1. Introduction

If you've published independent sweepstakes (for example, on different social networks or in different months), Cool Tabs lets you unify all participants and select one or more unique winners from across them.

For example:

• You ran the same sweepstake on Facebook and Instagram and want a single winner.

• You ran several form-based sweepstakes over multiple months (June, July, August) and want to draw several winners jointly.

In this tutorial, we show you two ways to unify participants and select winners.

2. Step by step

2.1. Use the Multiplatform Sweepstakes app

The Multiplatform Sweepstakes app lets you unify participants from several sweepstakes launched on different social networks and select a single winner across all of them.

It supports participants from social network sweepstakes (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) as well as form-based campaigns.

The process is as follows:

1. Publish the sweepstakes on your social networks.

2. Create each sweepstake in your Cool Tabs account, so the tool knows which posts should collect entries.

3. Use the Multiplatform Sweepstakes app to unify all participants and select the winner.

Follow the full step-by-step in the tutorial How to create a Multiplatform Sweepstake.

2.2. Download the participant Excel files and merge them

You can also download the Excel file with the list of participants for each sweepstake and merge the data manually.

To download it, go to your campaign list and click Leads on the finished campaign or sweepstake you want to choose a winner from.

In the left sidebar, go to Download and export the Excel file with the participants' data.

Repeat this for each campaign or sweepstake, then merge the files into one by copying the data from one into the other.

With the merged Excel file, run the sweepstake using the Sweepstakes from a list of participants app. Follow the step-by-step in the tutorial How to create a Random List Sweepstake.
