Behavioural Changes to Follow a Channel on Twitch Action

Following Twitch's deprecation of their Follow, Create and Delete API endpoints, we've made some adjustments to our Follow a Channel on Twitch action.

Previously, our Follow a Channel on Twitch action allowed entrants to 'one-click' follow your channel directly from the Gleam widget.

Now, entrants will have to manually open your channel in a new window, click 'Follow', then come back to the Gleam widget and click on 'Continue'.

It's worth noting that although the follow step is now manual, we still verify the entrant's follow status before giving out entries:

New & Improved Capture Templates

We've come a long way since the BETA days for Gleam Capture!

Existing base templates are going to be deprecated on the 31st of August, 2021.

You can no longer create new Captures with the old templates, but we have replaced them with new & improved versions, so you can provide a more pleasant experience to website visitors.

The new templates have:

• Email & user icons in form fields

• Improved alignment between form elements

• Softer edges around Capture form borders

New base templates are immediately available when you create a new Capture, based on your existing plan.

Migrating Existing Captures

To assist in migrating existing Captures to the new & improved version, we've made some changes to the Captures dashboard to help you make adjustments. Users with affected Captures have been contacted via email.

For more information on the migration process, refer to our documentation.

Bandcamp Action

The Follow on Bandcamp Action is now available on Hobby plans or above for Competitions and Rewards.

This action allows you to send fans to your Bandcamp page with the option to follow you on the platform. This channel is fantastic for fans to receive notifications when you add new music or merch. What's more, purchases from fans can create ripple effects across the entire Bandcamp community through recommendations and tag hubs, increasing your overall visibility in the Bandcamp ecosystem.

This action supports both Bandcamp URLs as well as custom domains.

Instant Terms & Conditions

Gleam now automatically generates ready-to-publish, globally compliant and personalised Terms & Conditions for Competitions on all plans.

Terms are generated using our dynamic universal template and details from your campaign. This gives you a hassle-free way of generating Terms & Conditions and running compliant campaigns without extra effort.

Instant terms & conditions are available to users on all plans, with the option of including additional details and clauses.

Fully custom Terms & Conditions are available to users on the Hobby plan or above.

Changes to Prize Setup

We have added a new Prize Details section to the Prize tab for Competitions setup that allows you to list what prizes you are giving away, how many winners will receive each prize, and optionally the value of each prize.

This makes it easier for you to draw winners for campaigns with multiple prizes, and helps us automatically generate Terms & Conditions for your Competition.

Multiple winners & prizes are available to users on all plans.

This change will not affect how prizes are displayed on the public-facing widget, the entrant's visual experience will remain the same.
