Instant Win

These features available on All Plans (except where noted)

Overview

Instant Win allows you to award prizes instantly upon form submission in your campaign. This feature is perfect for awarding multiple prizes or letting participants know immediately whether they've won or lost. Here's how to set it up:

Activating Instant Win

1. Open Form Container Settings:

   • In the Campaign Builder, click on your Form Container, then click the Edit widget settings icon.

2. Enable Instant Win:

   • In the widget settings, open the Instant Win section on the left.
   • Click the disabled link to open the Instant Win Summary dialogue.
   • Set the Enable Instant Win toggle to Yes.

Prize Settings

Once Instant Win is enabled, you’ll see additional settings for managing prize distribution. Adjust these as needed, then click the Next button.

Total Prizes

• Define the total number of prizes to distribute during your contest.
• The system ensures prizes are distributed randomly and somewhat evenly throughout the contest.

Note:

• Fewer Prizes than Days: Prizes are distributed randomly, which may cause clumping.
• Prizes Equal to or Greater than Days: A different algorithm ensures a more even distribution.

Label Winning Entries

• Winning entries are automatically labeled for easy identification in the Entries Manager.
• The default label is winner, but it’s recommended to use a unique label for better organization.

Distribute Unique Codes

This feature available on the Pro Plan

• Toggle Distribute Unique Codes to Yes to assign a unique code (e.g., coupon or prize name) to each winner.
• Upload a new code list or select one from your account.

Note: Unless randomized, codes will be distributed in the order as presented on the list.

Limit Repeat Winners

• No Limit: Entrants can win multiple times based on your entry restrictions.
• Set a Limit: Restrict the number of wins per person (by email).
  • Example: Allow 1 win every X hours/days.

Schedule

Set the Start Date, End Date, and Time Zone for your prize distribution. Use the time zone where most participants are located. After configuring, click Next.

Advanced Settings

Click Advanced to access additional prize distribution controls:

• Prize Distribution Weight:
  • Enter a value of 1 for even distribution throughout the contest.
  • Enter a higher value (up to 5) to prioritize prizes at the start.
• Winning Days: Restrict prizes to specific days of the week.
• Winning Times: Limit prize distribution to specific times of the day.

Summary and Resetting Prizes

• Review a summary of your Instant Win settings, including a distribution graph.
• If prizes are unclaimed (due to low participation, etc.), check Redistribute X unclaimed prizes to spread them evenly over the remaining contest time.
• To reset prizes awarded during testing, click Reset Awarded Prizes to 0.

Setting Win and Lose Messages

Customize the messages winners and non-winners see after form submission.

Using the Form Container's Built-In Settings (Pop-Up)

1. Edit Messages:

   • Click the Form Container in the Campaign Builder and open its settings.
   • Navigate to the After Submit section and ensure Use pop-up to show confirmation is selected.
   • Customize the following messages:
     • You're a winner!: Displayed to winners without a code list.
     • Congratulations!: Displayed to winners with a code list. Use {{ prize_code }} to show the code.
     • You didn't win this time: Displayed to non-winners.

2. Style Messages:

   • Adjust text color and placement in the Style Panel under This Form Container > Confirmation Pop-Up.

Using an Action Widget to Show Custom Messaging

1. Prepare Widgets:

   • Create two Rich Text Widgets, one for winners and one for non-winners.
   • Set their visibility to Starts Hidden (refer to the Widget Visibility Doc for help).

2. Add Action Widgets:

   • For the winning message:
     • In the WHEN section, select Form Container > The entry is an instant winner.
     • In the THEN section, choose the Rich Text Widget with the winning message and select Show.
   • For the losing message:
     • In the WHEN section, select Form Container > Entry is not an instant winner.
     • In the THEN section, choose the Rich Text Widget with the losing message and select Show.

If set up correctly, the appropriate message will appear upon form submission.

Important Note
