Overview of the Viral Campaign Settings

Name:

Give your Viral Campaign a name

Goal Level:

Select the number of referrals you want people to get, to be able to reach the Referral Goal e.g. if you select 3, that means people will need to refer 3 friends in order to reach the Goal and then get the Bonus.

  • TIP – Goal Management:
    If you later decide to change your viral share settings and go from a higher goal to a lower goal (5 to 3) then everyone who registered before has the new goal level.If instead you go from low goal to higher goal (3 to 5) then this change only applies to new registrations, previously registered members will still have the old lower goal.
Goal Completion Action:

When somebody completes the referral goal, you can add an action, such as Send Webhook, Apply Infusionsoft Tag or Apply Active Campaign Tag

Request Users to Confirm Their Registration

This option is enabled by default. Once people optin, they will receive an email which will include a confirm email link. When they click the link, they will reach a ‘Confirmed’ page that will tell them their email is confirmed. They will also be able to grab their share link on this page.

This ensures that people are giving you their real email for the referral program.
