Updates
You can now use Gleam campaigns to grow your newsletter audience on Beehiiv.
Our new integration allows you to seamlessly send Competitions, Rewards, or Capture users to Beehiiv so you can focus on growing your publication.
The Beehiiv integration is available on all Pro plans.
This month, we're excited to announce new features & updates on the Gleam platform 🎁
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is replacing our Google Analytics integration, which will stop processing data on July 1st, 2023.
We have updated our integration to support the latest version of Google Analytics. To keep tracking your campaigns, you'll need to enable the new Google Analytics 4 Integration in your Site Settings → Integrations.
You'll also need to set up custom dimensions to access Gleam events in your GA4 account.
GA4 Integration is available on the Business plans for Competitions, Rewards, or Captures.
You can now require entrants to verify their email before logging into your Gleam widget. This will help maintain high quality leads for your campaigns.
To enable this feature, go to any Competitions or Rewards campaign and check Verify user email before actions in the User Details tab. Entrants will receive a 4-digit code from Gleam to enter into your widget.
Email Verification is available on the Business plans for Competitions or Rewards.
You can now grow your TikTok followers with the new Follow on TikTok action.
Follow on TikTok action is available on the Hobby plans for Competitions or Rewards.
Authors on Goodreads can now promote their book by asking users to add a book to their 'Want to Read' shelf in Goodreads.
Goodreads Add to Shelf action is available on the Hobby plans for Competitions or Rewards.
We also published a new blog post for our Goodreads authors:
As part of our initiative to improve Gleam Capture's campaign reporting, we are gradually introducing some enhancements to the Captures dashboard, and reconstructing Capture visitor & lead data to contain more useful data points to help you make better marketing decisions on your website.
We have also created brand new documentation for Capture Data.
For Click Captures, the Leads tab will now be replaced by the Actions tab, which contains a list of all visitors who interacted with the Click Capture campaign.
Since Click Captures do not have named users, the Leads tab did not report any user data. Although this was the expected behaviour, our Capture customers couldn't access any other information relating to the clicks.
The new Actions tab will allow you to see where & when the click was from. You can also filter the Actions report with a custom date range.
Furthermore, under the Events tab in Reporting, you'll be able to see the number of visitors who dismissed your Capture, or if they clicked on 'No, Thanks' at the second step of a Two-Step Capture.
Note that there are no changes to data & reporting for Email Captures & Coupon Captures.
To learn more about the different variations of Reporting for all Capture types, check out our new documentation for Capture Data.
We have a brand new library of powerful Capture templates available for all Gleam users to browse and try.
With our in-depth library of customisable Capture templates you can create a wide range of opt-in forms, coupon popups, website banners, announcements, sale countdowns and so much more. Whatever your goals are, our Capture templates can help you deliver targeted messages anywhere on your website, generate leads, and drive instant action.
If you don't have a Capture plan yet, you can even test out all our templates for free before committing to a subscription.
Check them out today by navigating to Captures on your Gleam dashboard, and don't forget to leave us feedback & suggestions so we can continue to build more templates for you!
We've come a long way since the BETA days for Gleam Capture!
Existing base templates are going to be deprecated on the 31st of August, 2021.
You can no longer create new Captures with the old templates, but we have replaced them with new & improved versions, so you can provide a more pleasant experience to website visitors.
The new templates have:
Email & user icons in form fields
Improved alignment between form elements
Softer edges around Capture form borders
New base templates are immediately available when you create a new Capture, based on your existing plan.
To assist in migrating existing Captures to the new & improved version, we've made some changes to the Captures dashboard to help you make adjustments. Users with affected Captures have been contacted via email.
