Add a New Site
In order to use our apps you will need to add a site to your account. You should have already added a site during signup which will be your default.
Imagine a site is its own self contained area within Gleam. Each site has its own:
- Users - Users that interact with Gleam are site specific, this means you get a view of which users interact most with your campaigns.
- Branding Templates - Each site has its own unique branding template, this means you can design the look & feel of widgets, emails or hosted landing pages.
- Notifications - If your account allows you to send new competition or reward notifications these are site specific.
- Integrations - Integrations are site specific, for example connecting Mailchimp or another email provider.
- Tracking - Just like Google Analytics we keep tracking specific to a single site.
You should not attempt to mix competitions or rewards from multiple sites together, unless you are happy with the above.
This is a very common question that comes up, as naturally you want to run your campaigns in the most cost efficient way possible.
Firstly, Gleam does allow you to run unlimited campaigns under a single site, they can be:
- Embedded on multiple domains
- Installed on multiple Facebook pages
So if you want to use a single site for all your campaigns then you are most welcome to do it that way.
You will need to be aware that there are a few limitations to doing it this way:
- All your campaigns will share a common branding on landing pages (you can enable or disable this by removing the branding under Site Settings)
- All your campaigns will share a common branding on notification emails (same as above)
- You will share Integrations, so if you have a default integration enabled there's a possibility that you may accidentally start sending emails to the wrong list or customer
- You mix up the data, if you use the Users tab you suddenly have data mashed together from all clients
- You can't use the Promote feature, as you'll be sending promotional emails to all your clients entrants instead of just the client the campaign is for
Adding multiple Sites allows you to have a completely separate workspace for each brand
Gleam makes it easy to add more sites. To add a new site simply click the dropdown in the left and navigation & select "Add Site"
Plans are specific to each Site, this means if you have multiple sites then you must pay separately for each app or if you have a Package it will apply to the entire Site.
