Everything you need to know about sharing a private promotion using InviteLinks.
Private Promotions are only available on the Premium and Enterprise plans
Automated Sharing
You can programmatically request a unique one-use (or multi-use) URL to send to each individual you wish to invite to play your game. The links can be anonymous or encode a user's details such as name and email address or any other data you wish to pass through, such as order number, company, etc. The BeeLiked API enables you to request these InviteLinks on-demand, as well as retrieve data related to their usage.

Manual Sharing
Head over to the Share Centre. You can access that from the main left-hand menu.
There are only two choices when sharing a private promotion—anonymous or personalized invites.
The first thing you want to do is select the promotion you want to share.
You can only see Live Promotions here. If you want to share a draft promotion, you can get the ULR from the Launch Control module
Once you've chosen your promotion, you must decide the type of Invite you want to create.
1. Anonymous Invite Links
Choose anonymous and choose how many invites you would like to create
As the Invite is anonymous, remember to keep a record of who receives each InviteLink. If you would like a record in BeeLiked, you can turn on the entry form so people can fill in their details. If you don't do this, the platform cannot map a result to a recipient.
You can select an automatic expiration date for your InviteLink(s) if you have an Enterprise plan.
Then click on Generate. If you have more than 500, they will be queued, and you'll be notified via email when they are ready for you to download. If you generate less than 500, they will be done immediately, and you'll see something similar.
You can now copy and paste this link/QR code into an email or share it with your recipient in any way you wish.
2. Personalized Invite Links
Decide whether to create the Invites manually or upload a CSV file and do them in bulk.
If you include an email when creating the Invite you will be able to use the BeeLiked platform to send your invites for you once you have masked your email address.
2.1 Create Individually
Fill in the form with the relevant details
Ensure you only add new fields here once you've added them to the promotion entry form.
You can select an automatic expiration date for your InviteLink(s) if you have an Enterprise plan.
