Can I Run a Contest in Facebook Groups?
No, you cannot incentivise actions inside a Facebook Group. Click to learn how to direct users to your Group without violating Facebook rules.
Facebook does not allow you to incentivise users to join a Group or complete actions within one. This includes giving entries, points, or rewards for joining, posting, or interacting inside any Facebook Group.
However, you can still guide users to your Facebook Group by using Gleam’s Visit a Website action. Users will receive credit for clicking the link and opening your Group's URL — but you cannot require them to join or interact inside the Group.
Gleam fully complies with Facebook’s platform policies, which restrict incentivised actions to:
- Login to Facebook
- Enter a Promotion on Your App’s Page
- Check-in to a Place
- Use Messenger to Communicate
- View a Facebook Post
- Visit a Profile
- Comment on a Facebook Post
- Select a Photo, Video, or Hashtag
