Setup

When building your campaign, go to:

Post-Entry: Social Actions > + Add Action.

Choose from a variety of different actions. To add multiple actions from the same network (like multiple Instagram Visit actions), simply click the action again.

Tracking Actions

The way actions are tracked and awarded will vary due to the API's of the social networks, coupled with their platform policies. On some actions, we will award entries when the user simply visits the social page. For example, we cannot track if a user has subscribed to your iTunes podcast, so the bonus entries are awarded when the user clicks to go to the podcast page. For other actions, like Twitter Tweet, you have the option to have the user authenticate and we can track that they actually Tweeted.
