Implementing Referrals
Do I need to distribute reward manually to my referred and referrer user in the appDelegate’s branch.initSessionWithLaunchOptions or does the dashboard reward rules handle everything?
If I have to do the manual distribution how can I check if a received link is a referral one generated with branch.getReferralUrlWithParams? thanks!
Hi! The dashboard rule takes care of everything. It’s magic 🙂
All you need to do is set up that rule and then decide what to do with the points when it comes time to redeem. Documentation on the built-in possibilities is here.
Is this still working properly? I’m told the https://dashboard.branch.io/referrals/influencers is no longer updating.
Hi John,
Yes, the rewards rules are still working. However, the numbers on the Influencers tab is currently incorrect. We are working on a fix for this, but the exact timeline for getting it back online is still unknown.
Hi John,
We definitely understand. It’s a pretty important piece of functionality, and our engineering guys are investigating it right now!
In the meantime, we have put together a temporarily workaround process you can follow to access the same data: https://branch.app.link/ptzlYotSWv
