Changes to Facebook Imports

Due to recent API changes from Facebook, the Facebook Post to Page import source will now be replaced with Facebook Page Mentions.

This change will affect Competition users who are importing Facebook Posts as entries, or Gallery users who are importing images or videos posted on their Facebook Page to a gallery.

The replacement feature allows you to import Facebook posts which mention a specific Facebook page you manage. You can also filter posts based on specified hashtags.

This means that rather than having Facebook users post on the Facebook Page you manage, from now on they will have to mention your Page and post on their own feed. Then, you can import these posts automatically to Competitions or Galleries as usual.

Improved Share on LinkedIn Action

We've made the Share on LinkedIn action easier to set up in the admin interface. It is also more intuitive for contestants to share your campaign to their LinkedIn Feed.

The Share on LinkedIn feature is great for getting users to share about your Gleam campaign on LinkedIn. It could also be used for custom URLs, such as a new blog post, a new product line, or an upcoming event.

Users will need to write a post on their LinkedIn feed to share your link. You can provide instructions & examples to help them.

To get a feel for how it works, have a play with the demo below:

Share on LinkedIn action remains available on the Business plan and above.

New Kick Action

The new Kick Action allows you to grant entries to users who follow your Kick channel.

You can pair this action with a Secret Code action to grant bonus entries to loyal Kick subscribers. You can do this by messaging paid subscribers a special secret code they can enter to gain the extra entries.

The Follow on Kick action is available on the Hobby plan and above for Gleam Competitions, and Pro plan and above for Gleam Rewards.

Add to Calendar Action

The Add to Calendar action is now available on the Pro plan and above for Competitions & Rewards.

This action allows you to create a calendar event which then prompts the user to save it to their preferred Calendar app. We support iCal, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, and Outlook on the web.

Here are some ideas on how to use Add to Calendar:

Boost Participation: Encourage users to save Competition deadlines and event reminders directly to their calendars with a single click. This increases the likelihood of them participating and staying engaged throughout the entire Competition lifecycle.

Streamline User Experience: Offer a seamless and convenient way for users to stay informed about critical dates and events straight from their own calendar. For example, the launch date of a sales campaign, or the closing date for submission.

Watch a Video Action

The new Watch a Video action allows you to incentivize engagement with your video content directly within your contests, increasing reach and fostering deeper connections with your audience.

Boost video views: Encourage participants to watch your videos, whether it's a product demo, a behind-the-scenes look, or an exclusive announcement.
Drive user engagement: Motivate viewers to actively watch your content with autoplay

Here's how you can use the new Watch a Video action:

Promote new video releases: Generate excitement around your latest videos by offering bonus entries for watching them.
Gather feedback: Include a survey at the end of your video using the Question action to gather valuable insights from viewers.

The Watch a Video action is available on the Business plans and above for Competitions & Rewards.
