Creating a Custom Action Way to Earn in Rivo
Follow these steps to create your custom Way to Earn:
Go to Programs > Points from your Loyalty Dashboard and click "Add Another Way to Earn".
Select "Custom Action" and input an "Action Name", "Completed Action Name" and a "Description" of the Way to Earn.
The {{points_amount}} variable is replaced on the customer's end with the "Earning points" amount that you set in the field below it.
Set the points customers will earn.
Optionally, add a URL with button text, limit frequency, and a custom icon.
Save and enable the action by turning it ON.
Link the "Action Name" to an automation tool like Shopify Flow, Rivo API, or MESA.
📝 Note: The "Action Name" is important as this is how you connect the Way to Earn to your automation. It should be in the present tense.
The "Completed Action Name" is important as this is shown in the Points History section of the on-site displays and Rivo's "Points Earned" email. This should be in the past tense.
