Delay + Question Options For Visit Actions

Quite often when you use a Visit action you might want to ensure a user spends a certain amount of time on the visited page, or even ask them a question about the content to verify that they actually visited.

All visit actions now support:

• The ability to add a delay which ensures the user spends x seconds on the visited page
• The ability to ask a Freeform question, or ask users to select an answer from a dropdown

This can also be useful for Facebook or Instagram Visit actions where you might ask a user if they Follow you or not.

Improved YouTube Channel Parsing

We've made some improvements to pull the URL's of channels owned by any YouTube entrants. Up until now we were returning their Google+ profile, but that made it hard to contact winners.

So now you'll be able to see the channel of any entrants, which should make it easier to see any entries (if it's a video upload) or contact them when they win.

26th March, 2017

Support for Messenger in Viral Shares

You can now enable Messenger in your Viral Share action to allow users to share your campaign to their Messenger contacts.

Tracking API Improvements

We've made some considerable improvements to our Tracking API on Custom actions:

• We've reduced the number of steps to completion (making it easier for users)
• The API now auto-completes if a user is logged into the campaign and completes the action. Before they had to physically come back to the widget and click "continue"
• We've improved tracking in Safari/iOS where 3rd party cookies are disabled by default
• If the action is set to daily, the user will need to complete the Tracking again (previously they could piggyback off the old tracking and complete the action every day without re-doing it)
