Post Entry Tab

This tab is for configuring what happens when a user successfully enters your campaign.

Every user that enters your competition will receive a post entry email, we feel this is important to let them know:

  • That their entry was received
  • That there's additional ways to enter or gain entries they hadn't considered

If you select a language other than English this email will send to the user in your selected language.

Note

Post entry emails can be disabled during setup, or you can use our platform to send custom emails instead.

Business customers have the ability to send custom emails to users that enter a competition or redeem a reward. We have a nice WYSIWYG editor that you can use to build or preview the email.

There's also a bunch of tokens that you can use to dynamically replace data inside the email:

  • CAMPAIGN_NAME
  • CAMPAIGN_LANDING_PAGE_URL
  • CONTESTANT_FIRST_NAME
  • CONTESTANT_FULL_NAME
  • GALLERY_SHARE_LINKS
  • CURRENT_ENTRIES_LIST
  • CURRENT_ENTRIES_COUNT
  • PROSPECTIVE_ENTRIES_LIST
  • PROSPECTIVE_ENTRIES_COUNT
  • VIRAL_SHARE_URL
  • UNSUBSCRIBE
  • UNSUB_URL

We give you the ability to test what the email will look like before your campaign goes live.

The Post Entry Redirect allows you to redirect users to a specified URL once all the actions in your Competition have been completed.

Note

The Post Entry Redirect will ignore the Viral Share action as it has no completed state. So you should not use this and also have the Viral Share as the final action to complete in your campaign.

With Pixel Tracking you can fire tracking pixels from one of our supported providers when a user loads or enters your campaign.

This allows you to easily track Impressions and Conversions, create Custom Audiences and run Retargeting campaigns.

The Facebook Conversions API is not affected by Ad Blockers or Apple's iOS 14 Requirements.

You may need to create a Custom Audience based on the Gleam data to track Facebook Conversions in your campaigns.

The Google Ads pixel has two options:

  • On load: This will fire an Impression for all users that view the campaign (good for Retargeting)
  • Conversion: This will fire a Conversion for all users that enter the campaign (good for tracking Conversions)

This will allow you to track if users have converted via a specific offer to enter your campaign.

This will fire a "Signed Up" conversion for all users that enter the campaign (by completing at least 1 Action).

You should setup a Single Event tag that tracks "Sign up" in order for Gleam to fire the pixel correctly.

The Post Entry Webhook allows you to send all entry data from the Competition to your own endpoint, this option is available on Premium plans only.
