We’re excited to announce that the Follow on Instagram action is now available again in Gleam Competitions & Rewards!

Subscribe on Messenger Fix

We’ve fixed an issue affecting the Subscribe on Messenger action!

Due to Meta’s deprecation of the Send to Messenger plugin, this action was temporarily broken. We have now implemented a fix, allowing users to once again direct traffic to their Facebook Page on Messenger and initiate conversations with contestants as usual.

Everything should now work smoothly—thank you for your patience!

Follow on Shop Action

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new way to grow your Shop following and boost engagement in your Competitions & Rewards campaigns - the Follow on Shop action!

The Follow on Shop action is avaliable on the Pro plan and above, and allows you to reward users for following your Shop. This is a powerful way for you build a loyal audience, increase visibility, and keep your brand top of mind.

Check out how you can supercharge your campaign:

Stack Actions for Greater Impact – Combine Follow on Shop with actions like Visit a Store or Make a Purchase to drive deeper engagement.
Boost Brand Loyalty – Use Follow on Shop as part of a tiered rewards system, offering bigger rewards to users who complete other high-value actions.
Send Gleam Leads to Shopify – Since Shop is powered by Shopify, you can use our integration to sync leads directly to your Shopify store, making it easier to retarget engaged users and grow your customer base.
