Overview
Quick Draws are an easy, reliable and fair way to pick instant winners for your giveaways. With Quick Draws, you can instantly draw random winners from a variety of sources including a list of names, Instagram comments, or entries from your own Gleam Competitions.
To create a Quick Draw:
- Open the Quick Draws page in your dashboard.
- Click New Quick Draw.
- Pick a template. The Competition templates screen opens filtered to Quick Draws.
The Quick Draw interface is designed for public-facing winner draws, so it's perfectly suited for performing the draw on a live stream, or for posting the draw on social media.
The Quick Draw interface has a minimal design with background customization options.
You can customize the background by:
- Choosing a color or gradient
- Uploading your own image file
- Picking a stock photo from Unsplash
When your draw is finalized, the winners will be shown on the screen. User-identifying information such as email addresses are hidden from view. You can click on the ℹ button to reveal the winner's contact information.
For each draw you perform you will receive an email summary with the winners list.
Quick Draw campaigns are automatically removed after 30 days. You cannot retrieve the winner's list once a Quick Draw campaign expires.
