Improved Share on LinkedIn Action

Improved Share on LinkedIn Action

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.

Add to Calendar Action

Add to Calendar action

The Add to Calendar action is now available on the Pro plan and above for Competitions & Rewards.

This action allows you to create a calendar event which then prompts the user to save it to their preferred Calendar app. We support iCal, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, and Outlook on the web.

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

  • Boost Participation: Encourage users to save Competition deadlines and event reminders directly to their calendars with a single click. This increases the likelihood of them participating and staying engaged throughout the entire Competition lifecycle.

Fraud Filter Levels

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.

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.
