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.

Improvements to Capture Campaign Data

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.
