Updates
We’ve fixed an issue affecting the Subscribe on Messenger action!
Due to Meta’s deprecation of the Send to Messenger plugin, this action was temporarily broken. We have now implemented a fix, allowing users to once again direct traffic to their Facebook Page on Messenger and initiate conversations with contestants as usual.
Everything should now work smoothly—thank you for your patience!
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.
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.
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.
Instagram Stories imported from your Instagram Business account will now be displayed in a carousel if they are posted within the same day. This allows you to display Instagram Stories with better context if they are promoting the same campaign on a particular day.
The carousel mode also resembles Instagram's design so that users can feel familiar while interacting with your Gallery.
The Instagram Stories posted on the same day can still be moderated individually. If the first Story imported for a particular day is rejected, the next approved Story will take its place in the carousel.
