Visit Action

The Visit action sends entrants to a page or site of your choice and rewards them with entries for going.

The Visit action sends entrants from your campaign to another page or site. Common uses:

  • Getting entrants to check out your website
  • Sending them to a product, special offer or partner
  • Pointing them to a social network or service Gleam doesn't support natively
  • Promoting your podcast, Kickstarter or other project

Add the Link URL and Button Text, then choose what happens After Visiting:

  • Click Continue to Complete: entrants come back to the widget and click Continue to get their entry
  • Automatically Complete: entrants get their entry as soon as they visit, as long as they're logged in

Choose Open Graph under Link type and we build a preview card from the page's Open Graph tags (its image, title and description). It works well for products, podcasts and any site with good Open Graph tags.

On the Pro Plan & above, After Visiting has two more options:

Entrants have to spend a set amount of time on the page before they can continue.

Ask entrants a question after they visit. Leave the options blank for a free-text answer, or add options for a dropdown.

Tip

This is handy for checking entrants actually read the page, or for asking whether they already follow you.
