Here are some ideas on how to use Add to Calendar:

Streamline User Experience: Offer a seamless and convenient way for users to stay informed about critical dates and events straight from their own calendar. For example, the launch date of a sales campaign, or the closing date for submission.

Fraud Filter Levels

You can now manually adjust a campaign's fraud filter levels on the Business plan and above.

Tired of the tradeoff between security and flexibility? Our new fraud filter options keep your giveaways safe, but sometimes, you know your audience best. Now, you can fine-tune your defense while still attracting real, engaged participants.

Adjust filter intensity based on the specific giveaway, your audience, and your comfort level. If you know your participants well, you can loosen the filter for a smoother entry experience.

Select an individual campaign's fraud filter levels based on your preference

And remember, you can still see exactly what actions are flagged, manually review suspicious entries, and make informed decisions.

Fraud level settings are available on the Setup tab of each campaign.
