Sharing the referral link through social platforms
From the Dashboard, go to Program > Referrals.
Scroll down to the Social Sharing Settings section.
Check the box of the social platform where you want to allow the sharing of referral links. In this example, we checked all three — Twitter, Facebook, Email, and WhatsApp.
Optional: Either if you are checking Twitter or WhatsApp as well, include a message in the field provided.
When you're satisfied with your settings, click Save.
Email notifications for Referral Completed
Aside from being able to share the referral link to social media platforms, you can also set the app to send email notifications to your customers as soon as the friend they referred has used their reward!
Go to Programs > Emails on the left navigation panel.
Set Referral Completed to ON under Notifications.
No need to look for a Save button since the app will automatically do so!
Customizing email notifications
While some merchants choose to use the default formatting for customer emails on completed referrals, the text can be customized to make these notifications reflect your brand.
Click Edit on Referral Completed under Notifications.
Enter the texts that you want to appear on the following fields:
Subject - The subject line of the email
Title - The main heading of the email copy
Subtitle - The secondary text of the email copy
Button - The text of the button that brings the customer to your store
Subtext - T&Cs or fine print text. {{reward_tos}} will be replaced by any conditions set for the reward.
When you're satisfied with your settings, click Save.
