
• STOP
• STOPALL
• UNSUBSCRIBE
• CANCEL
• END
• QUIT
To restart the service, the user must reply with one of the following keywords:
• START
• YES
• UNSTOP
To avoid this issue, design outbound messages so that recipients will not need to reply with any of the opt-out
keywords.

About templates
Cleo Streem Notify templates comprise of several types of files used in Cleo Streem Notify messages.
Upon clicking Templates, a list of all the files used in Cleo Streem Notify messages is displayed.
Template types include message text files and audio recordings that act as a pre-recorded message body, and pre-
message and post-message audio files.
In addition, use the Templates screen to access functionality that converts text entered into audio to use as a pre- or
post-message, or a pre-recorded message. You can also save audio files as acknowledgments or survey questions.

Viewing the template list

View a list of all templates or a list of templates of a particular type.
Upon clicking Templates, a list of all template files is displayed.
Click any of the menu options in the left pane to display one of the following lists of a subset of templates:
• message text
• audio recordings
• pre-messages
• post-messages
• acknowledgments
For each template file in the list, you can:
• update the display text associated with it
• view or listen to it
• delete it.

About message text

Use message text files as the body of text-based messages, or for converting to .wav files for voice-based messages.
When HTML email is enabled in the Cleo Streem Notify Master Configuration, you can prepare your message text
using Cleo Streem Notify's embedded HTML editor, CKEditor, which allows the addition of HTML formatting
and images to your email message. See the CKEditor User's Guide for additional help using this editor, including
the related section on how to insert and edit images. Note that while copying and pasting images does work in the
Mozilla FireFox browser, users are encouraged to use either uploaded images or images with accessible links.
A Plain text message area and Sync option are also present when HTML email is enabled. For a new broadcast,
Sync is selected by default and indicates that the text content of the message entered in the HTML message area
will also be extracted and automatically copied to a Plain text message. The Plain text message is delivered as an

23
24 | Cleo Streem Notify User Guide

alternate stream in email for clients that do not display HTML, as the cover note for faxes, and is converted to voice
for voice calls. The Plain text message can be viewed by selecting the Plain radio button.
When the Sync option is selected, the Plain text message cannot be edited. You can clear the Sync option and edit the
Plain text content without affecting the content that was entered in the HTML message area. This option is useful to
modify only the plain text message for email clients and other destination types that do not display HTML. The Sync
option is cleared by default when using a Template to prevent unintentional modification of each respective message
area.
