This tutorial shows the steps of sharing a reward using Antavo. Sharing the reward is effectively a transfer and this process works as a gift from one loyalty member to another. The member who gave away the reward will no longer have it on their profile.

Reward sharing workflow

The reward sharing solution is available for all types of incentives. The first step is to create a “transferable” 'transferable' reward. Sharing can happen through either the coupon_transfer event for coupon-type rewards (bundle, dynamic coupon, gift card) or reward_transfer event for all other types of rewardrewards. The reward can be shared to with another customer via their customer 's ID or to their email address. The emailing option also works for those who are not yet loyalty members. This scenario results in the creation of an inactive ("ghost") customer and then an opt_in event occurs, registering them in the loyalty program.

The transfer event requires the following information:

Verify that the is gift is received by going to the Events tab on the customer profile.

There are two outcomes of transferring a reward to an email address: the recipient is either a loyalty member or they are not yet present in Antavo. In case the email does not exist in the system, there will be a new, inactive, so-called “ghost” 'ghost' customer profile created with this email address . The and the coupon will be stored on their profile. The use of the inactive customer status depends upon local data processing regulations and policies.

The ghost profile creation is illustrated in the video snippet below.
