See our developer documentation for creating InviteLinks
We have set up the following Pop the Balloon promotion as a Private Promotion (entry is only possible with unique one-use InviteLinks). The promotion has the entry page turned on to ask people to opt in to a newsletter.
However the following fields are expected to be submitted when creating the InviteLink.
Note that Email must be identified as the UID.
To enter this promotion, you will need to generate an InviteLink.
Promo ID: 24782
Promo Name: Season's Greetings
When no InviteLink is included in the URL, the page displays as shown below with an Invite Code requested. The text can all be customized. When a valid Invite Code is included with the URL, then the page loads with an Enter button.
The promotion is set up with placeholders to display:
-
First Name
Post Parameters

uid_field |

A second Private Promotion is also set up:
Over the Moon - Wheel of Fortune - promo id - 24798
The invite links can be personalized for users and also can be anonymous. If we add the uid and uid_field, it creates personalized invite links, and if the uid is not provided in the request, it creates an anonymous invite link.
