New Gleam Subscriber Action

We're thrilled to introduce the new Gleam Subscriber Action, a new entry method to incentivize contestants to enter your campaigns and subscribe to future ones.

Running contest & giveaway promotions consistently is one of the best ways we know to grow your subscribers and to snowball your promotion efforts. For instance, here at Gleam we run promotions all year round and offer lots of exciting prizes to capture new audiences.

With the Gleam Subscriber Action, you can incentivize participants to subscribe to your Gleam Subscribers list in exchange for additional entries on your current campaign.

Gleam Verified Giveaways

The Gleam Subscribers list is a pool of all your participants who are already primed and excited to hear about your future campaigns, not to mention readily available to give your promotions a boost.

The Gleam Subscriber Action is available on the Free plan and above, and to utilise your Gleam Subscribers list, you'll need a Business plan to send out promotion emails.

Create entries via our Post API

Unlock new levels of automation and integration with our latest API updates!

We're excited to release new POST methods for our apps, allowing developers to streamline entry creation for Gleam via API:

With our new POST API, you can effortlessly gamify user actions in your app, automating entries without manual spreadsheets or complex workflows. Create new custom actions outside of Gleam's widgets and seamlessly integrate Gleam with your apps, websites, and systems. Add entries in real-time as users interact with your platform, ensuring a seamless experience that keeps both your app and Gleam in sync.

The Gleam API is available on Premium plans.

Want to start integrating but don't know where to start? Here are some ideas we have for our customers:

  • E-Commerce: Automatically create Competition or Reward entries when customers make a purchase.

  • Loyalty Programs: Automatically award Competition entries for customer actions like referrals or reviews.

  • Mobile Apps: Trigger Reward entries based on in-app actions or achievements.

  • Events: Create Capture entries automatically when attendees complete certain actions, like RSVPing or checking in.

Improved Phone Number Field for User Details Form

We have improved the phone number field to allow users to pick their country code using a dropdown. You no longer need to validate the field using regex, and we'll pre-select the country code based on the user's location.
