X Actions
Let people enter with X, and reward them for posting, reposting, viewing your posts or following you.
New to X contests? Our X integration page has demos, examples and best practice.
When entrants connect X, they sign in through the Gleam Competitions X app:
These are the standard permissions for any X app that can post, and X doesn't let apps ask for less. We never post without the entrant's say-so, and we never change their profile.
Most X actions have Reject Throwaway Accounts. It turns away profiles that don't meet a minimum quality bar.
It's there to cut spam and get more real people entering your campaigns.
X Entry gives entrants an entry for logging in with X, so you know the X profile behind every entry.
Entrants write a post about your campaign. Posts link to your landing page when there's room, or to the entrant's Viral Share link if you're using that action.
Entrants post using your hashtags. Add just the hashtags and let them write the rest, or fill in a Default Post Text they can edit. Their post has to include every hashtag you list.
Entrants repost one of your existing posts.
Entrants view a post you choose.
Entrants follow the X account you choose. People who already follow it get their entry too.
This action is no longer available because of X's API policy changes.
X locks some accounts automatically until the owner verifies them, including:
- People with several accounts (a brand new account often gets checked straight away)
- Accounts that look like spam
The owner adds a phone number to carry on. It isn't a ban, just a check X uses to protect the platform.
If you create several X accounts just for giveaways or rewards, you'll probably be asked to verify them.
