Gleam is a third-party rewards and competition app designed to help you grow your audience. This integration is available to all Omnisend users and Gleam users on the Pro plan or higher. By connecting Gleam with Omnisend, you can send new subscribers directly to your Omnisend audience in real time.


Benefits

  • Grow your email list with giveaways, rewards, and lead capture campaigns

  • Sync new subscribers to Omnisend in real time

  • Organize contacts using tags and custom field mapping

  • Trigger targeted email campaigns and automation workflows

Setup Process

Step 1. In Omnisend, go to Apps → Gleam.io → Connect and copy your API key

Step 2. In Gleam, go to SettingsIntegrationsOmnisend, paste your API key, choose a tag for synced contacts, and click Save Changes.


Step 3. Create a Competition (or go to an existing one) and add 'Subscribe to Our Newsletter' as one of the ways to enter your Gleam Competition. Click on the "Add Email Integration" button, and select Omnisend as the integration

You can override the default tag and even select a different Omnisend brand for each campaign. Custom fields are also supported, allowing you to pass additional contact data alongside the email address (including custom properties).

That's it! Integration is enabled, and every time a new customer enters your Gleam competition, their email address will be passed to Omnisend along with the tag and any fields that you've added.

What Data Is Passed to Omnisend

By default, Gleam sends the subscriber’s email address, a tag, and the contact's name to Omnisend.

You can also pass additional data by mapping fields in Gleam.

Custom field mapping

  • Map Gleam form fields to Omnisend contact fields

  • Use custom properties to pass additional data that doesn’t have a default field

  • Field names must not contain spaces (use underscores instead, e.g. favorite_color)

Welcome Email for Gleam Subscribers

To send welcome emails to contacts from Gleam, create a segment based on your Gleam tag (e.g. source: gleam.io).

  1. Create a segment for contacts with the Gleam tag (e.g. All contacts whose tag is "source: gleam.io")

  2. Create a Welcome automation. Go to Automation → New workflow → Welcome

  3. Change the trigger to Contact enters a segment

  4. Select your Gleam segment

You can also reuse a copy of an existing welcome workflow if you already have one.
