Setting Up an End-of-Voting Action

LAUNCH PLAN

Overview

You can use the Action Widget to show additional content after the vote limit has been reached. For example, you can show a "Come back tomorrow!" message, unlock a reward, or redirect them elsewhere. This guide walks through setting up that trigger, plus a couple of related voting behaviors worth knowing about.

This flow assumes voting and voting restrictions are already enabled on your Entry Display Widget. See How to Set Up Voting if you haven't set that up yet.

Before You Start: Check Your Voting Restriction

Which trigger you'll use depends on how your voting restriction is scoped:

• Maximum votes per user: A total-votes cap on the voter, shown alongside per-entry or per-category restrictions.
• List Limit: A total-votes cap across the entire list connected to the widget..

There's no equivalent trigger for per-entry or per-category limits. Hitting one of those doesn't mean a voter is finished — they can still vote on other entries or categories. To tell someone they've used their votes on a specific entry, use the customizable error message that already displays when they try to vote again on it.

Setting Up the Trigger

1. Add an Action Widget

Drag an Action Widget into your campaign. See the Action Widget help doc if you need a refresher on adding and configuring it.

2. Add Your WHEN Trigger

1. Click the blue + button in the WHEN section.
2. Choose A Widget event, then select your Entry Display Widget.
3. Pick the matching trigger for your restriction scope:
   • A user casts their final vote (Maximum votes per user)
   • A user casts their final vote (list limit)
4. Click Save.

As you pick the Entry Display Widget, a one-line summary of its current voting restrictions shows below the trigger options. Use it to confirm you're setting up the right trigger. Any trigger that can't fire under the widget's current settings appears greyed out with a short explanation (for example, "this widget doesn't restrict voting").

3. Add Your THEN Action

1. Click the blue + button in the THEN section.
2. Choose the widget you want to affect (e.g., a Rich Text Widget with your reward message).
3. Choose the action: Show, Hide, Pop-up, or similar.
4. Click Save.

4. Save and Exit

Click Save and Exit to apply your Action Widget settings.

Good to Know

• If you change restrictions later: If you save a trigger and then change the widget's voting restrictions so it can no longer fire, the Action Widget shows a warning instead of failing silently.
• Vote rejection timing: Actions tied to A vote is rejected now run after the voter closes the error message, instead of rearranging the page underneath it. This applies automatically to all published campaigns — no republish needed.
• Protecting the vote confirmation: The builder now warns you if an action — like hiding the vote widget or redirecting the page — would prevent voters from seeing their vote confirmation, and suggests safer alternatives.
