Could entries be granted simply by sharing?

  • Hi I find the concept of only granting additional entries when someone signs up through the referral link to be in slightly bad taste, or at least not optimal for me.

    After all, users can’t control what other people do…

    Would there be a way to modify the plugin so that it has a setting to make it so that entries are granted by the act of a verified share? That way the user gets something in return for the action they took, not what may or may not happen as a result of that action.

    Thanks I look forward to your reply!

    Hi @xroox,

    it is impossible to track if someone has shared or not the link. I could only track if the subscriber has clicked on the link for sharing. But he/she may not make the final action of sharing through the popup window so he/she would get a new entry point just by clicking the link.

    That’s not something I intend to implement, but I do have in my roadmap implementing other ways of getting new entries such as liking a Facebook page, following on Twitter and such. That’s a much better way of getting “free” entries in my own opinion since it’s kind of trackable (can’t track if the user has unfollowed or unliked).
