How Do I Track Referrals in a Giveaway?
Add the Viral Share Action. Every entrant gets their own referral link, and they earn entries when a friend enters through it. Sharing alone earns nothing.
- On the How to Enter tab, add Viral Share.
- Set Worth # entries for each successful referral, and an optional Limit on how many referrals one entrant can earn from.
- Pick your Sharing Options, such as Email, Facebook, Bluesky, X and WhatsApp.
- Add at least one other Action, because entrants aren't entered until they complete one.
To see who's referring, open the Viral Share report. It shows how many entrants shared, how many clicks their links got, how many clicks became new entrants, and your top sharers.
Want to track partners or placements instead of entrants? On the Business Plan and above, add a query string like ?ref=partner to each link and check the Referrers report.

Where Can I Track Results From My App Giveaway?
Use your campaign's Reporting tab for entries and shares. The App Download Action counts clicks, not installs, so track installs with your own link provider.
