1. Introduction

When you set up a campaign with a registration form, you can enable different features that let you design one type of sweepstakes, contest, or promotion or another, and that let you ask users to perform one or several actions to complete their participation.

Below, we show you what actions you can ask your campaign participants to perform.

2. Types of Actions

2.1. Answer a single question

You can set up a single question for users to answer on the form, or have them write free text. This is the most common option for setting up a writing or story contest.

2.6. Vote for a participant

You can enable a public voting phase where users choose their favorite entry among the photos, videos, or texts submitted. This is often combined with photo or video contests, giving participants a dual role: they can take part by submitting their own content and also vote for other participants.

3. Other Actions

3.1. Recommend that they follow you

In addition to requesting personal data, asking users to answer a question, or having them take part with a video or photo, you can recommend that they follow your Facebook page or your Twitter or Instagram profiles.

You can recommend several fan pages to both your participants and your voters. This way, the recommendation appears when they click "PARTICIPATE" or "VOTE." This feature is configured in the "Go viral" section of the campaign editor.
