Facebook Check-in Action

We've launched a brand new action for Business customers which allows you to incentivize Check-ins to a specific location on Facebook.

What can this be used for?

• Give users that check-in via the widget access to your Wi-fi password
• Reward loyal customers with extra entries into a Competition
• Check-in at live events or concerts for additional entries
• Reward users that have attended a previous event or location

If you have your Twitter / X account connected to Gleam you can do almost any action in a single click, this makes it extremely easy for users to enter campaigns.

We do have plenty of users that don't want to give Gleam access or authenticate our app via Twitter / X, which is totally fine. We accommodate these users by allowing them to Tweet or Follow via the Twitter / X Web Intent buttons.

Twitter / X used to fire a Callback after a Web Intent (Tweet or Follow) had successfully happened. This was great, as we knew that the action had been successfully completed - we just didn't know the details of the actions (@username or Tweet URL).

They recently changed the Callback to fire when any Web Intent button was clicked instead of on completion. This meant that we had no idea when the action was completed, only when it was clicked. This obviously lead to a lot of users just clicking the actions and not completing them at all.

Over the past few months we've been working on a way to validate all Twitter / X activity to ensure users are completing actions properly.

This update should provide:

• Better backend data, you should see Tweet URL's for all users now
• Will reduce spam and users completing actions without doing the required entry methods

Unfortunately Private accounts will now be required to authenticate with Twitter / X to complete these actions (as we have no other way to verify them).
